Sword of Convallaria

I’ve been playing mobile games for about 10 years now and have been attracted to many of these turn based, pixel, tactics-like RPGs. I’d say that this game sets the bar in terms of the best in class as of writing this. The mechanics are deep and interesting. Plenty of ways to power up units from skill tree decisions to weapons/armor. This game is also basically 2 in one. One part of it is more similar to typical gatcha games with a lot of energy based game modes to gain upgrade material. The second part is somewhat independent, is a single player story driven rogue-like(?) where you are trying to unlock different potential endings to the story. This part of the game could be its own game in and of itself and would have been worth purchasing on steam. Even better is that the story is actually GOOD! It’s not super cliche and you have to make hard decisions. My one wish right now is that the devs would make some of the weaker legendary rarity units a bit better. Doesn’t feel great to roll a super cool looking unit to realize it’s actually kind of weak compared to the others (Guzman!).

I can’t really see if I like it just yet I’m very new to the game and the prices are really expensive from what it seems. Hopefully they’ll ease up on the price tags of things. It just seems like maybe my math wrong but it seems like it’s a dollar for 10 summons and that seems a little steep, but the storyline seems interesting. I don’t like the tarot card thing. I’m not into that. It’s a big turn off. If anything it was the biggest turn off. I almost didn’t install the game because of it. …. So.. just found out that this game had a banner going so short I missed it and the game just came out and it was the exact hero I wanted so essentially the next 6 months to a year I would have played this game just went to a possible uninstall .. I’ve been waiting for a final fantasy tactics style game for so long it’s insane and then the one that drops I miss out on the very character they had a banner for because they decided not to run the banner for longer then a week… unless your willing to reroll illegally this game has just made me want to say some thing sour so I’ll say this… if your looking for a tactics game and don’t care who your playing it’s a great game.. if your a whale and want the best of the best then good luck

This game has the potential to be the Genshin of tactical pixel gaming or simply the new FFT. Unfortunately, the lack of freedom due to stamina being required even for story content and ridiculous double banners (like Genshin’s weapon banners but for their featured characters) ruins it for me. Stamina should only be for mat/gear farming and double banners are a scam that I will never invest in. I play a ton of gacha and this is certainly on the greedier side, but at least it’s not P2W. The other reviews can tell you the good. FFT is one of my favorite games of all time. M I even bought the full WoTL version for mobile. Being newer, this does many things better in terms of story and design. The voice acting is also great although I wish English were an option. The music isn’t quite up to par but the modern combat and animations make up for it. They did a great job with design and story, but again, I’d like more freedom to play and like to know exactly what I’m getting when I consider spending money. It’s sad that they put all of this time into such an award-worthy game that will always stay under the radar due to a few poor decisions. I have a fairly large budget for Genshin and a few other gacha games but it won’t be going here.
