Most Time Consuming Gameplay Ever
you take literally 1 minute to order your unit to attack, just to get an animation that takes 1 second. If you enjoy playing this game then you have problems.
Reviews for "Ultimate Tactics"
this game is...AWESOME
this is posibly the greatest RPG on newgrounds...keep it up dude!!
Not bad
It's a pretty okay game. I didn't play it that much since it's a bit late and I'm getting sleepy but it seems the rest of it would be good. For some strange reason it reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics.... a lot...
There are a few problems..
I have to say that this game is pretty good, especially for a first, if it is your first.
But, regardless, maybe before you make a tactics rpg you should play more so you get a better feel for how they go so more people will enjoy it. Obviously you think mages are some over-armored, overpowered creature that can do a lot alone, and the 50g stay at the Inn didn't justify what it did. It should either scale with your level, or overall be much cheaper. At the beginning 50g was a lot, also, the main character is depressingly weak compared to his partner, and the story isn't really...there, like the guy below me said.
Honestly? It has potential, but, it doesn't deserve such good scores, it's like a beta and needs more before it's really ready to be considered much of a game instead of a demo. Work on it, make a number 2, or a different game entirely with a better name.
And seriously, play more tactics to get the feel of them before you make one.
4/10 for being a Demo and not a real game yet.
No great story but great gameplay sums this up.
This game had the essentials for a good GameBoy game from 02 or 03. It got boring at times but that didnt stop it from being a good and exciting game with it's unusual gameplay and story. Anyways time to rate this game.
Story : 1/10, No story whatsoever besides the fact that this is a response to Ultimate Defense and that this is a sequel as Ultimate Tatics. Really no ingame story though which is a virtue in this one.
Violence : 7/10, Not a lot of violence of blood or gore, but it really goes as violent as a game like this can. Afterall its practically a spoof off of GameBoy games from the early century with a checkers gameplay, how violent can it really get with characteristics like that?
Gameplay : 8/10, Not much information of how to play ( for people that are new to these kind of games ) but its pretty simple and clear. The author provides the game was crystal clear gameplay which doesn't leave people stuck not knowing what to do with the gameplay. On the other hand it wasn't quite addictive like Halo, Gears, or Resident Evil just to name a few. Mainly because this is a totally different type of game which demands a slower and more patient gameplay for better results.
Overall : 7/10, lacking a real story for a Knight Game ( almost all knight games have a thick story to them, unraveling everything in it )but with superb gameplay that really saved this game with its best effect : gameplay. Not a lot of violence but with good gameplay ( such as in a game like checkers ) you dont really need a lot of violence to make a good game. A solid 7/10.
