An exceptional addition.Old_gamer2024-04-15Version 1.33

I do not know where to start on this one. This is really something.

The first thing is that the story is not a ragtag merc group fighting the good fight, but a tale that takes many difficult and often tragic turns and tells a deep story between a few kingdoms and war. Some powers should not be used. This storytelling is excellent. There are a few tiny lines that are different, but are very few and far in between. Second thing is the music. I didn't know this was possible, but the music is in full stereo sound and is completely different and is really memorable as well. I do not know if the music is all original, but my goodness it is good. Third is we have good heroes, decent villains, a new class and new weapons in bombs.

The game does reward haste. The battles are for the quick and strategic, not the passive. The game makes sure that you must always be on the move. This may sound tough, but it is manageable. It keeps the pace quite tense. You are really being a military general and have to make bold decisions to win and keep your army alive too, it can be done.

There is one issue, and that is the epilogue does not launch, but the ending seems complete before that.

Overall, this is quite a long, but fun and deep story. I recommend his one for sure.
