So I hurt my foot. Don't ask me, I don't know how I did it. A few days later, my mother needed my help for heavy lifting. I couldn't put much pressure on my foot, and I twisted my back.
Wtf does this have to do with anything? Well I couldn't sit in my chair, so the lure of warhammer was broken. I started playing Yggdra Union on my PSP. I dig it so far.
First of all, the most important thing: the sprites. The sprites are beautiful, I love them. The artwork is pretty simple in this game. You've got character portraits, an incredibly simplistic strategic map, and then the character sprites used in battle. They have nice detail and are very fluid.
Voice acting is pretty good so far, but there is an option for original Japanese if you are a nerd.
The game itself plays like a weird cross between a collectible card game and Fire Emblem. You have this very basic battle map. Extremely small, reminds me more of one of those super old computer strategy games than your typical srpg. You choose a card and it determines your attack power and movement range for a round. You can only attack once a round. But adjacent units form a "union" and attack or defend all at once. It's nifty.
Battle plays out as a sort of extended battle animation sequence, although there is a bit of strategy you can play with by choosing how aggressive your attack is.
