Analysis

I think the appeal of this game is not really combat strategy, but more in keeping your limited array of monsters alive and leveling them up to become unstoppable killing machines. As I understand it, you can keep leveling up your monsters during a campaign, so maybe that's the most interesting way to play this.
Log entries
- 13513This is a turn-based hex grid strategy game with dragons and stuff. However, the soundtrack sounds absolutely amazing with beautiful synth patches. I need to play more of this, just for the soundtrack.
- 13588I played a few minutes of this. It's very similar to Battle Isle, in that you summon monsters (build units) and capture buildings in a hex grid.

I'm playing my first serious game, I gave myself way more mana income than the AIs, which makes learning the game a bit easier.
- 15403Completed the game with Daimyou on difficulty (FIRELAND).
I completed this one stage and got a credits roll. That was fun, I even ended up with a lvl3 dragon!
