Partia app good for
This is truly the best and most strategic game that is currently in the App Store. Nintendo would be proud knowing that there are many supporters of their popular series known as Fire Emblem. Again, this is a magnificent tactical RPG, so take buying this into game consideration, its worth every penny.
This game is great. I have read many reviews knocking this game for lack of tutorial, but come on, this game is made for people who have played Fire Emblem and the like. I have played so much Fire Emblem and Shining Force, and I have to say, this game is pretty great when it comes to being a clone of that brand. As far as controls go, they seem to have overhauled what was once a clunky system, after reading the older reviews, and made it all touch, (when horizontal) and it handles great. The dialogue could definitely use some work, but its still a pretty good story. After some extremely tense battles, and a few chapter restarts, I was actually able to clear the game without losing a single character, which was very difficult but the challenge was welcoming. It is possible people!
Over all I would give this game a 7/10. The 5 star rating is due to being the only clone Ive found that is worthy in iOS form.
If you like Fire Emblem, get this game!!
Game is pretty much like fire emblem without the fancy fighting scenes.. which is aight I guess; however, it is very hard honestly. The ratios seem a bit off but not crazy and the difficulty from stage 1 to 2 goes way out of scale. Practically impossible to save the girl from the house... just saying but yeah pretty fun game worth trying if your a fire emblem fan.
I will say this right now, this was a game that was geared more for people who played FE and for those who played GBA. And if your complaining about the platform not being up to date, read "Details" and you will find it was 2 people making this game. If you need a tutorial, literally look up "Partia Walkthrough" and it will give you the mechanics. Also, just click on someone to see their attack range, the old fashioned way.
The game itself is a lot of fun. No real explanations just hoping you know the format. Not overly difficult, just be sure to stock up on weapons and items.
The controls are little off which is why its a 4 star instead of 5.
Cool game. Fire emblem for iOS ! I hope they polish the controls and itll b perfect! Make part 2 I hope! Super good game
Some bad moments
If you think youre going to relive your love for old SRPGs through this app, think again. The animation is low quality even by 8 bit standards. Everybody looks like either a blue or a red pixelated stick figure. Theres no exploring in the game. Its all linear story broken up by navigation menus and the actual battles. Worst of all, when a character dies its gone forever, and theres no way to reset a battle if you mess up, so
good luck trying to get better. Its nearly impossible to maintain your team and level up your weak characters. I want a refund.
This would probably be my favorite original tactics game on iOS if it wasnt for the fact that I cannot pass Chapter 2 without losing characters. Partia is close to a perfect Fire Emblem copy, and I wish I could enjoy it fully, but I feel too much experience is needed to level, character stats are WAY too low (same with stat increases during level ups), and somehow my 80+% hit chance will miss twice, but a 30% hit chance will hit twice.
At first I thought it was just bad luck, but after witnessing this happen on multiple occasions, I feel there must be some sort of imbalance.
To put my frustration into an example I just experienced, my level 6 lord face to face with a level 4 hero in a duel could only do 2x2 damage with a steel sword with 61% chance of success and 13 health, died when he missed the level 4 hero twice, and the level 4 hero, with 11 health and 7 or 9x2 attack, landed a hit both times at 30 or so percent hit rate.
I have had this game for ages, and I would deeply love to enjoy the full story and gameplay, but there seems to be some issues in this.
Would give 5 stars, but Ive been waiting for this to be fixed, I keep playing even though I know how imbalanced it is, and it will never get fixed.
Like off brand fire Emblem but 1 million times worse. Felt like a slap in the face for spending my hard earned money on that crap; had to delete it after playing the first level. Please take my word for it
This game was very fun to begin with but after the first few levels the story line broke down. There were gaps of years (game time) between levels and there was no character development at all. If they make another they shold probably make it more than 9 levels.
Good story and gameplay but needs to be updated and needs a little easier controls but everything else is good
This game is amazing if u loved fire emblem ... But there arnt any video fights :/ ... But still amazing ... So buy thi games so they have the funds to make more :)
