[Toucharcade 4.5 / 5]: "Tactics Maiden is an excellent strategy RPG that any fan of the genre should try out."

This new game from Mangomobile is on par with their previous ones. It's even deeper on the character part, and the graphics have finally got some deserved love. A must have as usual, and even more than usual.

In my opinion Tactics Maiden is one of the best mobile releases so far this year. You won’t find a game with more capacity to challenge, ability to customize solutions, and depth on recent mobile. Levels are puzzle-like with environmental barriers requiring different solutions (you can’t just bash your way through but need to be smart due to enemies on all fronts or other details). One of the coolest things is how devious the enemy artificial intelligence is; beneath all the strategy elements Tactics Maiden might be an enemy AI simulator most of all and the developer seemed especially focused on crafting a smart intelligence system. There are 80+ scenarios, which can be played in bit sized chunks – most levels took me 15 – 60 minutes to play. Autosave is great so if you need to pick up a game where you left off later it’s seamless. The diversity of character classes makes it feel like there are plentiful options; it’s impossible to use all accessible character types in one level so approaches feel plentiful. Tactical variety is highlighted by all the equipment (there are multiple types of same tiers items – ex: with armor you can protect against two but not all of the damage types so need to chose wisely because there is often a weakness – bows, physical, or magic); nevermind that some loot gives bonus abilities/buffs for extra kick. There are a ton of special abilities (based on MP; such as summoning monsters, fireballs, invisibility, etc) that offer different styles even within the same character class along with certain class buffs (i.e. mages have a chance of surviving otherwise fatal blows with 1HP). Plot-wise I found the story to be good but at times stalls with so many scenarios. Tactics Maiden is essential to try if you enjoy mobile gaming; for $4.99 it’s a bargain but it may not be for everyone. One key is the ability to adjust difficulty to your taste (I recommend 4 for strategy fans, you can decrease/increase at any time). The story drags a bit in the middle and graphics are more retro. After each level there are plentiful statistics. Definitely give Tactics Maiden a shot, highly recommended - it's better than the Kingturn games were (and Kingturn/etc is great).

Most every game launches this way and has as long as I've been on the appstore. The actual launch date/time is Midnight on Wednesday morning... but for some reason we get em at 11est/10cst (etc) on Tuesday. Updates on the other hand typically work when they are approved.

Designer & Developer Germany http://www.mangobile.com #16 niebau, Sep 18, 2014 Last edited: Sep 18, 2014 Exactly the same way like Kingturn, yes. 8 scenarios are free top play, and there's a one-time IAP to unlock the full version with (currently) 84 scenarios. We will add some post-campaign content in the future, so I'm quite sure there will be around 100 scenarios in the end. PBSNellie Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2013 1,381 168 63 Southern CA #17 PBSNellie, Sep 18, 2014 very cool! Looking forward to this one. anabolicMike Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2013 302 0 0 #18 anabolicMike, Sep 18, 2014 I bought one of these on my android tablet. kingturn.... Very wild game. Tons of depth and tons of accessories. I really enjoyed it, I don't think I completed the whole game but when I switched tablets I didnt reinstall this... Sorry didn't mean to go over board on you with the talking. Ill shutdown now hah. Ok excited to play this. Lol expect a sale ScotDamn Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Jul 8, 2013 1,990 0 36 Wireless Sales Happy Daddy https://twitter.com/ScotDamn #19 ScotDamn, Sep 18, 2014 After the in depth tutorial and first campaign mission, I gotta say I'm beyond happy with this game. I really can't do it justice. The improvements and polish over the previous games is hard to put into words. All I can really say is that if you liked the idea of kingturn but never sunk it's deep teeth inside you, give tactics maiden a hard hard look. So far I'm ecstatic. Pagan Fox Well-Known Member Jul 20, 2012 476 32 28 #20 Pagan Fox, Sep 18, 2014 If you enjoyed any of the Kingturn series of RPG's then this is the next evolution and a must buy. If you haven't played any of them before then you can still download and try for free for 8 scenarios before deciding to buy. You can't get fairer than that! Totally engrossing, very polished game.
