Rondo of Swords (& the Bolero of Difficulty)

Strengths: Plays faster than traditional strategy RPGs.

Weakness: Very challenging AI can be cheap at times, even maddening!

If you're a fan of games like Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, or Final Fantasy TACTICS, you will likely enjoy this game. If you're a gamer that enjoys the more fluid gameplay of a typical Final Fantasy (non-Tactics), rent this game first and you may dislike it very much.

Veterans on the other hand will appreciate the new approach, though their overall enjoyment will depend on their tolerance for pain.

Why Swords? Why not Rondo of Bunnies?

Strengths: Decent Strategy Component

Weakness: High difficulty level.

Rondo of Swords is a good strategy, depending on what you think of strategy games. See, it's difficult. very difficult. but it's designed to be difficult. It's also not revolutionary, or even evolutionary. It's good. If you're a big fan of strategy and tactical combat games, buy this. If you like old school style games with old school difficulty, buy this. otherwise, there are beter tactical...
