You only control nameless mooks in battle, there are no heroes like in fire emblem. It really is more like Advance War in that way. But every faction has a number of different generals (two to three per faction I believe) who each have a passive and two active effects. The passive ones are things like taking over citeis imedately or all units having more health while the active ones range from healing to having everyone who is in a forest act again. Active abilities are powered by mana, which you get for combo kills.What are combos? Attacking an enemy will place a combo marker on that unit. If you attack that unit again with another unit without doing anything else in between (moving and attacking with one unit counts as one action and does not break combo) will deal increased damage and reduce the damage of the counter. This stacks up to three times. Killing a unit with combo markers on them will generate mana equal to the amount of markers on that unit.The campaign is good. It doesn\u00b4t have a deep story with any notable twists (so far) but it is written in a humorus way. Don\u00b4t take it seriously, it doesn\u00b4t take itself seriously too. And best of all: Everything is deterministic and you can undo each of your actions however often you want during a turn, so even if you misclick you can undo and do better till you have foudnd the best combo. So battles are decided by long term strategy, not by who can calculate the best and does the least misclicking during short term skrimishes.. I might be more receptive to this game if co-op is developed. Its single-player is nowhere nearly as good as some old-but-great games like Shining Force and Warsong, but if the dev manages to add a good co-op system? I'd be all in. Maybe three people maximum with their own little armies of 10-15 units each, perhaps in campaign format? That would be fun! ... Unfortunately, without something like that, this game isn't even worth money -- especially not with emulators readily available. It simply does not compare to the greats.. there's a reason it's cheap compared to the greats (fire emblem, shining force). 2 hours in, and I am loving this game. If you are like me and love classics like Warsong\/Langrisser, Fire Emblem series, and also perhaps Wesnoth, then this one is for you! Development is ongoing, with a strong focus on customer feedback. Well done!!. Shattered Throne is sort of a hybrid between Nintendo's Advance Wars and Fire Emblem games. From Advance Wars it takes the basic flow of gameplay: make money, build units, trade casualties, capture buildings, as well as COs and CO Powers. From Fire Emblem it takes the fantasy-medieval setting and individual unit level-ups. That being said, Shattered Throne brings many new mechanics to the table which set it apart from these games.The meat and potatos of combat in this game is the combo system. Units are afflicted with a "combo" when struck, up to a maximum of three. Combos reduce their defense and counterattack strength, but will only stick around if the unit suffers many consecutive attacks. If any other action is taken (attacking a different unit, not attacking, ending the turn, etc.) the unit loses all combos and regains its usual stats. Since most units in the game are actually quite tough, an attacking player must be careful not to lose their combos before the enemy unit is dead.Thankfully, Shattered Throne also has an "undo" function. You can reverse any move you have made during the current turn, allowing you unlimited flexibility to optimise your moves prior to ending your turn.The rest of what this game has to offer is better experienced than explained. If you're a fan of Nintendo's old turn-based strategy games, you will definitely enjoy Shattered Throne. Even if you've never heard of those games, Shattered Throne is still a worthy addition to any TBS gamer's library.. there is no difficulty set up. I love this game. There are a few glitches in the interface, but nothing that can't be jiggered out of. The strategic mechanics are spot on. Graphics are acceptable and reminiscent of SNES days. The campaign is long and the puzzle mode is pretty cool. Theme and dialogue are cheesy, but the mechanics more than make up for it. Definitely a good buy for a few bucks!!!
