Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga

Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga is a tactical role-playing game about the events that unfolded after the long conflict between the Veridian Empire and Tanra. The war has exhausted both sides, and now, against the backdrop of this devastation, a new threat is rising, which the hero’s squad will have to deal with. Battles take place with the participation of squads, rather than individual fighters: groups of different types of troops are under command, and the outcome depends on their composition. Infantry, cavalry, archers and magic work together, and weak sides cover each other. There is also character development: they can be transferred to new classes and change specialization. The world map connects battles with history, and between battles there are dialogues and decisions that affect relationships within the squad. The failure of one mission does not cancel the campaign, but it affects further. It is also worth noting that the units are formed manually: you can assemble a balanced group, or you can rely on cavalry or magicians. In addition to battles, there is camp management and preparation for the next missions, as well as decisions that affect the relationship between the heroes. Some characters join as the story progresses, and each has their own reasons for being here. There are also additional tasks that reward rare items. The game is long and requires planning: a mistake in the formation of a squad costs several defeats in a row. For fans of tactical role-playing games, this is a sturdy option with a lot of capacity. The game is designed for those who love tactical battles with placement. For fans of the genre, the Symphony of War provides many hours of planning.
