I don't know why, but I feel like talking about Dragon Force.

Actually I do know why, because it's amazing.

Any ways to make this game more challenging? Personally I never allow myself to use Standby + Melee in battle. Any other tricks people use?

Always piqued my interest. Is it like ogre battle?

I don't want to say no, but I don't want to say yes. Conceptually, it shares elements as far as army vs army is concerned, but it plays very differently.

I'd liken it much more to a childhood favorite of mine, Defender of the Crown, but with no siege tactics, but fuller 2D side scroll battles of army vs army, RPG elements as far as magic and items that can effect those battles, and political decisions to make in between battles as far as building castles, exploring areas on the map, exploring your own castles, raising armies, rewarding generals, and recruiting captured generals

Dragon Force goddamn rules. I looked for it for YEARS in salvation armies and used game stores, and finally found the CD case for a copy…and the goddamn case was goddamn empty. Fuck you, game xchange. But yeah, few games properly combing TBS with RTS and this game gets it just right. Tons of replayability with the different kingdgoms, interesting combat, and unique spells for every general (fucking dagger throw sucks lol) really keep my interest. To me challenge is playing with the bow specialist woman, she is surrounded by more and better troops right off of the bat and it doesn't really ever get easier.

It is in the sense that you manage multiple squads/armies in real time, explore a map and interact with other characters, and have a list of 'leaders' with various abilities. It's actually a lot easier to play than Ogre Battle tbh

Pick Two

Dragons + Ensnare + Resurrect + high MP + good attack spell = impossible to lose a battle and impossible for their general to escape

I had to force myself to stop using her.

Dragon Force 2 got an English translation patch a couple months ago:

Just in case anyone didn't know.

I've been waiting over a decade for this. I remember it always in a state of "almost there."

That's a long damn wait, anon.

Post up your thoughts on it when you get a chance.

You're not kidding. I imported the game in 1999, and I barely played beyond an hour or so because I didn't want to spoil it without knowing what was going on.

It's been sitting on my shelf for 16 years, it's still there now.

You could've become a professor or Runeology in that time, old chap.
