PSP turn based Tagged Stories

RedLynx brings you a combat game called the Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command, that should appeal to gamers who are avid fans of turn-based strategy. The game is based on a simple storyline, but what makes it worth a try is its great level designs. It makes you feel like every assignment is a fresh challenge. Moreover, the game also has a refreshing tactical engine. You move and fight in a traditional turn-base battle setting where every unit has a fixed set of action points, and each has to move and shoot during each turn.

In this combat adventure you fight for the Imperium and are pitted against the forces of Chaos. Without an iota of doubt, it is the game’s smart and challenging level design that really holds it together. The blend of solid enemy placement, along with lots of options for cover in buildings, walls, wreckage, and other landscape features, make combat truly engaging. Another interesting aspect of the game is that a strong enemy always keeps you on your toes; but you do have some very sophisticated weaponry for dealing with such opponents.

Some genuine drawbacks really prevented the game from being a real winner. The one that you will immediately realize is an ill functioning camera, which is locked in a tight isometric point of view and can only be slightly swiveled around with the analog stick. You are consequently handicapped to a great extent in the battle scenario. It is obvious the Warhammer series, including such hits as Warhammer 40k - Dawn of War, was PC based, since the PSP handheld is not at all optimum for many of the controls that would be executed easily with a PC. Furthermore and quite ironically, the camera ends up misleading you; as the images are inconclusive and it makes it difficult to decide whether you have cleared an object, and whether your shot will go unimpeded. You cannot also foretell how a shot will turn out until you have fired a round, which is really crucial in the context of the game as you stand to lose valuable action points for each shot. Another difficulty that you will encounter is controlling your troops, as all the operations are done with the four-way directional buttons. It makes firing on targets and moving a quite awkward.

It is an interesting game with lots of complexity and playability, which will grab your attention for at least a pretty long time. Based on the same features, you can call it a new, more polished version of the two-year-old game.

In addition to pleasant graphics and impressive audio, the Yggdra Union also involves some really engrossing gameplay. The voice acting in the game is outstanding, and really helps you immerse yourself more in the story. All the major story sequences have an audio base in English as well as Japanese. This is great for enhancing the plot and making the gameplay much more enchanting. Although the story is a bit lengthier than the original Gameboy Advance one, you will find no time to think in between the game’s consecutive twists. The introduction of new characters and interesting plots was designed to, and has succeeded in, keeping boredom at bay.

The story is based on the princess Yggdra’s efforts to reunite her descended world. As a role-playing game, the player enters the shoes of the young princess and forms a team of brave folks. You and your companions have to fight all those dark foes that frequently obstruct your way. To support your mission, there is a great device in the form of a “holy sword”, promising to punish all those who have harmed your natives. The sword guides you towards your destination. On your part, you need to answer some questions about the sword’s specialty and also about your insight vision. The turn-based battles are simple, but really helpful in maintaining the game’s flow.

The intervals provided in battle are also a great time to plan strategy and get ahead. You are also provided with a preparation time before jumping in the battlefield, the most important aspect of which is creating unions. Altogether, the game is quite interesting and a fun to play. Even if you played the original game, this one a worth a look, since it redefines so many of the original elements in Yggdra.
