Yggdra Union – Better together

I’ve loved tactical RPGs ever since Vandal Hearts in 1997. I can’t get enough of them and will take a chance on pretty much any game in the genre. It usually pays off, but not always… The very best games in the genre tend to come from Japan, which sometimes leaves me battling against the language barrier of import-only releases rather than the rank and file of an enemy army. In the Sega Saturn era, in particular, I took a chance on some amazing looking SRPGs like Black/Matrix, Terra Phantastica or FEDA Remake, but despite perseverance and a deep familiarity with the genre, I’d often find myself slogging through walls of text or struggling to understand their intricate game mechanics.
