Whether or not I stand, I put my weapon up for my people. The Tactical turned based RPG game, oh does it give me a thrill for how this genre lets you piece your battles together and fight while diving deep into the story. I came across this one while searching JRPGS on the PS Store and it was on sale, and Kemco? I know of those folks well. Cross Tails is by Kemco and Rideon Inc released on PS5 in July 2023.

Cross Tails follows 2 kingdoms: Ranverfurt and Hildiq, these 2 kingdoms representing both canine and feline have had wars on and off through 10 years, Now as we begin a story, we can choose either side and see the events from their Point of View to show exactly the cost and the heartbreak of war. I went with Ranverfurt for this episode.

The way this game works is our character will be one of a few units on the battlefield, we have to decide the options such as Defending or attacking then place them where to go, a thing called "Hate" is a major factor: Hate is defined when the players units attack or do actions that directly affect a unit, getting targeted is often a factor in Cross Tails, When a unit blocks or defends they keep the direction they face safe and they take less damage.

Most missions require you to finish the battle before a turn limit is up, other times there are npcs we need to protect, these npcs are controlled by us and its best to use Defend as they can't attack that well. The main unit is always a knight who excels at Defending and attacking, other classes (up to 30) like Lancer are useful for the up close attacks. Difficulty isn't too bad though later missions time limits were pissing me off.
