| Cold-Flipper said: I don't understand the Bolded. I get the gist of your post though. It sounds much more strategic than Pikmin or Paper Mario. I'm still not quite sure. I want to try out new franchises but last time I did that I hated it. (Metroid with Prime 3) The demo got me interested but didn't pull me in enough to say "I need to buy this". Do you like the game a lot? |
Regarding the bolded, some weapons have special effects against certain units. For example, Knights are slow-moving, heavily-armored units who normally shrug off physical attacks like swords, bows, etc., and ideally should be attacked with magic. However, there is a special type of axe called the Hammer. If your axe-user chooses to attack a Knight with an Iron Axe, he might do 4 HP worth of damage. If he uses a Steel Axe, that might increase to 5 HP. But if he uses a Hammer, he can do 20+ HP damage. But that only applies to Knights: any other unit will take the same amount of damage as it would if your unit attacked with a measly Iron Axe, even though the Hammer is much more rare and expensive than an Iron Axe; the Steel Axe would actually be both cheaper and stronger in most cases. If it helps, think of it in Pokemon terms: some attacks are Super Effective against certain foes, but they're limited in use and possibly weaker against other opponents.
For your question: I'm a really big fan. But to be fair, I like the series. Still, the consensus on the internet seems to be that people generally like the game, whether they've played the series before or not.
