Mercenaries Lament is a tactical simulation RPG set in a fantasy world.
Battles occur on quarter-view maps with height differences, where character positioning in the front, back, and side of enemy units may very well determine each battle’s outcome. Support effects depend on where allied characters in your party are positioned, allowing players to enjoy highly strategic maneuvers. Players have a high degree of freedom in character development, such as acquiring and strengthening skills and changing classes by using skill points earned in battle.
The characters are beautifully drawn with rich facial expressions by the illustrator Sakura Mochi!
