Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings Reviews

TrustedReviews reviews the Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and writes;

“Now, I always have my doubts about whether an RTS can work on the DS format, but Revenant Wings does a mostly excellent job. You can select units by tapping them with stylus, lassoing a selection or choosing the hero in command from a tab at the top of the touch-screen. The upper screen gives you an overhead map and unit-specific info when requested. Once selected, you can send the unit to a new position by scrolling the screen using the D-pad and tapping their destination with the stylus, or ask them to attack by tapping the enemy unit of your choice. Provided the battle is not too heated, it’s not too hard to arrange your troops, keep up a steady flow of backup espers, attack enemy positions and defend against any counter-attacks. ”

IGN reviews the Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and writes;

“Finally, good old Tarou. This reviewer praised the game’s balance, which he said is perfect for a portable game. The only bad points he noted involved difficulties in selecting areas of the battle field with the stylus. He suggested using buttons during battle.”

Arstechnica reviews the Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and writes;

“Surprisingly, the plot is quite good considering the scale of the title; don’t expect a strung-together mock-story like Final Fantasy III. Revenant Wings leverages the lore of Final Fantasy XII and puts out a fairly captivating tale that further develops the original characters. It’s not the most involving story that the series has produced, but for a handheld release it’s impressive.”

Gamanima reviews the Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and writes;

“There is a secret ending to the game that can be earned by completing all of the game’s missions and earning 100% on mission completion. Since the game is fairly easy to understand, Revenant Wings is a title that anyone can easily play to help them break into the RTS/RPG mold if they’ve never experienced it before. The game is pretty import friendly as, again, its easy to understand; and the only thing you’d really miss out on is the game’s story if you have no knowledge of the Japanese language. Take the time to play the game before giving it the “buy/pass” option; you may end up enjoying it as much as some importers have enjoyed it.”

Eurogamer reviews the Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and writes;

“This works rather well, actually. By clicking on a named character, you can select all of the creatures he has summoned - so if you’re careful about organising your summons, you can select a healing group, or a ranged weapon group, with ease. You can also drag a box around a number of units to group-select, just like a PC RTS game.”

Computerandvideogames reviews the Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and writes;

” It’s a brilliantly simple, easily playable game, set in one of the most atmospheric worlds we’ve ever seen on DS…Verdict: Witty story, great characters and a bite-size battle system that’s ideal for DS. You can’t fail to be impressed by this, regardless of whether or not you’re a fan of Final Fantasy. ”

1up reviews the Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and writes;

” Lightweight doesn’t mean worthless, though. Thanks to some tough (but never unreasonably frustrating) battles, a healthy dose of fan service, and a quality localization, Revenant Wings is a thoroughly enjoyable hybrid. It’s hardly the second coming of Final Fantasy XII…but somehow manages to turn that into a strength anyway. ”

DSfanboy reviews the Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings and writes;

“Revenant Wings is a true hybrid, with strong RPG elements and RTS influences that are just as strong, if somewhat simplified, and it picks up a few very specific abilities from its predecessor. Hardcore strategy fans may find the gameplay a bit light for their tastes, but the story and character depth offer enough to fill most gaps. ”
