Fun! But gets old fast...

A challenging, fun tower defense game at first, but much like any other tower defense game, it gets repetitive fast. The presentation is excellent, with the cute memorable graphics from the Tactics Advanced games that we all loved and the stylized art that sets it apart from other final fantasies. Unfortunately, the additional content in W2 and W3 is subpar, as the new mechanics introduced in them did not really add fun to the strategizing. It was more of a nuisance to figure out how to properly use them. I was very disappointed with the map design, both with the visuals AND the functionality. They lacked any sort of creativity; they were just slight tweaks of the maps from the levels before with different clichéd themes. Another big issue: the strategy is VERY strict. If placement of units are not optimal, you will lose. If you upgrade all your characters too fast, you will lose. This can make the game even less fun as theres not many strategies you can use, and the replay value becomes close to none. Very fun for the first few hours, but the cost of the game doesnt really make up for the amount of fun you have. Perhaps Ill dig this one up in a year or so and relive the fun again... For a few hours.
