In 2006, the western-themed Wild ARMs series entered its fourth installment, and with it came a radical change in the series' combat. Blending traditional RPG conventions with small-scale tactical combat, Wild ARMs 4's HEX combat system was creative and thoroughly enjoyable. Wild ARMs XF (pronounced Crossfire) is an SRPG spin-off of this series, and if the first few hours are any indication, it looks to be an excellent and unusual tactical experience.
