TouchArcade: If you loved Final Fantasy Tactics [$13.99 / $15.99 (HD)] but thought it would be better if all of the characters were anime girls, then Japanese indie SRPG Rime Berta [$4.99] may have caught your eye. It's a clear tip of the hat to games like the aforementioned, and in a lot of ways does a very competent job of aping its overall presentation and many of its systems. It's a bit lean on content, which is perhaps understandable given the size of the developer, but its biggest failings are in the fundamentals. It's a serious problem when there are quite a few excellent strategy RPGs on the App Store that, even if nothing else, manage to nail those aspects. In the end, Rime Berta is all dressed up with no place to go.
Playism has announced that Japanese indie studio NEXT-SOFT will be releasing its strategy-RPG Rime Berta on Steam on December 16th for Windows. It will cost $14.99. It is already available on Playism’s store.
This is what we need to see more of SRPGs on current gen consoles
like Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics
