Brigandine is the second tactics game that I played after Final Fantasy Tactics. This is a story about the world of Forsena. Forsena is a mythical world where wizards, knights, and monsters exist. The main goal of this game is to conquer all the castles on the map by means of attacking it with your chosen characters from your chosen country. The countries you can choose from are Leonia, New Almekia, Carleon, Norgard, Iscalio and the secret country you can play only by inputting a secret code on the start of the game, Esgares Empire. Whatever country you choose, the objective is still the same. The only difference is the leaders and their unique ability and magic.I love the level up feature in this game where characters that reach level 10 can transform into a more powerful warrior or wizard with added skills and/or magic. For example, a mage at level 1-9 can transform into a druid or a sorcerer when he reached level 10 and can transform into a necromancer or a wizard at level 20 and above.
I played this game using these strategies.
1. I never left my castle undefended. Meaning I always put three leaders on it with their respective units to be able to defend against enemy invaders.
2. I attack an undefended or least defended castle. It is always best to attack an undefended castle or a castle that is weak in defense.
3. Putting up a gate. I see to it that the castles I have conquered cannot be conquered again by an enemy by protecting one or two castles that they need to break through before they can get to my other castles.
A few years back when I bought my Playstation one console, this game was one of the game discs I chose to be one of my free game discs that are free when you buy a Playstation one console during that time. I failed to test it though and I ended up returning it the day after because it can’t be read by my newly bought Playstation one, talk about the feeling of being a victim of pirated game discs at my first try. Huhuhu. He,he. Anyway, the second game disc that I purchased after a few years is now very readable by my Playstation console even though it is only a pirated copy. But this is the last game I ever played on my Playstation one before it crash and became useless. Ha,ha,ha.
I recommend this game to all who love ancient battles, games and magic.
