    God Wars is the sequel to Tactics we never received, and deserved. Lest us all play God Wars and forget the dickpunch gba titles we were wrought. Oh, let the archers be braless.

    Definitely way better than Kadokawa Games' previous tactical RPG, Natural Doctrine. Ignore most of the negative scores. I was at first skeptical towards this game but I was pleasently surprised. While I agree that most of the game's aspects were copied from other games, they aren't badly executed like you would you think.

    This is the first game I play through twice. Not by choice though...I was completing Chapter 3 and the whole game crashed and my saved games were corrupted! I actually started again because I thought the game was worth it. This time I saved the game in the cloud as well every night, so that even if it get corrupted, I have a copy. This game is Tactics...no doubt, but I like the story andThis is the first game I play through twice.

The second time around, I used the AI feature to level grind my Characters, but turned it off when doing the story. That Feature helps, but U find it hard to turn it off. you have to catch your character right before the AI moves it.... not that easy. I wish there was a menu screen to turn it off and on.… Expand

    In a year full of JRPGs, God Wars still manages to be a standout. Following Kaguya's story through ancient Japan, dealing with warring factions and angry gods was a fun journey. I found it impressive that for such a lengthy game, the story pacing was well done and I never lost interest in what was happening. In fact, I found myself interested enough as the game progressed that I was researching the people, events, and gods depicted. The gameplay especially shined, with an incredible amount of customization and strategy that has been streamlined out of many console strategy RPGs. The Impurity system was a great addition and helped keep the strategy in this smaller scale game. It's certainly not without flaws, the soundtrack could have used more variety and the limited map size guaranteed that many allies went unused, but the strategy was top notch. Players looking for a mechanically deep strategy RPG with a unique backdrop will not be disappointed.

    God Wars: Future Past offers a decent strategy RPG that keeps things straightforward by throwing away complex mechanics in favour of a well-built job system that calls back to the classic strategy RPGs, like Final Fantasy Tactics. If you enjoy the genre, I can see God Wars: Future Past being an entertaining title, but it’s harder to recommend for the casual fans, even with its less demanding strategy mechanics, because the story isn’t great, the battles can be similar due to some mundane and flat level design, and for people who adore great graphics, the dated visuals won’t do anything for them. Get past those problems and there is a solid strategy game at its heart.

    Overall, God Wars: Future Past is a well-crafted strategy RPG that manages to be both fun for veterans of the genre and newcomers. Its robust job system allows you to experiment freely with different character types and makes what would otherwise be trial and error into a fun task. It’s a solid-looking game overall, but definitely has some visual shortcoming when it comes to the character models. The sound design as a whole is strong though, and the game itself is perfect for anyone looking to get into SRPGs, or for lapsed fans of the genre.
