Empire of Angels IV

This is a decent buy-to-own strategy-rpg game: no ads (once you pay the one time full-game unlock), no gacha, no login bonuses, etc. It's very appreciated! This is a pretty simple SRPG (roughly Shining Force-level), but with a lot of content and a lengthy story. There is a large amount of maps with a variety of objectives, alongside with challenging optional objectives to complete. The character art is beautiful, there's a large cast that actually stays involved in the main storyline and there is full voice-acting (although in Chinese). On the negative side, the English translation is so-so (it's completely readable, but it reads clumsily and the jokes fall flat). Battle animations and mount design are also very silly, to its detriment in my opinion and is at odds with the somewhat serious story. Finally, late-game super attack animations are lengthy and unskipable, which slows down what used to be speedy battles. Overall, I'd say it's not an exceptional SRPG, but it's enjoyable and worth both the price and my time playing it. Especially worthwhile for people who wants to purchase full games on Android instead of the usual "milk the customers" approach!

Note this is not a free game, just demo and you will have to pay after certain chapter. Sort like FFXV pocket or those kingturn games. But it is a one time purchase to unlock and that's it. For the gameplay itself, the game is simple grind-to-win TRPG game. The likes of FFTactics or Fire Emblems. This A unit strong vs B and weak vs C alike. You grind a stage few times > progress > repeat. The multi slot saves also lets you error spaces before encountering permanent choices or bugs.

Just a 4 battles demo, if you want you can buy the full game. Haven't paid for the full game so not too sure will this be as good as the old Empire of Angels, but seems interesting enough. Would be nice if dev gives an overview or demo of different troops and the upgrade path for different troops etc.
