Terra Battle

This is the new RPG/strategy game from Final Fantasy’s Sakaguchi on iOS, and it’s available now on the Canadian iTunes Store – it comes out internationally on October 9. I’ve checked it out and have to say that the battle system is really cool. You play on a grid, with your party members and enemies represented by square icons, and you position your characters on the board in relation to the enemies to do attacks, use skills, etc. From what I’ve played so far, there’s a lot of strategy involved, so it’s definitely a step above what you usually get in a free-to-play iOS game. I do wish the story aspect was more developed – it’s limited to text between chapters, which is still interesting, but I would like more.
