One of the best tactical games on android, lots of content, different story branches, class based tactical combat, its just great. Buy at the end of the dau its just a cheaper FFT... and I loved every second of it

When I installed the English version, no text was visible -- only red bars that apparently covered lines where text should have appeared. I see in other negative reviews that other players have experienced this glitch. I do hope the developers fix this.

Good story but poorly paced, by chapter 5 battles are so unbalanced you MUST grind to get further which is boring. Interface isn't great, but it is a port of an old Java phone game so fair enough, at least they added touch. Could have been much better.

in Mercenary Saga 2, the player takes on the RPG role of prince-rescuer in a political plot to usurp the throne. the battle/character system is most akin to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (gba version) which is a pleasant surprise. you will find you need to grind a few extra battles to evolve your classes. enjoyable time spent, great ride for the price. no sound, so put some headphones in and play some tunes. oh, and one more thing. get used to the cursor- it's worth it!

Better than many other games that advertise strategy elements. I dislike games that require you to have an internet connection and an account with them to even run let alone play and this game is similar to FF Tactics without the normal added weight of many phone games.

This appears to be a trial. There are red bars covering every bit of text encountered, rendering the game unplayable which blows because I have a friend hyping up the game on Switch. Maybe you need to pay to get rid of the red bars.

Text won't show on Android 8.0 and after contacting them the said Android has many phones and may not work on all of them. 8.0 is almost the latest version of the Android and they also said the have no plans in updating the software. It's a waste of your time and money.

Graphical error. So every bit of text in this game, from start up, has a red bar covering the words. I cant see any options or read any text because of the bar. I also purchased the full game and the bar is still there.

A fun tactical rpg that works well on mobile. The story is pretty shallow but the game play is good. I would advise raising search to max as soon as you get it and looking for at least 1 trade card on each story level they are needed for final class unlocks.

Great game. Bought the full version and played it through all the chapters. The controls were quite odd at first, but I eventually got used to it. The graphic looks nice and the execution of the gameplay is really amazinh. Looking forward for the other english release of the series!

The full game is locked behind a paywall. Its a decent mobile game but honestly you might as well just buy fftactics on mobile for a couple more $ unless you buy the offer that gives all 3 Merc saga games. The gameplay requires a lot more polishing and the game is just battle after battle with preparation menus before each battle and without an overworld much like in some Fire emblem games.

Well built game. Simple mechanics, but better designed than many similar games. Nice skill tree. Decent graphics. Reminds me of old SNES games. Free version is only 6 levels, but the price is reasonable and in-app purchases are not necessary to win.

Reminds me of the good old times with clunky, grindy, and cheesy tactical/ strategy rpgs. However cliche the game plot is, I love the cast, and looks to have replay value. One thing that reminds me of my rpg itch that cant be scratched...there is red bars in place of text, of this mobile version. Message to the Tabletoppers: Just get this on the 3ds. Also, The 3ds also has the third game available.

An excellent tactical RPG in the vein of Final Fantasy tactics. Storyline is decent but a bit cliche. Class options are a bit more limited than tactics with each character having their own set of 7 classes. If you miss an item in the story quests you can't go back and get it. All in all it was pretty enjoyable. My only real gripe would be the 6 char limitation for most of the game only to suddenly require all 10 for the final battle. Needed a lot of grinding to build up the 4 unused chars.

This is a great FFT clone. The story is compelling, if a little cliche, and featuring a good cast with believable motives. Character art is nice and the style is so evocative of FFT it would be easy to confuse them. There are a few differences in gameplay worth noting: The turns are more like xcom than fft: all of your team moves and then all of the enemies move. There is some customization options, but the job system is much more limited. buy and enjoy!

I love the game, but after leveling up for a while I got booted from the game and when I went back on all my progress was lost. It's happened twice so far going on my third attempt now... Pls fix

Fun tactics game. I don't understand the low rating. It's a free fun little rpg tactic game. Not to complex and the story is ok but again... It's free... Only thing is i wish i could use a bigger party. I have sever characters but i seem to only be able to battle with 6 at a time, which is classic of tactics games unfortunately. Wish i could bring in more characters.... I hope to see more games like this.

Look. Temp save in the battle. The game will randomly close out and you'll just be SoL for the past 20 minutes. The controls are a little wonky to get used to (there's an exponential ramp on touch mode) but they're alright after a bit. Overall it's fun and worth it......just save mid-battle or you might risk wanting to hurl your phone across the room.

Loved the game, played it for years off and on. It's like a Pocket FFT. I heard there are issues with red bars blocking text. However I recently reopened the game, and my phone has no such issues, the game is just as good as ever. (Interesting note, if you click on the studio name above, there's a list of Japanese versions including a sequel... But not available to USA.) UPDATE: they updated the US version, just bug fixes, but it's still worth the play, lots of end game+ material

Well done tactics game. My only complaint is the touch screen interface. Many times I end up accidentally doing an action I did not want to do. It would also be awesome if the game could be played sidecreen instead of vertical Absolutely LOVED the mixed up specializations of each character, making them all incredibly useful in. their own way and fun to play. The Final Boss battle was an awesome challenge, and learning to utilize your characters made the training well worth it.
