That is likely my only complaint about this game. Some skills on the trees are locked to the game’s easy and hard modes, the latter of which NIS claims has been tweaked to provide a greater challenge than in the original release. In a very player-friendly decision, OnceMore allows you to respec these skill trees at any time, so if you walk into a challenge that is heavy on enemy Alchemy familiars, you can redistribute your coins to the Sorcery skill trees to get the upper hand. As you proceed through the story and complete optional side-missions, you earn coins you can spend on these trees to improve your units or give yourself an advantage in battle. Each of the different grimoires Lillet learns has its own tree. But it made me pretty careless in those opening hours, and I had to control my use of it if I wanted to see this game through to the end.Īnother feature new in this remaster is the skill tree. As the combat sequences can go on for quite some time, it’s a godsend of a feature.
The most obvious sign of this is how often I used the new fast-forward feature to speed through each battle. At around Lillet’s third trip through the loop, that was no longer working for me, and I had slow down and really think about I would go about defeating my enemies. In the early chapters, when the types of familiars were limited, I could power my way through every challenge. It didn’t take me too long to get a good understanding of what beats what, but remembering the names of the different familiars you can summon and their special abilities was something of a struggle. Grimoires, runes, and familiars fall into four magical categories (Glamour, Necromancy, Sorcery, Alchemy) that are bound to a rock-paper-scissors power dynamic. Familiars is the general term for any creature you can summon in battle, including fire-breathing dragons, various types of magical turrets, cats armed with sleep spells, and the most disturbing chimera I think I’ve ever seen. Instead, she uses the various grimoires she’s earned to produce runes from which she’ll summon familiars that do her fighting and resource harvesting. In battle, Lillet doesn’t do any of the fighting herself.
If you’re coming to this straight from 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, know that the RTS battles here trend closer to what you’d find in traditional entries in the genre. In each of GrimGrimoire OnceMore’s chapters, you’ll attempt to lead Lillet to victory in 2D real-time strategy battles. To keep her teachers and fellow students from meeting an early grave, Lillet will often have to defeat them on the battlefield.
