Clarent Saga: Tactics Download For Pc [Patch]

Updated: Dec 9, 2020





















































About This Game A straightforward Srpg Made With Srpg Studio. The gameplay and scenario/script are inspired by classic 16 bits TRPGs. Synopsis The storyline follows the armies of Prince Abel of Meyr as they battle the Ranasseh Empire and the monsters they unwittingly awaken, framed as a battle between the forces of good and the cult of Brax that threatens to overrun the world. The story begins with an assault on the Nation of Meyr by the forces of the Ranasseh Empire. King Adam sees the castle will not be able to stand and urges his son Prince Abel to flee to the town of Belsar, both for his own safety and to gather reinforcements from King Arthur. He assigns the mage Pascal to go with Abel and protect him on the journey. Features - Adjustable difficulty (8 Difficulties) and a lot of options; - Around 40 playable characters; - Around 55 Small Maps and more with some variation (good replayability); - A branching storyline with moral ambiguity and dark themes (choose your own path!); - Great classical Music (3 hours soundtrack); - Fast strategic battle. Creator David Nguyen: CST is the culmination of countless hours of painstaking work and the realization of David's childhood dream of making his own TRPG. A French citizen, programmer and statistician, David is a fan of old- and new-school TRPGs. b4d347fde0 Title: Clarent Saga: TacticsGenre: Indie, RPG, StrategyDeveloper:David NguyenPublisher:David NguyenRelease Date: 25 Sep, 2017 Clarent Saga: Tactics Download For Pc [Patch] clarent saga tactics. clarent saga tactics download Not the greatest but for the price you really have nothing to lose. I'm only on Scenario III but that should encompass the majority of gameplay features.Pros:-Does well to capture the gameplay of RPGs like Fire Emblem and Tear Ring Saga-Plenty of slots for save files.-Sprites are kind of nice-Tutorial does its job-Base Conversation feature-Adjustable difficultyCons:-Story, while reminiscent of Fire Emblem, does not feel compelling as a result of execution-Love relationships is rushed-In-combat talking can be unpredictable and you might miss a text if you hold fast-forward after your turn-Some names could be better-*Awful font spacing [EN]-*Full Screen [F1] appears to be bug out when loading to a new map?-*Not true 720p, the framerate in battle scenes are choppy-Portrait cutouts have slight "haloing" around the edges-Music leaves a lot to be desired, sound effects are generally weak*Likely a limitation of the SRPG EngineStory\/Gameplay The story is your typical enemy invades the hero's homeland and conquers the territory with bloodshed. Nothing too new but let's get to our first "issue." Emperor David catches my eye as an oddball name. While it does have old lore behind it I still find it phonetically weird and clashing a bit with some other names. The dialogue is much what you would expect. It has a slightly upgraded vocabulary (no more dastard) but the **writing is not convincing. Rather it's a bit reminiscent of shadow dragon, being based off a 1980s story, which wasn't very good. The love interest and dialogue was incredibly vague. Gave us no reason to like her and quite frankly it just negatively affected my opinion of both of them. Moreso her since our hero has some redeeming qualities. The game plays like a tactical RPG, more accurately Fire Emblem. It's pretty faithful and it seems the majority of weapons\/items have infinite durability. That being said I do feel the movement of all units should be reduced by one space, everyone seems to move a bit too far. The map sizes, thus far, haven't been large at all, maps would need to be 1.3x screen size to feel "normal." The RNG is also unforgiving with weak character growths. Either it's close to some really old FE titles (Gaiden) or taking a page out of Berwick Saga. It'd also be great if we had more characters early on. Main character aside (who will get thrashed by magic) your units are rather squishy and I have to resort to forgotten\/new strategies to work around it. The last time I recall having such an awful comp was in Radiant Dawn. The low growth rates don't make the characters anymore likable. A certain character got no stat raises for over half her level ups (6), pretty awful and none were defense stats either which she desparately needed.Graphics and Sound The graphics seem to use a lot of default SRPG assets which are well made in their own right. The sprites in the battle scene reminds me of better GBA FE combat sprites. Animation effects are appropriate. Unfortunately the battle scene looks as if the framerate has been reduced... likely isn't the case but it is needlessly choppy for some reason. The game window is about 720p but with the notable black borders the usable resolution is lower. The amount of black space is beyond overscan. Toggling full-screen (F1) seems to cause problems if I load into a new map. Lastly the outline of character portraits are a bit awkward. As if they were ripped from a white background instead of an alpha channel. The audio is sorely lacking. The sound effects could use more oomph but are still serviceable. The music does not do the game any favors. Sometimes it's okay like the overworld theme but otherwise I dislike it.Most tracks seem amplified beyond normalized levels (introducing clipping) or added too much compression and then amplified. The classical music, while it makes sense, is rather off-putting. Feels too slow for the pace of battle and doesn't make the game any more immersive.ConclusionFor $0.99 I didn't know what to expect. It's also a "full game" on version 0.25 [at the time of writing] so that doesn't make much sense either. Most of the issues I came across are related to execution rather than the actual idea itself. I'm playing on normal+, while I don't mind it being arguably difficult I think it's that way for the wrong reasons. Anyways you could consider this "Review" a preview of what the game has to offer.**Delving into details would definitely bloat this otherwise lengthy "review"Updated 1800 EST: Clearer grammar. That \u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665in P O W E R P O I N T thoughsold.. My early review of the game sums it up like this:PROS: Interesting story, amazing music, various options, nice map designsCONS: Tutorial map has a bug in which you cannot heal your character despite message saying you can, cannot full screen the game, no Mac version.I highly recommend buying this game if you are interested in what SRPG Studio can do. This games serves as an excellent benchmark!. I sold some Steam cards for this, and man, what a deal that was! It might be the best deal in the history of deals, maybe ever.This game is an incredible value for its price. It plays just like Fire Emblem, and has top notch writing. The choice of classical music for the soundtrack is also really, really great and enhances the atmosphere quite a bit. The characters are also very well done and have good history and motivation.I haven't finished it yet, but so far the quality is outstanding. At the time of this review, I just finished Scenario 7.Yeah, I recommend this. Great game for an incredibly low price!. This is a tactical rpg that is constantly getting updates that fix issues and improve the quality of the game over time. It is similar to what you would expect from an SRPG studio game in the early game, with two chapters being outright copies of the maps from the sample game SRPG Studio gives you to experiment with. Later on, however, the game grows in quality and becomes an enjoyable experience.The only serious negative I have is towards the stats in the game. The game doesn't explain any of them and the only reason why I figured which ones influenced which is because I had a copy of SRPG Studio and played a ton of Fire Emblem.Overall, I like this game. For such a low price, you get a decent tactical rpg with multiple routes.. While this game is fun to play for a little bit I wanted to mention some of the good things and bad things. First the good things, the portraits are pretty good though there could be a few improvements but I won't nit pick too much on it. The gameplay is good at its core but I will get into somethings wrong with it later. The game runs well as something that people would expect. However, the problems that exist should and probably will be fixed over time as I just saw the recent review. The map design may be good in some areas but many maps have problems that can make the game unfun for some players. I personally feel that there are too few playable units in this game. like the other review legendary weapons should be a late game item not an early game one. The writing also has a few issues as in one moment the game tells us Abel's feelings towards Amy(that is her name if I am not mistaken) when it should be shown in dialogue between them in the opening of a stage. So make sure that there are not moments that tell the players something when it is better when it is shown. Though even with the issues it does have I still feel people should play this game.. Meh Its ok I guess? I would rather emulate Fire emblem 7 or 8 But this works. 6\/10.

Some ideas and new branching paths: Hi everyone,I know that I always say that I want to retire but I recently played a lot of JRPGs with a generation system and I thought that it would be nice to implement a path involving children of the characters.Here is my ideas:It involves the Path C where the cult of Brax wins, and I think it may be a little too dark even for my taste. Dark Abel enslaves and rapes girls (Ami, Rachel, etc.). Cain will be Abel's son, gameplaywise you will choose his mother, his stats and skills will depend of his mother. Issal and Sybil (which are siblings) will also have children (Sin and Blossom). Sarah will be Drazini's granddaughter and a light magic user. Finally David and Abigail's daughter will be Awan and also Cain main's love interest.Storywise, the children grew in the cult and developed a strong aversion for it. Especially Cain who have seen her mother defiled and violated at a young age. Drazini mastered the dark arts, found a time travel spell, but he strictly fordid its use. As you guess the children will use it to stop the cult of Brax and their parents even if it means that it will erase their existence.To be honest, I am busy right now and I have a lot of games to play so I guess it will have a very low priority but the game already feels complete.Regards,David N.. v0.97c!: Hi everyone!A gamer has streamed my game on youtube here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O67Smugga2kWatching him play I think my game may be a bit hard soI have made somes change on the difficulties:Normal+/Hard+: No changeNormal: you get the reanimate staff in scenario 14 which can revive one fallen ally.Very Easy/Easy/Normal/Hard: Easier scenario 15 as the AI has been changed (south force will only move once Brenda is defeated). Easier scenario 17 as the assassins and rangers squads have swaped their position and AI, assassins will only attack enemies in their range and it is also a lot easier to keep John alive if you want. Little edit: the extra menu has now contents (music, gallery, characters and glossary).I hope you enjoy the game! When I have enough sales I will make Steam Trading Cards too! Also Note that the cheapest price of the game will be 0.49$!Thank you for your support!David N.. Final version v1.00F and Kickstarter launch!: Hi everyone,I am very happy to say that the game is finally completed! Thank you for your patience! I will add the hardest difficulty later (that will be 9 difficulties!) and I will still update the game to check every little details but the game is fully playable and enjoyable!I am also excited to announce a kickstarter project to hire mangaka Rena Saiya for the game, here is the kickstarter page (and all the details):https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/davidnguyen104/clarent-tactics?ref=discovery_category_newestThank you for all your support!David Nguyen.. v0.99F released!: Hi everyone,the alternate path (chapter 41 to 57 + Bonus) has been playtested on normal and hard+, and has been balanced. You may find the balancing weird on some of these chapters, but at this point it is a matter of taste, of course constructive feedback is always appreciated! Hence the v0.99F release.I need to recheck the script and little details on these chapters for the v1.00F.I will add an inferno mode for v1.01F. Since the gameplay is done, I need to rewrite the steam guide. It will be a nice change of pace. I am also excited to say that a Kickstarter will be launched soon to hire professional artist and mangaka Rena Saiya. If it succeeds, she will redraw all the faces and a lot of CGs for the game. My previous game The Peloran Wars will also be removed from Steam due to the overall low quality. Still I don't regret making it since I learned a lot from this.Regards,David Nguyen.. Progress on a future update: Hi everyone,the progress on a future update will be really slow, there will be many gameplay adjustments to balance the game even further. In the current state, this game feels like an "honest" game but could be even better with more works put to it. And yes I will work on it until I am fully satisfied! Please don't wait for the final version because I don't know when it will be released and the game won't have major changes so the core of the game will remain the same.Thank you for your support and patience!David N.. progress and pointless talk...: Hi everyone,first the game is progressing well, I will make an update soon (v2.1) and it will only miss the path E and the modification of the alternate path A (so 6 maps). Once I am done I will name the final version v1.00F so stay tuned! I will also change the trailer to reflect the changes!I am quite excited by some news. The first one is the release of SRPG Studio in english on steam!https://store.steampowered.com/app/857320/SRPG_Studio/The software is awesome and I can't wait to see what kind of games people will make! I will make a steam review as soon as I get the software!The second one is the release in 2019 of Vestaria Saga in english on steam by Kaga himself!https://store.steampowered.com/app/694770/Vestaria_Saga/I played it in japanese and overall the game is very polished. I don't know japanese so I can't say much about the writing/scenario. But while I think that Kaga's games are a lot better than recents F♥♥♥ E♥♥♥♥♥ in term of characters/setting/writing. Kaga's approach to gameplay is so old fashioned and only aimed at hardcore gamers. In this day of modern gaming I think this is truly a mistake because you can make a hardcore yet accessible game at the same time, how? By proposing difficulties choices! But Vestaria Saga has none of it (though there is an option that gives you bonus stat for your characters). I was stuck and didn't finish it because the game was too hard and there is nothing more frustrating than that! Still I can't wait to play more Kaga's games!Thank you for your support,and I hope you enjoy the game,David Nguyen.. Another update and the end!?: Hi everyone,here is an update, the content are:- portrait of common enemies now has their battle sprite;- a line of description for important characters are in the character screen;- the skill Double Strike was bugged, it now works as intended and makes the game more balanced since it was useless in older version.- small adjustments here and there (a character has a new battle sprite).I haven't fully playtested it but since there are no major change, it should work and play well. Now concerning the ultimate difficulty "inferno". I still hesitate to add it since:- only half of the maps will be harder than the hard+ mode;- it will only appeal a very few gamer.I grow very tired of this project, I have tested it so many times that the experience become dull and annoying. The kickstarter is a failure and will be canceled. Finally there will be the return of the bundle of my two game! My previous game The Peloran Wars is heavily flawed and a bad game IMO but think of it is a "bonus prototype" to see the process to making Clarent Saga.I won't participate in future steam sales, if you want to play my game, by all means buy the bundle!I can't thank players enough for their kind encouragement and support,I had fun making games and I hope people will enjoy playing my games.So long,David Nguyen.. Plan for the future: Hi everyone,I will work on this game until I am fully satisfied, there are still room for improvement. So far, here is some ideas:maximum level 22 instead of 20true hit= display the true probabilityGameplay adjustment (M.Sword for Abel at the start, etc.)Script rewritingInferno modeF and G PathsRework Path BRework the endings More magicsAdd weapon rankTo improve my writing, I plan to thoroughly study Shakespeare works but that takes a lot of time. Overall, the story will be the same though.As I get back some motivation, this project will have a higher priority.Regards,David N.. Reply to a constructive review: Hi everyone,a steam user dislike my game and posted a really constructive review on imgur here: https://imgur.com/gallery/fHZo1qjI am really thankful for his detailed review and my reply is in the forum in the feedback section (since I can't reply on imgur). It has really helped me to improve the gameplay. The new update is also on the way with great news to come!Regards,David N.
