Fuga: Melodies of Steel

Fuga: Melodies of Steel is a uniquely emotional and strategically engaging tactical RPG that tells the poignant story of a group of children caught in the turmoil of war. Set in a war-torn world inspired by historical conflicts but with a fantasy twist, the game masterfully balances heartfelt narrative moments with challenging, turn-based combat. What truly sets Fuga apart is its ability to blend the innocence and resilience of childhood with the harsh realities of survival, creating a deeply affecting experience that resonates beyond typical strategy games. The gameplay centers on commanding a small squad of children as they navigate battlefields aboard a massive, tank-like war machine known as the Taranis. Combat takes place on grid-based maps where positioning, unit abilities, and environmental factors play critical roles.

Peak in the form of cute kids trying to save the world in a giga tank by killing a fascist empire that invades their land.

Save file system is broken. Literally unplayable.

The world building and the atmosphere in this game is A++ The game plays like a JRPG, and the combat feels in depth enough to keep me on my toes. And if you're having a rough time, one specific option will always tempt you but it has irreversible consequences.

damn... i slept on this series. this game good af

Good graphic and story. But the controls(no key binding) are no good. Still worth to buy on sales.
