• Unite with your chosen heroine and use the “Soul Breed” system to shape the fate of the next generation of heroes

Agarest: Generations of War - Exclusive game features!


Agarest: Generations of War includes many unique features that cannot be found in any other Strategy Role Playing Game. Here's a summary of some of the best:

Extended Area

Extended Area is the "Linked Area" set for both your party and your enemies. Each character in the game has a uniquely shaped extended area. When a character's turn comes around, all other characters in the Extended Area of the character in play (and characters in the extended areas of those characters!) can combine in an extended attack. This allows you to chain your party's attacks together, allowing access to more Arts and huge Combos!

Blacksmith's Guild
You can upgrade various Items and Equipment at the Blacksmith's Guild in two different ways:

By Enhancement: You can enhance equipment to a maximum of Level 5. Once an Item is enhanced to Level 5, you can convert the Item, changing it into something else. This process is irreversible and the original item is lost. Experimentation reveals some great new items!

Through Alchemy: Alchemy allows you to combine several items to create a single, more powerful piece of equipment. While you lose the items used in the alchemy, you gain a powerful new piece of equipment and permanent access to your new item in the Shop! Alchemy can create powerful new weapons and armour but occasionally a Smithing Accident will occur and the smith will create a different item than what you expected!

The "Soul Breed" system
Agarest takes place across 5 generations of heroes, starting with your first character, Leonhardt. During each generation you will build relationships with 3 different female party members, and at the end of each generation's story arc you must choose to marry one of the girls.

Your choice of marriage partner is restricted to girls who've grown fond of you over a particular generation. Your options are determined by your choices during conversations at certain points of the story.

The girl you choose as your wife - and the strength of their relationship with you - will determine the abilities of the main character in the next generation of the story. You'll have to experience multiple play throughs to see all of the character possibilities open to you! What heroes might you create?

✦ AI summary

Agarest: Generations of War is a tactical RPG with an interesting premise, charming 2D sprites, and engaging combat systems that some players find rewarding, though others feel the depth is overwhelming and poorly explained. The main complaints center on tediously slow battles that drag out grinding segments, repetitive combat encounters that overshadow story moments, poor AI auto-battle performance, and aggressive pay-to-win DLC practices that can trivialize early game difficulty.

Not recommended Aug 25, 2026
the problem with this game lies in its length and boring combat system. the combat system is super deep. like to the point where it might be too deep. it drip feeds you how to play the game but also leaves a lot out. the grinding sucks due to the fact the battles are so slow. i started my game with the dlc for better gear that basically one shots early game enemies and even with that those encounters could still last more than a minute. so imagine if i didnt have that gear and needed to grind some in the early game. i'd probably hang myself

[b]Merits:[/b] ▪ Unique and interesting premise ▪ Cute 2D sprites and animations ▪ Fully voiced in Japanese ▪ Equipped weapon shows up on characters ▪ Auto battle, fast forward and skip options to speed things up ▪ New Game+ [b]Flaws:[/b] ▪ Low resolution assets end up blurry in full screen ▪ Fights get tedious and repetitive ▪ Pay-to-win DLCs [b]Verdict:[/b] This game is a mixture of Disgaea, Final Fantasy Tactics and a Visual Novel. The concept is great, the combat is fun at first but the writing is mediocre and it takes a lot of battles to get to the story bits. The effort required is too much for what reward it offers and ultimately it overstays its welcome. Despite not scaling well, the game looks great at the appropriate resolution, such as a handheld. On a 2K monitor I recommend playing it Windowed 648p for best experience, preferably with a CRT ReShade filter. [b]Rating:[/b] ★★★☆☆ - Above Average

A descent tactical RPG, same almost everything to spectral souls (which i love), except that battle is turn based. In spectral souls if you were faster enough you could get multiple turns in, but not this game unfortunately. The AI for autobattle is absolutely horrible!!! The only time my characters seem to die is when i let AI grind a stage for me, and it also unleashes absolutely every possible attach on one enemy, overkilling it many times over for some reason. I dont know why when you start, it unloads tons of top level gear on you, likely from DLC's or something, doesnt even give you an option. You dont have to use it, i sold all that i could, but now im rich in the game, kinda wish they would have given me the option to collect the gear and items, ruins aspects of the game right out of the gate. I got the game on sale for $4 so cant complain too much, im already like 10hrs in or so. Game will also unlock features in the shop and not tell you, so you gotta keep an eye out for that.

I just completed the second generation out of five and it feels pretty good to play so far... The combat animations are way smoother than I expected, the gameplay feels nice, the music is good and I like the characters...

Rare good game. Needs patience. Combat a bit slow.
