About Mercenaries Lament: Requiem of the Silver Wolf
A prayer for the fallen to rise from the depths of despair—
\
Mercenaries Lament is a tactical simulation RPG set in a fantasy world.
Battles occur on quarter-view maps with height differences, where character positioning in the front, back, and side of enemy units may very well determine each battle’s outcome.
Support effects depend on where allied characters in your party are positioned, allowing players to enjoy highly strategic maneuvers. Players have a high degree of freedom in character development, such as acquiring and strengthening skills and changing classes by using skill points earned in battle.
The characters are beautifully drawn with rich facial expressions by the illustrator Sakura Mochi!
・Advent Soul
When Amalie, the heroine is in your party, you can fill a gauge on the top right of the screen which will allow you to stock 1 BP when full.
(Up to 9 BP can be stocked up.)
By using BP characters can enter a state called "Advent Soul" which fortifies the character for a certain period of time.
The character can then use "Advent attacks" with other party members and "Soul Exceed" skills, which are special moves.
・Advent attacks
When a character in “Advent mode” is positioned to sandwich an enemy with another ally, a coordinated attack can be unleashed by performing a normal attack or attack skill.
The Advent attacks are unique skills for each character and provide a chance to inflict heavy damage.
・Soul Exceed skills
Units in Advent mode can use Soul Exceed skills at any time.
This special move is unique to each character, and effects vary from inflicting immense damage to the enemy to recovering HP and abnormalities of all allies.
(Once Soul Exceed is used, the character's Advent mode will be lifted.)
Utilizing Soul Exceed skills are the key to victory!
・Orbs with hidden power
There are mysterious "Orbs" that can be obtained from story progression, specific locations, and certain enemies.
There are 13 Orbs in total scattered throughout the game.
You can check the status of your collection on a dedicated screen and equip your character with them as accessories.
What will happen when all the Orbs are collected?

Several years have passed since a mysterious disease with no cure quickly spread across the continent.
Those infected would suffer a horrible fate of turning into zombies after their death, mindlessly attacking the living. It has become the norm for hired mercenaries to spend countless days clearing the lands of the undead.
Such a mercenary is Johann, captain of the Silver Wolf Mercenary Company. He is paid a visit by the Grim Reaper, and narrowly escapes its blade of death, but the Reaper leaves him with an eerie prophecy: "In the next 100 days, your luck shall run out. That shall be the day of your fate.”
After awaking from a delirious slumber, he is met by a young woman with miraculous powers that can heal people from the disease.
Was his encounter with the Grim Reaper but a nightmare....?
Regardless, Johann offers to protect the miracle worker on her travels to save as many people as she can. They set out on a journey to travel the kingdom, curing the infected.
Soon, however, Johann must confront his mortality…

This is a very bad game. I'll start by saying it has a mixed review for a reason, and it should honestly be ranked far lower. First of all, story: there basically isn't one. There's very bare bones generic fantasy plot beats and nothing beyond that. Every character is a common archetype (valiant hero that only does good, himbo airhead womanizer friend, wholesome innocent cleric girl, ect.). Between each map, you get about maybe 10 lines of dialog between characters, then you go back to the main menu. If you don't like story, hey, that's awesome, but most tactics games like Fire Emblem/Triangle Strategy tend to tell decent to really good stories, so for me, it's yet another let down. Aside from the very mid story, let's get into the gameplay. I'll begin by saying there are many, many mistakes. Most enemies have an attack with at least 4 range, so you're basically always in range of enemy attacks. If you can hit them, rest assured, multiple of them can hit you. In the same vein, virtually every enemy has more health than you, and by the mid to late game, each enemy often has double/triple your highest character's health. It takes maybe one or two attacks for them to kill one of your…75 found this helpful
How in the ♥♥♥♥ do you actually kill the goddess? Ive killed her 10 times and she keeps coming back to life. This game has some seriously irritating fights and is just a carbon copy of previous games2 found this helpful
I really enjoyed this game! I was looking for something to scratch that Final Fantasy Tactics itch and this game did just that. This was my first Mercenaries game so I can't comment on how similar it is to previous entries. Also, this game isn't as polished or deep as Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre: Reborn. If you haven't played those games look there first. I did enjoy this more than Triangle Strategy but that could just be my personal preference. Triangle Strategy had a deep story, tons of dialogue and some basic exploration and I wanted more of a straight forward experience centered around combat. Mercenaries Lament has a basic story and a basic story choice but I felt a deeper combat system than Triangle Strategy. You will be presented with a menu for managing your party, a shop and a map screen that allows you to pick a 'story' battle to progress the game or 'free' battle to grind. Free battles will give you items as a reward upon first completion incentivizing you to complete all of them. The shop has a basic crafting system that I enjoyed as well. When it's all said and done you'll have a party of 8 characters that each have two class paths. An example w…2 found this helpful
