【About the Game】
・Command your units on a quarter-view battle map and bring them to victory!
・Unit positions will affect Action results in battle. Whether your units are positioned in the, front, back, or side of the enemy, and whether they are on higher ground compared to the target are all taken into factor how effective their actions will be.
・Spend Skill Points (SP) to change character classes! By leveling up your character, they will be able to unlock Intermediate and Advanced job classes. Each class has its own set of skills you can learn.
Special classes can only be unlocked by using certain items.
Build your own balanced team!
・Spend SP to learn new skills! Depending on the class you choose, your characters will be able to learn skills that can heal or buff allies, and debuff or inflict status abnormalities to your enemies.
・Characters that use magic can “Summon” sprites and golems. These special unitscan be commanded like any other unit in your team. Make the most of them!
・Characters have “Aggro” levels which make them susceptible to enemy attacks. TThese levels will rise whenever they make an action like dealing the finishing blow, or healing allies. Some skills purposely raise Aggro levels or summon units with high Aggro levels. Expand your tactics by utilizing Aggro in your strategy.
・The extra difficult “EX stages”are sure to satisfy even the most skilled strategy experts.
【The Story】
Long ago there were two continents,split into north and south by a large ocean.
These two continents under went vastly different development.
In the north continent, the Flare Kingdom, with their advanced industry and powerful military background, expanded their sphere of influence.
They annexed neighbouring states until the entire north continent was under their control.
On the other hand, the tribes of the Kirialos country in the southern continent were at constant war over their plentiful resources.
Having achieved domination of their own continent, the Flare Kingdom set their sights on Kirialos's resources.
The Flare Kingdom intervened in the wars on the south continent in the name of peacekeeping, but took complete control in the blink of an eye.
The Flare Kingdom set up a puppet government in Kirialos, whilst syphoning the wealth obtained from its resources back to their own continent.
That's when the "Liberation Army" appeared - it's sights set on overthrowing the Kingdom and its puppet government.
To deal with this uprising, the Kingdom set up a local ministry of war.
The name of the Kingdom's foreign campaign regiment was "Coronea"―
The mercenaries who joined this unit, be it for money, fame or honor, became known as the "Kingdom's Dogs".
This is the story of the smallest, most insignificant mercenary company among them, dubbed the “Kingdom’s dogs”: The Gray Wolves mercenaries.
It is the third game of the Mercenaries Saga.

✦ AI summary
Players praise Mercenaries Saga 3 as an engaging tactical strategy RPG with solid gameplay mechanics, appealing pixel art, and good replayability through New Game Plus, comparing it favorably to Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics. However, the main criticism is that the game prioritizes combat over storytelling, resulting in weak narrative, forgettable characters, and confusing plot progression, along with the absence of mouse controls and minimal character development compared to other entries in the series.
[b]TL; DR[/b] [i]Mercenaries Saga 3[/i] is good but some of the time it is simply alright. In general, it is the same as its predecessors, but it has some nice encounters and is likely my favourite out of the Saga Trilogy. [b]Note[/b] No mouse controls, and while the story is its own thing it does features characters and places from previous titles. [h1] Story [/h1] The northern continent was unified, and this seemingly all-powerful imperialist nation set their sight on the south, they conquered, established a puppet regime, and came to be embroiled in a struggle against the local resistance, the Liberation Army. You, and the mercenaries of the Gray Wolves, are employed by the occupiers and do as you are told to maintain their hegemony, even though you know they have little respect for you. I find that this set up is very interesting it could go a lot of ways and can be used to tell a nuanced and very engaging story. However, if you've played other [i]Mercenaries[/i] games you will know that their plots are typically simple and on the straightforward side, it is disappointing. I keep finding myself wishing that these games would interrogate their premises more but as always tha…4 found this helpful
If you like classic Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics Advance style strategy RPGs this series is a fun time sink. Fun gameplay loop, new game + where you can keep leveling your characters and unlocking classes. Gameboy Advance style pixel graphics look great. Biggest con of this game but the series as a whole is almost nonexistent plot and characters. I'm at 12 hrs right now and couldn't tell you a name of a character or whats going on. Half translation issue, half weak writing "staff" (probably 1 guy), but this game is very combat focused so they didn't put their resources there in the first place. Also less anime titty than Mercenaries Wings and I DONT LIKE THAT1 found this helpful
