About Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix
“Mercenaries Wings” is a tactical simulation RPG where you level up, equip and command a group of mercenaries to fight through the stages.
Character design is by the illustrator Raita Kazama, who has spared no effort in detail to make each character expressive and alive.
【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.
・A new “Leader Skill” function has been added. Depending on the leader you choose for each battle, you will be able to gain special effects unique to the character to help your team. For example, you could choose a leader that increases movement range for wide maps, or a leader that increases the HP of ally units for melee intensive fights. Choosing the appropriate leader for each fight could make or break the battle.
・The story has a multi-ending. Your choices directly impact the fate of your team.
・The extra difficult “EX stages”are sure to satisfy even the most skilled strategy experts.
【The Story】
Situated on the northern continent lies the Kingdom of Dryden, a constitutional monarchy and sovereign nation.
It is said that a hero, blessed by the Phoenix, cut through over 1000 foes to establish the kingdom.
As if personifying that violent legend, the current king, Harold, has been warring with neighboring countries ever since he ascended to the throne ten years prior.
The desolation caused by continuous conflict has caused dissatisfaction to peak among the populace.
They now rise up, led by one Earl Iscariot.
One day, when the Royal Army was invading another state, his Rebel Army attacked the under-manned Royal Castle and captured it.
And so the Kingdom of Dryden now finds itself caught between a civil war from within, and war with the neighboring Collingwood.
King Harold, unable to move his army away from the Collingwood frontlines, decided to hire mercenaries to be his army in fighting against the rebels.
One of the first mercenary bands to respond to the call was the Crimson Birds.
This up-and-coming band is led by their commander, Kane the Crimson Flash, and vice-commander, Jeremy the Phoenix.

After completing the first two in this series to basically ng+ and the previous iteration being almost exactly the same as the first. I am failing to see any difference between this one and the other two. I searched on google for an answer and all I can find is this one adds a leader function to the game. Thats it. Aside from that its the same leveling system, same classes, same skills, same items, slightly different maps and story. Talk about milking it. I dont get why they havent added anything in two games Upon further digging, this isnt even the more recent version. They gave it a random name so you cant tell this game was released two games ago.22 found this helpful
[b]TL; DR[/b] If you like the other titles, you will likely enjoy [i]Mercenaries (4) Wings[/i] as well. It changed little in terms of mechanics, but it does have major changes in its presentation, some of that is better and other things are worse, which is fitting since the same can be said for the quality of the game. My actual issues with the game are unrelated to the gameplay, so if you only care about that then I guess this would be a recommendation. [b]Note[/b] keyboard only [h1] Story [/h1] The kingdom is in yet another war, and now it is swarming with rebels. The Crimson Birds are one of many companies hired to assist the monarchy, but King Harold might not be as noble as they thought, not only are their pays delayed but when they get them, they are less than what they would like. As if that was not bad enough, the King decides to give mercenaries the right to plunder liberated towns something that goes against the morals of a mercenary, apparently. Does he really deserve your loyalty? The premise is about as interesting as previous titles, a few hooks and some engaging ideas but not executed as well as I had hoped. They are definitely more ambitious with [i]the False …11 found this helpful
Good game
I played Mercenaries Blaze and Mercenaries Rebirth and liked them well enough. The writing and graphics hit their stride at that point, whereas this game and the first three are just too rough. The plots are not involved enough, the characters are flat and the animations are rough. The art style of the character portraits is nice and some of the music is good. I think I'll skip the rest of this one and try Mercenaries Lament instead.
Same as with their other games, they deliver what they promise. Standard but well done Turn based games. That said I have one specific problem with this game, having played it before on switch. Many of their games have multiple routes, so does this one. It's just that this one is less multiple routes but more of a good and bad route. And the game pretty much tricks you into going for the bad route first, so you would want to replay to actually get the good route. See, you can at one point decide to keep working for the kingdom or leave. Leaving really seems like the more sensible thing. If you do that, you are on the bad route. Both routes more or less manage to resolve the conflict in the end, but on the first route an extremely important character dies, which they don't if you stay. Now, if you do not mind spoiler, do read ahead. Jeremy is one of the two protagonists, the coolest character in the party and the love interest for the other protagonist (well, it is more like she has a huge crush on him while he sees her as a sister, but in the good end they do marry). If you leave the kingdom, he straight up dies. Considering that one of the protagonists literally di…
it's need improvement - for new gamer, probably need info about HIT, AGI, DEX, INT etc point information, what kind affect to the character? - on free battle, there stage list named "Dungeion of Trials" est LV, it's kind a hard, any tips to conquer it? - CMIIW if character do self skill(not to do enemy) it's got 10 experiences. if fight to enemy or get kill, got 2 experiences. i think i can grind leveling without fighting enemy by do self skill. is it logic bug or... idk is bug or the system. - in game, i own 9 "magic box" . the inventory is limited by 10, it's better 1 magic box = add 10 inventories, 9 magic boxes = add 90 inventories
