About Mixed Unit Tactics
Mixed Unit Tactics is a strategy game in which you tactically command a mixed group of units. Use each of your units' unique strengths intelligently to efficiently dispatch your enemies.
Build Your Units
Your units' stats will grow depending on the equipment they use. All units can equip any of the 7 default weapon types, which include swords, axes, spears, bows, light tomes, dark tomes, and staves. They can also equip any of the 3 armor types to protect them from either magic damage, physical damage, or a bit of both. Drag and drop equipment in the pre-battle menu to change your units' equipment.
Want a unit to be a walking tank who hits like a truck? Equip them with a greataxe and heavy armor to maximize the rate at which their strength, HP, and defense grow as they level up. Just watch out for enemies wielding magic, and you'll be fine.
Not only do a unit's stats grow as they level up, so do their weapon ranks, allowing them to use stronger versions of a particular type of weapon. If a unit has a sufficiently high weapon rank in two different weapon types, they will be able to use hybrid weapons which have some unique traits.
Greatswords are a hybrid between swords and axes. They allow a unit to use a special type of attack that deals damage to up to 3 enemies at once.
Poleaxes are a hybrid between spears and axes. They do bonus damage to units wearing heavy armor, while maintaining the defensive bonuses all spears have.
Javelins are a hybrid between swords and spears. They can attack at distance, allowing your units to contend with other ranged weapon users.
Shadow Tomes are a hybrid between light and dark tomes. They heal the user for a percentage of the damage they deal.
Magic Bows are a hybrid between bows and staves. They allow a unit to deal magic damage at even longer ranges than they could with a tome.
Mounts
Throughout the game, you will acquire one of each of the three types of mounts. First is the Courser, which allows a unit to move 1 more tile per turn than the other two types of mounts. Next is the Pegasus, which allows a unit to fly over terrain that is normally impassable, as well as preventing them from being slowed down by rough terrain. Last is the eloquently named Heavy Horse, which help prevent its rider from being weighed down by heavy equipment.

This game has potential. I ran into one bug that caused a freeze but the Dev fixed it right away. For the meager price, if you want to get it and fool around with it and it is fun. I ask the Dev to please map the arrow keys like the WASD keys for map scrolling for us left-handed players, and he did right away. The play style is interesting. I think there is potential here for further development. Also, you do not have to survive with all of your troops per engagement, just reach the exit with at least one of them alive. There is no troop perma-death, your troopers show up alive for the next engagement. I assume the penalty for getting them killed is that they don't keep any more experience during that engagement and therefore do not advance as fast. Good luck to the Dev and future players.3 found this helpful
Definitely worth a play if you enjoy turned based strategy, specifically the fire emblem games. Just don't invest in Bianca.2 found this helpful
If you need your Fire Emblem itch scratched, this title will do it to some degree. I'll give the dev props for focusing on gameplay instead of silly things like dating simulators or unit relationships. This title is purely gameplay, with short cutscenes thrown in between some battles. Minimal animations, clear battle result info panels - the dev nailed the pure tactical aspects. Unfortunately the stupidity of RNG (95% misses, while enemies crit at 1%, anyone?) and fodder units (Jane, why do you even exist? Every NPC swordsman on the planet is better than you are, at EVERYTHING) also comes with it. You can mitigate the RNG, of course, through appropriate weapon and unit match-ups, but that doesn't guarantee anything, and you can still easily have a unit or two wiped because one person missed, or one enemy unit doubled on a 10% chance. Thankfully, the dev didn't add permadeath, and also handily added a 'restart battle' button in the Escape menu. Unthankfully, the 'restart battle' makes you watch the pre-battle cutscene every time, so you're often better off setting up your units at the start, beginning a battle, then just exiting to the main menu and loading your game. I do like the …1 found this helpful
What a grand adventure this game is. Its got heart and passion shown by a developer that listens to feedback and the community, patching the game and applying quality of life updates even after launch. If you got a few coins to spare I'd recommend picking up the game for a great deal of fun.1 found this helpful
