Out at midnight: Tactics Maiden is a fast-paced SRPG that focuses on flexible character builds

Mangobile's Tactics Maiden seems to scratch the same itch that the studio's previous SRPG, Kingturn RPG Plus, did.

We called Kingturn "generic but accessible", and added that it won't make you care for your characters, but it might "scratch your SRPG itch".

Yep, the more I find out about Tactics Maiden, the more I'm convinced it will also fit that summary.

Mangobile calls it a fast-paced turn-based strategy RPG set in a medieval fantasy world. There's no mention of any story or anything to spice the game up a little.

Instead, Mangobile focuses on the intricacies of the game's battles, in which you aim to quite simply eliminate every enemy outpost.

Its biggest strength is apparently the "enemy AI and flexible character builds". You're able to, and probably required to, customise your character's stats, items, and gear before each battle.

There are over 85 scenarios to get through, with 36 unique character classes, and over 70 special skills to master in Tactics Maiden.

The game even has five difficulty settings that you can flick between in mid-game - catering to novices and veterans of the genre.

If you're a big fan of SRPGs and fiddling with stats it's probably worth a look.

Tactics Maiden will be available to download for free on the UK and US App Stores at midnight.

It's already out on Google Play [download], so if you're an Android player, go give it a look.
