How different to mobile version?

[Mark]

I got bored playing the Android version. Will this be very different to the mobile version? I got to level 44 on the mobile version and not sure why I lost interest...I guess it got too grindy or it felt like I had to pay to make any kind of further progress.

Very different. I copy over my answer to the same question from another thread:

"This is a remake of the original Langrisser 1+2 for Mega Drive/Super Nes.

Each contains about 60 scenarios with different story paths you can follow ( Light, Empire, Chaos, Independant) and so on.

The mobile version only had super simplified maps of some of these scenarios.
This remake also uses the correct battle system of the classic games with your characters each having up to 8 separate soldier squads to control on the map.
So the scale of the battles and maps is much bigger. You also need a lot longer for a single scenario then in the simple mobile version.

Here is a video of the first stage in Langrisser 1.

simply this is a real Turn based strategy game with big maps, story and mechanics.

It's big and it's great (at least it's original is). No random chances for heroes or microtransactions either.

That sounds great! Thank you both for your answers :-)

The original game is very challenging if you don't jump chapters, I still remember my first playthrough got stuck at scenario 14.
The mobile one I got tired quickly before level 30 last year, that's my first mobile game, I got interested only for the beautiful portraits of those familiar characters.

is that an honest question?

On this. Period.

or rather do not spend 50 bucks on any mobile ♥♥♥♥.

I played the mobile version for a while. The game mechanics are dumbed down by alot

Just go with Langrisser 1 & 2. Old school games weren't designed to parasitically drain your wallet into a emaciated husk.

Actually, 50$ is roughly what I spent on the mobile game.
That is 5 months of purchasing the 3 privilege packs. These are enough to make your account "semi competitive":
You still won't be on par with the big spenders, but the handicap will be minimal.
The main difference is that you won't have much flexibility (you cannot afford to upgrade that many heroes).
Overall, the mobile game is more generous than its competition (I got 17 of the 41 SSR characters after 5 months with the privilege packs), but the grind can get quite tedious, and 10$/month is quite a lot, because the game you get is still not on par with what we used to have for subscription based MMORPG.

What I liked about the mobile version was to have coop and PvP, but that too turned into "work" (as you are kind of "expected" to grind in a guild).

Basically, 5€ = 1500 crystals (if taking the privilege monthly crystal pack), and you need on average 4500 to get an SSR character (ie: one of the best).
So 50€ will only give you 5 or so extra characters on the mobile version (which is significant, actually, but not steallr).

So I'd say they are better spent here :)

This is a remake of the Saturn/PSX/PC versions. It uses a combat system very similar to the mobile game. If you're looking for challenge I recommend to play the original games.

Anyone know of any similar games to this?

I enjoyed the game play of the mobile, but was really turned off by the gacha/micro transactions and 4hr daily requirements. The PC port seems to have tons of issues (and is $50 for some reason) - Also: why are the sprites so much better on mobile? For $50 I expect a bit better quality graphics. I see potential here, but I'm not sure it's worth $50

The mobile client on PC has mouse support, though...
Is it still off the table for the Steam remake?
