symphony of war vs fell seal

[heime2003]

which one is a better game?

[y04egana]

Honestly loved them both.
Fell seal is more like Final fantasy tactics.
Whereas this is more Fire emblem but with individual units formed together to make squads.
(there's probably a more similar game than fire emblem but I haven't played any so can't say)

So it depends what you want from the game.

Yeah these games aren't similar enough to really compare apples to apples.
This game is more gradual strategy and fellseal is more like FF Tactics, where you string together OP skill combos and just delete everything in one attack. I like both games but in FS once you grind a few characters into the godlike realm and try the 5-6 delete combos, it was kinda boring. This game is more like reading a good book. Yeah, the story doesn't change, but you can have vastly different armies each playthrough.

It's more so Ogre Battle / Fire Emblem

Fell Seal is a more 'professional' game (higher production values etc). SoW is more 'indy'; that isn't a judgement either way but maybe gives you an idea of what to expect.

FS is....very Final Fantasy Tactics, gameplay wise. Which isn't a bad thing (it's basically the genre defining game), but it doesn't feel very innovative. It makes some changes, but there's definitely choices that I think hold it back from really being a home run. But, what it does, it does well. Also, I'd highly suggest getting the DLC for it as well; it helps add a bit of spice that was missing from the base game,

SoW feels more unique, though admittedly I haven't played a lot of Ogre Battle so maybe that's just a lack of context. However as mentioned it's a lot more indy; that has it's own charms but may not be what you're looking for.

Fell Seal - I'm slogging through this , Fell Seal has more replay value.

[Dogtatokun]

I enjoyed them both, but they're very different games. Fell Seal has a bit more longevity and has the best difficulty customization of any game I've played. I'd give the edge to it if you like the "build up your units and builds" kind of game. Symphony is closer to an older Fire Emblem. Everything is well balanced, you're more limited in customization (but there's still a lot). Overall it's just a grander scale approach to battle.

This is like Langrisser and Ogre Battle. Gotta love it.

Just buy both, cant go wrong

[Rya.Reisender]

Both about the same for me. Both games had a bit too much management in between battles for my taste, but were otherwise quite good.

Maybe Symphony of War is slightly more fun to play, because the controls feel smoother.

I tried Fell Seal, but really struggled with it. There was something wrong with the first battle, and the balance was completely shafted.

Also the lack of AOO means that the enemy just walks around to your rear and hits you there for more damage, andthere is nothing you can do about it.

I personally like this. Fell Seal was Ok. I enjoyed it a lot at first, but it ended up running dry for me about mid-game. This one had me very interested until the end.

I can't get over how every character model has a stiff wooden mannequin posture in Fell Seal.
