These are the features of Redemption Reapers?
Deep tactics gameplay
Redemption Reapers uses a classic turn-based strategy system. Alternately, it is your heroes” turn and then the turn of the enemy monsters. Performing actions costs you action points (AP), which are renewed every round. You always have to weigh up carefully what you want to do in your turn and whether you still have enough AP left to smash a disgusting Mort monster on the chopping block.
To make the gameplay even more exciting and challenging, you can combine your skills tactically. For example, it makes sense to fence side by side with another hero and then provide their coming attack with a special synergy effect. Under certain conditions, the heroes even have special skills that can sometimes be decisive for the game.
Because in Redemption Reapers you are almost always at a disadvantage. The enemy is numerous and ferocious. If you want to stand up to the grotesque monstrosities with their long grasping arms, you have to outmanoeuvre the beasts, lure them into ambushes and separate them from their comrades. Then you can unleash the full power of your skills and combos to succeed in the tricky missions.
So if you”re looking for a deep and tactically challenging game, Redemption Reapers will be pure joy.
Role-playing elements for character optimisation
The five members of your mercenary troop are not static 08-15 soldiers, but unique personalities with their own story. They develop in the course of the game and the characters also interact with each other. After each mission, the story of the game continues as well as the individual character development of the Ash Hawk warriors.
The game characters do not only develop in the story aspect. Rather, they level up – like in a role-playing game – between missions and thus learn new and better skills. Depending on your wishes, you can further develop certain aspects of the heroes and optimise their stats and combat skills.
In addition, there are various items of equipment, including weapons and accessories. With these, your heroes can be further specialised and upgraded. So if you like role-playing games with exciting stories, personal histories and a system for character development, you won”t go wrong with Redemption Reapers.
