Insignia: Tactics 9+

I’m not sure why more people aren’t playing this game. It is very nearly flawless, and legitimately one of the best games I’ve ever played on a mobile device. Quite literally my only complaint is that, while none of the combat animations are too long in and of themselves, the fact that there is no way to skip them - along with the fact that you have to watch the computer’s turns - makes the battles take longer than I’d like them to. Ideally there would be a way to either speed things up or just skip to the end of the NPC’s turns. But, again, aside from that one (fairly minor) gripe, this game is truly excellent. I just hope the developers are able to make enough money to continue making games!

Thank you for your review and for the providing some very insightful feedback. We really appreciate it! We've got some fun things in the works for Insignia so we're always on the lookout for ways to improve the game.

If you love Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics, you will love this game. The core gameplay is spot on turn-based, multi-role tactical gameplay and delivers exactly what you’d expect from such a game. No need to improve on perfection, right?

Even the story is fun, not the usual paint-by-numbers affairs you get from so many mobile RPGs.

However, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the one blemish on what is otherwise a pristine gaming experience: the graphics. In a word, they’re terrible. Like a 6-year-old drew them.

So, why 5 stars then? Because the gameplay is strong enough that it’s worth looking past the ugly graphics. It really is that good. Having said that, I can only imagine how much more awesome this game would be if the developer hired a professional artist and redid the visuals. Seriously, it’d be worth it as I’m sure with a sharp UI you’d attract a much larger audience - not just tactics nerds like me.

If you guys decide to update the look of your game, do a Kickstarter to fund it. I’ll contribute for sure!

Thank you for writing a review! Your compliments and critiques are important to us, and we appreciate the feedback. We will continue to explore ways to make Insignia even better!

Reminiscent of Final Fantasy Tactics without being a clone, battles are high quality, positioning actually matters, AI mages really will punish you for grouping up, customization system makes you think hard about what skills to learn before the next battle — GET THIS GAME.

(This review would be longer and more detailed, but the App Store ate my first review…)

Thank you for playing and for taking the time to write a review! Sorry to hear about the first review though - we understand that this thing sometimes gets hungry and devours things. :D
