Ecol Tactics

  If you are a fan of Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem games where you control mercenaries or troops while fighting monsters and being able to earn items and gear to make you look like a badass then this game is for you!At first glance it looks kind of bland since you don't have any skills or any mercenaries to help you out but after the tutorial where you beat up a few thieves and are introduced to the game mechanics you begin to see that this game has much more promise!

  The available classes for you and your mercenaries are Archer,Priest,Mage,and Swordsman.Not much but as they level you can change them to two different classes.I didn't pay attention to Luke when he explained this but I am sure you will!Each class has skills that are devastating and visually stunning when used in combat.In order to obtain these skills you must first find a skill stone.You can also upgrade skills and uncover different skills from skill stone boxes you may find.This means you are not limited to one class and can play all the classes if you so wish!

  As you progress through the games main quests and try to join the ranks of the mercenaries you are introduced to each npc such as the weapon and armorsmiths and the potion npc.This will be of great help to any new players as this is a key part of not dying...no seriously.After doing all that you are finally allowed to speak to the head of the Mercenaries Guild Lucas...but call him Luke...he demands it.After a brief umm..."conversation" you are given a task...BATTLE LUKE!Not really...you simply kill two slimes then the game takes over and the fight is carried out by the game...I would have like to put an arrow between his eyes but I suppose this will do.
  After the "fight" with Luke you are finally granted permission to be part of the mercenaries guild!Yay!But first you have to recruit mercenaries so that you aren't such a loner!Who needs real friends right?Downside?It is completely random!Choosing which mercenaries you get is decided by a card game.You flip a card and that's what you get.You can have multiple goes at it but this will cost you gold or M-Tickets.It's not so bad though considering you could be forced to pay cash shop currency for better mercenaries.So enjoy this mini game that will decide your fate in battle!Nothing serious right?Hehe...

  All in all Ecol Tactics is a nice game and is highly addictive.I would recommend this game to anyone who is looking for something to pass the time while they are waiting for any other mmorpg to release.If you are feeling particularly lonely in this game feel free to drop me a message here on in game.My in game name is JesseAlzuriu and I'm on the second server.Take Care!
