If you’ve read any of my previous reviews for games in the genre, you’ll know that I enjoy turn based strategy role-playing games. I’ve played and loved playing games like Final Fantasy Tactics (and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance) in the past, and more recently games like Fire Emblem Fates or Mercenaries Saga 2. So when I learned that Circle was making a spin off of Witch & Hero in this genre I jumped at the chance to check it out.
Ambition of the Slimes is a great molding of the two. The game is very much a strategic role-playing game that also borrows a lot from the simplistic spirit of the Witch & Hero games. It is a very simple game to play, with a lot of the depth left out of the game. You don’t buy weapons, armour, or upgrades. But that lack of depth actually allows for an entirely different level of depth.
