About This Game A new type of tactical RPG title that flips the script! Slimes, the weakest of RPG enemies, have the ability to take over enemy units and fight![Summary]This is a strategic turn-based RPG, but it is Slimes that you control. Slimes can take over an enemy and control them in battle.For example, a Slime can utilise archers, or use magic if they take over a magician. They can even bewilder an enemy with a bribe if they take over a merchant.In addition there are various kinds of Slimes:Some of them can warp.Some of them can improve the abilities of the possessed enemy.And many more...Each stage poses key strategic questions. Which Slime will you use on each enemy? How will you take them over?For example the element of a Slime is very important for a capture. This is a tough game, too, so you cannot win by charging in recklessly - tactics are vital.The appearance of this game may be lighthearted, but a big challenge awaits![STORY]The world was about to be ruined.The brutal humans arrived and almost took over the whole world.They burnt the forest, polluting the water and the sky.They were tyrannical, almost ruining the land.And they threatened the Slimes that offered little resistance; they did not have great power and merely waited for extinction.Then the Slimes realised they could take over the human bodies and use that strength against their enemies.The Slime counterattack began. 7aa9394dea Title: Ambition of the SlimesGenre: Indie, RPG, Simulation, StrategyDeveloper:altairworksPublisher:Flyhigh Works, CIRCLE EntertainmentRelease Date: 15 Feb, 2018 Ambition Of The Slimes Reset Key This is more of if you miss FFTactics and like games to kick you in the teeth constantly. Your always at a disadvantage. your capture is neat but it takes your turn. if your not careful the mob you take will be dead the same turn you take it. For it's price it's FFtactics lite.. Why you game What Ugrade up ST and DF and HP? Where Update not like Im dead Where Slime :(. Why you game What Ugrade up ST and DF and HP? Where Update not like Im dead Where Slime :(.

Your always at a disadvantage. your capture is neat but it takes your turn. if your not careful the mob you take will be dead the same turn you take it. For it's price it's FFtactics lite.. The first thing you should know about Ambition of the Slimes if you are considering picking it up is that although it is a strategy RPG, the emphasis is much more on the "strategy" than the "RPG". Grinding will only help you so much; far more important is choosing the right slimes and making the right moves. If this sounds too stressful, then you may want to seek out another game (however, please note that there is an Easy difficulty which I didn't touch-- I stuck with Normal, plus replayed some levels on Hard and did a few Challenges-- so YMMV).On the other hand, if a strategy-heavy RPG sounds appealing, then you may like Ambition of the Slimes. The core mechanic is guiding your physically weak slimes over to enemy humans and taking them over. The comical animation for this possession never gets old, and a lot of the fun comes in figuring out the best ways to get the strongest human units on your side. Each type of slime has a special attribute or ability, ranging from teleportation to high defense. Some abilities, like Melt, temporarily weaken its target and makes them easier to possess. As mentioned before, figuring out the right strategy for each stage is extremely important, and although I restarted many maps multiple times to try out different approaches, I never felt that the game was unfair.The game's story, set in a fantasy world where slimes have suddenly gained this new possession ability and are now on a rampage, is fairly light and entertaining for what it is. The graphics and music have the same sort of fun retro aesthetic featured in other games published by Flyhigh Works, and the controls and UI are well designed and easy to understand, for the most part.My nitpicks are few. The battle art for the humans tends to be samey-- most of them are some variation on either "Skinny Guy" or "Fanservice Gal". Also, there could've been a little more variety in the music, the localization is sometimes clunky, and the ending could've been better.Still, in the end, none of these put much of a damper on my overall enjoyment of this game. Fans of strategy games and\/or quirky Japanese indie stuff should find a lot to like here.. This is a great RPG game that has a intriguing "capture" mechanic that allows for a large variation of the traditional turn based RPG genre. I will update more as I continue to play, but felt like the game needed some positive reviews for its fun content..
