Arc the Lad R (ｱｰｸｻﾞﾗｯﾄﾞR) is an RPG that forms part of the "Arc the Lad" saga, with this being the first installment to make it to mobile devices. It's a strategy RPG that follows the events that occurred in Arc the Lad II, the classic RPG that appeared on PlayStation back in 1996.
The gameplay in Arc the Lad R is divided primarily into two very different fields: scenes with dialogue where you'll advance in the campaign mode story, and the battles against enemies. While in the scenes with text, all you can do is read the events from the world of Arc the Lad, in the combats, you get to really heat things up.
The battles are turn-based and take place on grid-based settings. It's a really natural system for touchscreen devices that lets you move your characters, attack, or complete special actions. It's essential to put together a good team since there are certain synergies between your heroes that will let them carry out more powerful attacks.
Arc the Lad R is a fantastic RPG that brings back the magic from a beloved saga. It's a title with great graphics that uses a "Super Deformed" design for all its characters. Plus, among the charismatic characters, you'll find old familiar faces along with new heroes exclusive to this new game.
