A turn based tactical role playing game, FEA has you control several characters on a grid in tactically sound positions in order to attack the opposing side until all enemy characters have been taken care of.
The title features more a more heavily customizable “Avatar” system, where the player can create his own playable character to fight alongside the less flexible characters encountered along the way.
The game has also been critically acclaimed in both the western and the eastern market, while also having a huge reputation of an addictive timesink.
