In a land ruled by might and magic, peace is ensured by the benevolent power of the crystals. When a young moogle charged with guarding these crystals learns of an evil presence gathering on the horizon, he calls upon heroes from the far corners of the realm to join forces and stand against this new threat. Wielders of blade and bow, keepers of arts arcane, unite! As darkness draws nigh, only you can protect the light that binds us. The fate of Ivalice lies in the hands of...the Crystal Defenders!
Crystal Defenders is a defensive simulation game in which players deploy characters from the Final Fantasy Tactics series onto a variety of different maps to battle wave after wave of encroaching monsters. The game is simple and easy to learn -- monsters will enter an area and march through it until they are defeated or reach an exit, at which time they will steal one or more crystals. It is up to the player to decide—by pausing the action at crucial moments -- when and where to deploy various jobs such as Black Mages or Soldiers that will attempt to defend the party’s crystals. Factors such as map terrain, monster strengths and weaknesses, job attributes, and more will play a crucial role in determining what steps a player should take.
- Supported Functions
- Number Of Players: 1
- As with Crystal Defenders, Vanguard Storm also features jobs from the popular Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.
- Whether engaging in a concentrated attack or a gradual, widespread assault, players must constantly adjust battle formations in order to best take advantage of their units' individual abilities.
- In addition to jobs geared towards offensive maneuvers, there are also jobs which support or enhance other units. White Mages can restore an injured ally's HP, while Bishops can increase a nearby unit's attack power.
- Monsters in Vanguard Storm come in all different shapes and sizes. Some tread upon the ground, while others attack from the skies. Some even have resistances to certain types of attacks. To ensure victory, players must recognize these traits and then adjust battle formations accordingly, pitting melee-oriented jobs such as Soldiers against monsters that resist magick, or Archers against aerial enemies.
