Prepare for a fresh take on tactical RPGs with StrayDoll Conflict. This title from developer and publisher オートリ電子 eschews the typical top-down view for a compelling side-scrolling battlefield.
Verticality plays a crucial role in combat; attacks from higher ground deal significantly more damage, while those from lower positions suffer reduced accuracy. Players must strategically position their units, utilizing mobility to gain advantageous elevation or employing flying units for aerial assaults.
Alternatively, magic and firearms offer a way to bypass elevation challenges entirely.
The game features a deep ability system where players can spend points earned upon leveling up to learn and enhance skills. A key aspect of this system is its flexibility: points can be reset at any time, allowing for experimentation without permanent consequences.
This encourages players to explore various build possibilities and adapt their strategies.
StrayDoll Conflict's narrative unfolds in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity's glory days are long past, and remnants of civilization lie buried or turned to dust. Amidst this desolation, a young ruins expert named Lishe navigates a dangerous existence, pursued by excavation guilds due to her unconventional methods.
Her solitary life takes a dramatic turn when she encounters a mysterious mechanical girl within ancient ruins. This encounter ignites a journey to uncover the girl's origins, confront the guilds, and ultimately face a dark past.
While StrayDoll Conflict shares many systemic similarities with the developer's previous work, MagicScrollTactics, their stories are entirely separate, allowing players to enjoy either title independently.
