Defending a threatened empire blends a richly written visual novel with turn-based tactical battles over long hours. Following the sprawling story, forging bonds and optimising your units in combat keeps the player engaged for a long time. That density, marrying narrative and strategy, offers a lifespan genre fans savour.
