Souzinengi V is a full-scale RPG that carries on the traditions of RPGs from the good old days. It was made with the challenge of seeing just how interesting battles could be with standard, 5-character, turn-based combat, and whether its character growth system would be fun while remaining simple.
Players must strategize and adapt to each enemy encounter in the turn-based combat system. Battles feature a party of 5 characters and a "commander" that provides passive bonuses, all configurable into unique formations for different effects. Enemies have distinct gimmicks and weaknesses that players must exploit, as simply brute-forcing encounters is ineffective. Defeating foes requires thoughtful use of each character's skills, status effects, and elemental affinities.
The game offers 15+ playable characters, each with unique skills, abilities, and growth paths that allow them to fulfill different roles. Players can freely reallocate skill points and swap out skills at any time, encouraging experimentation. The growth system's branching skill trees provide substantial flexibility, allowing players to specialize each character. Combined with the diverse formation effects, this enables a wide variety of viable party compositions.
Rather than mindless level grinding, progression centers around mastering the game's mechanics and defeating challenging enemies and bosses. Completing dungeons and defeating foes rewards players with valuable resources, including new equipment, skills, and even enemy abilities that can be learned. Exploration is encouraged, as hidden treasures and optional content provide worthwhile rewards beyond simply advancing the main story.
With over 100 hours of content, the game offers an exceptionally deep and replayable experience. The nuanced systems, diverse cast of characters, and strategic combat ensure that players will continually find new ways to approach challenges, even after completing the main story. Whether experimenting with different party compositions, optimizing character builds, or tackling optional bosses and dungeons, there is always more to discover for fans of classic JRPGs and those seeking a true test of their strategic prowess.
