Reviewed for Big Boss Games by: Eschneider6 La Pucelle Tactics is the second Strategy/RPG game from Nippon Ichi Software for the PS2, the first being Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, also for the PS2. In La Pucelle Tactics you play Prier, a young orphan raised to follow the teachings of the Church of the Holy Maiden. You start her adventure with her younger brother Culotte, and sister Alouette as Prier begins her long battle against the forces of darkness. Before each battle you get some story progression and some slapstick humor. One of the coolest features in this game is that you can capture monsters by purifying them, once captured they will join your side. Another feature is you level up your weapons by causing chain reactions by purifying the colored squares that can also do some major damage to your enemies. There is a Dark world that gives you some great items, and some exclusive monsters only found there. The game has multiple endings, hidden bosses, and loads of items that will keep you playing hours and hours on end. After you meet special requirements, you can even capture boss monsters to do your bidding. I have played over 110 hours and still haven't seen all the endings, and I can't stop playing it. If you want an easy, fun game that has a fun and engaging story, you must play La Pucelle Tactics. Are you still reading this? Go on and start playing already! On a 1-10 scale, 1 being throw it out, 10 being must buy, La Pucelle Tactics scores a 9.5!Read full review
Enthusiast of tactical gaming will undoubtably find some jems in this title from the creators of Disgaea. The characters are fun. The boards show a moderate level of challenge that can be overcome with a little time and thought. You can recruit and train monsters you fight, you can have 8 people on the map at once. The story, demon hunters hunting demons, is a bit two dimentional and sappy. The actual time it takes to get through a dialog scene was too long, there should be some opt out function. If you are looking for the next great experience in gaming this is not it, but if you want to spend 30-40 hours running through a game that will make you think about your next move go ahead and pick it up. It has tons of extra stuff you can do that is optional, making super powerful wepons, running through optional levels fighting obscenely high level monsters, and making circles with lines of light and setting them off in chain reactions.... It doesn't stack up to Disgaea but it was a nice way to spend some off time.Read full review
One of the earlier NIS classics to hit the states, La Pucelle follows in the same format as Rhapsody and Disgaea with its dungeon crawling madness and impossible leveling. While the maps are entertaining the sprites and graphics haven't really evolved much from the PS One standard and the game plays more like a visual novel than a RPG. But for what the game lacks in special effects La Pucelle more than makes up for in with its compelling story, fantastic voice acting and its heartwarming characters. Any fan of the Nippon Ichi series shouldn't miss a chance to pick this game up.
I use to work at a classic game store and the one copy we had a customer bought, so when I saw this copy I had to grab it. The disc did have scratches but worked fine no pinholes.
