This is basically my first entry to turn based tactics that I thought as a kid to be similar to Dynasty Warriors 2. I was surprised that it was turn based and was even more pleasantly surprised how actual tactics came to in to play. Fun way to to actually plan 2 steps ahead and has a lot of replayability because of the branching chapters depending on what you choose to do on story situations. Especially Liu Bei and Lu Bu have an interesting story arc. I mainly hope that this game would come to PC because it is very unique compared to other turn based tactics games.

Eternal Sonata
Eternal SonataEternal Sonata is a role-playing video game developed by tri-Crescendo and published by Namco Bandai Games. The game is centered on the Polish romantic pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin, who died of tuberculosis at the age of 39. The story envisions a fictional world dreamed by Chopin during his last hours that is influenced by Chopin's life and music, and in which he himself is a playable character, among others. The game's battle system centers on musical elements and character-unique special attacks. Light and darkness play a part in the appearance and abilities of enemies on the battlefield, as well as the types of magic that can be cast. The game features a selection of Chopin's compositions played by pianist Stanislav Bunin, though the original compositions were composed and arranged by Motoi Sakuraba. It is notable for its use of classical piano pieces, educational cutscenes featuring real paintings and photographs (in contrast to the cel-shading graphics of the game) and lush landscape design.
