   Formerly known as Emblem Saga, developer Enterbrain's Tear Ring Saga plays in similar fashion to a Langrisser game (which incidentally, appears to be inspired by the original Fire Emblem). You have your turn-based battle campaigns, micromanaged unit movements, and relationships with party members and teams. Keeping soldier morale high affects fighting abilities as well as performance on the battle field. A team's affinity with each other strengthens while enmity weakens resolve. Each battle begins with a dramatic primer featuring team leaders conversing with party members as well as opposing forces. The movement phase shifts the view to a planning map which allows you to hatch strategy as well as give orders to individual units in each team.
