Banner of the Maid

Easily one of the better SRPGs around, only held back by subpar voice acting (which can be muted) and some sluggish animations (which can be sped up with CE).
People complaining about 'sudden/unexpected reinforcements' clearly can’t grasp tooltips written in plain English, so their reviews can be safely ignored.
The later chapters are best enjoyed on General difficulty for maximum masochism, as the combat difficulty ramps up sharply and managing your (very) limited resources becomes the most crucial part of the game.
More than worth the price it’s being sold for.

Fun little turn based strategy game. The story line is ok, nothing amazing about full story but good enough to keep you engaged during the play thru. The art work is great, especially if you like the JRPG style anime girls.

The only bad thing I can say about it is the game play can be a little repetitive the longer you play. After first few levels it doesn't really introduce many new concepts as the game goes along. At about half way thru the story you may be bored and only continuing to play just to get the complete.

Not a difficult game to master, i played thru the full game twice, first time in most difficult mode and 2nd play thru in newgame+ in easy mode to pick up 2 achievements that I missed. Honestly you could probably complete the full game in about 30 hours if you turn off the battle animations and don't strive for perfection on the hardest setting. Beyond that there is no re play-ability in the game, and i don't see myself ever coming back to it but it was fun to run thru it once

So let me get this straight about this game:
1. French references, with Napoleon and all.
2. With an Anime style/themed.
3. But with a Chinese voice actor.
4. The characters are, I mean the story have BIG plot twist.
Its ridiculous yet it works as a game, so why not.
This indie game is worth the money and I'll also be trying out their other turn-based games (if its on major discount). I think they made good quality games on this genre, and Banner of the Maid should be their main standard from what I would expect from the same developers.

Anime waifus in the french revolution?! The jokes practically write themselves! But here's the thing. The actual game play is genuinely good. It's balanced, you never feel like you're overpowered and grinding is minimal. It creates this bizarre contradiction where you are completely tense and immersed in the game and then you go back to the plot and it punches you in the face. If you know who the characters were in real life you will laugh, a lot. If you have a Steam Deck and/or just need to scratch that Fire Emblem/Langrisser/Shining Force itch, this game is a fun time.

I like the story and I got hook at the game, because First the combat is very great as it have an element which the unit is weak against a infantry and each unit have a unique ability and talents that can change the outcome of the game, and the another thing that I love about this game is the environment, characters, artwork, and design in this game moreover I did like the story I wish it does have a english dub.

It's a fun little pseudo-historical turn-based strategy game, with some cute french waifus. The gameplay is the main draw, it's very similar to Fire Emblem but more forgiving with no-perma-death and free opportunities to level grind. It's simple to understand but there is a lot of depth with the skills you can learn.

The music is fine, the story is fine. It suffers from some not-so-great Chinese to English translation errors, but it does the job of getting you to the next fight.

The girls are cute, the boys are not annoying, there are a lot of missable collectibles if you're going for all achievements, it's just a neat little game that will keep you engaged for a good amount of hours.

A good game, but also, a grindy one
Look, the art is beautiful, and the girls are even more beautiful (you'd expect the Japanese to be the one to turn French revolutionary history into anime girls, but the Chinese were the ones to do it here), but what you're here for is the gameplay.
This plays heavily like Fire Emblem, and at the beginning and up to the middle of the game you have your own way of solving the battles you are given, upgrading your units / heroes and making tactical decisions to win the campaign.
However, near the late-game the game almost forces you into grinding experience for units in order to stand a chance, and this is where my main criticism comes: it feels like the devs maid it (pun intended) so that you would spend more time grinding for exp over and over again for the sake of completing the next mission, just to grind some more for the next one and so. This artificial inflation of the game time almost discouraged me to drop it, but my ma didn't raise no quitters, so here I am.
Overall, it's a decent experience, if not for the grindy stuff at the end, this would be a good game, but tbh, one playthrough is enough for me.
