A solid if somewhat simple SRPG. While it doesn't have as deep character development as Final Fantasy Tactics or Ogre Tactics, I did like how many of the levels had some kind of gimmick or tactical situation to make them more memorable. I especially like this because even though I love the aforementioned games I do feel like there are tons of levels that are just "here's some guys, kill them" whereas Vandal Hearts is slightly more involved with its encounter design.
