Gameplay

Berwick Saga is a tactical role-playing game with gameplay similar to the Fire Emblem series and Tear Ring Saga, including the use of permanent death when characters are defeated in battle. However, it features several major differences, including the use of a hexagonal, rather than square, grid. Mercenary characters can be temporarily hired in exchange for money and later permanently recruited if certain criteria are met.[1]
