Rondo of Swords (�り�輪舞曲 / Itsuwari no Rondo, lit. "Rondo of Deceit") is a 2008 Strategy RPG for the Nintendo DS, developed by Success and localized by Atlus. During an attack on the city of Bretwalde by an invading army from the Grand Meir Empire, Prince Serdic was mortally wounded, so he had his body double take his place and save the kingdom in his stead. The new "Serdic" leads the few remaining soldiers of Bretwalde in a campaign to recapture their homeland and to drive off the Grand Meir. Along the way, Serdic and his company manage to recruit a variety of different people to help him, including stars from other Success games such as Izuna and Cotton.Aside from being a legitimately difficult tactics game, it also stands out for its combat system. Whereas most other tactical RPGs require you to move next to an enemy and then attack, Rondo of Sword's method of attacking requires you to move through your enemies, where they attack upon contact. Running through your own allies sometimes give stat boosts depending on what abilities they have, and enemies have a chance of countering your attacks, thus stopping your advance and usually leaving your character in decidedly unfortunate situations.

Regenerating Health: The skill Vital Power allows the user to replenish HP each turn. Serdic gains this ability without needing the skill after you take Path B by killing Marie, or taking Path A by refusing to do so and killing the real Serdic instead.

comment
Limit Break: The game has this in the form of the OverBreak, which is a unique move with special powers that can change the course of battle, be it by inflicting heavy damage to multiple foes, damaging a single foe via special means, healing/boosting all allies, etc. Furthermore, while it can be filled up by attacking/killing enemies or dodging enemy attacks, a special set of Items (Fighter, Hero, and Champion Gems) or the active skill Arc Charge can do the same in a pinch.

comment
Person of Mass Destruction: Any of the mages, but Arios in particular: after his final class change into "Rune Master", he learns a spell called "Megido Nova", the strongest Fire spell in the game. It is basically a nuke with him as ground zero. Moreover, he also learns the skill Ars Magna, which increases the damage output of all elements while reducing their MP cost added to his Flame Shard and Arcane Fire skills. Cotton and Faerie Fire count too, as well as Mephreyu and his spell Pandemonium, a Dark-elemental version of Megido Nova.

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist
 Rondo of Swords (Video Game) / int_50727f8d
comment
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: While characters don't die permanently when you lose them in battle, they do end up with the "hurt" status where in the next stage, they end up with all their stats and level halved and unable to do side quests. However, characters with the skill Adamancy can work around it since it has chances of reducing penalties for Hurt characters. Unfortunately this could apply both ways, for instance, you need to 'kill' Ernest 3 times to make him stay down for good.

Corrupt Church: The main reason for all the conflicts in this game can pretty much be blamed by the church led genocide before the start of the game. Also, the description written in the profiles in every single clergy member enemy you fight against implies this.

Back Stab: Attacking an enemy from behind deals more damage with a lessened risk of counter-attack than from the front. Furthermore, two skills also specialize in this: the aptly-named skill Back Stab increases the damage dealt while Rear Blow increases critical hit chances when attacking from that direction.

New Game Plus: After completing the game on either ending of either path, you will start a new game from Chapter 1 upon selecting the finished game's save file. But this time around, all equipment, money, Items, and Skills your men have learned throughout the old game will be carried over to the new game. Moreover, Serdic, Margus and Kay will have all the Skills you set them with from the last mission, and they, along with the allies you have recruited will start with 99 Skill Points.

Artificial Stupidity
 Rondo of Swords (Video Game) / int_940a5958
comment
Artificial Stupidity: Otherwise this game would be more then just Nintendo Hard, it would be downright impossible. A good example is how the computer's ranged units must move into position first before attacking like magic users, whereas ranged units under your control can move and attack at the same time. Take note that their archers have longer range than yours, but still you can just walk in range and shoot them in the face anyway since they can't counterattack. Another fun A.I. Breaker is to put one character two squares inside the range of a melee foe, then put your other characters in every square said foe could end up in while attacking. If he's really slow, he'll attempt to retreat, but otherwise, he'll move one square away from your nearest character, allowing all your nearby characters to carve him into little bits.

Draw Aggro: Increasing the Momentum Counter, be it by attacking, passing through units with support skills, using Active Skills or Items (especially MC-focused ones like Knight Codex/Knight Maxim and the Gum items) will cause a variant of this. All enemies will go after your highest-momentum characters within their range, which if used wisely, allows you to protect the weakest of your units as long as their MC is lower than that of the protecting allies.

Sheathe Your Sword
 Rondo of Swords (Video Game) / int_b2226c2f
comment
Sheathe Your Sword: One of the two solutions for Stage 20, leading into Path A. An alternative ending for Path B has Serdic walk away from Bretwalde when Grand Meir is crushed. Bretwalde is at peace and Igraine survives, but Aegil spends the rest of her life waiting for Serdic to return.

Timed Mission: Stage 18. You won't get a Game Over if you pass the 'Time Limit', but you will lose Yumiluna and Simon if you don't rescue them in time, and lose the chance of recruiting another 2 characters (Izuna and Alberich).

Ninja: Shino and Izuna are both ninjas from another Atlus-published Success game, Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja. Moreover, while both can use three talismans that act exactly like the game's spells note Jinrai Slip (Storm Rave), Rekka Slip (Ignite Lore), and Ten'i Slip (Holy Favor), the former can throw her kunai after moving like the archers in your party and her OB only works if the latter is in the same party as her.

Counter-Attack
 Rondo of Swords (Video Game) / int_cb42ed9f
comment
Counter-Attack: Units that are targeted by an enemy attacking head-on have chances to block the advance and attack in response. Moreover, skills like Retaliation increase the likeliness of counters if equipped and set. Other abilities, like Rook, on the other hand, decrease counter chances in exchange for boosting Defense.

comment
Another fun A.I. Breaker is to put one character two squares inside the range of a melee foe, then put your other characters in every square said foe could end up in while attacking. If he's really slow, he'll attempt to retreat, but otherwise, he'll move one square away from your nearest character, allowing all your nearby characters to carve him into little bits.

comment
We Cannot Go On Without You: In all levels save for "A Kidnapping," you will get a Game Over if Serdic dies in combat, regardless of surviving party members. This is justified in that he's the one carrying the Holy Blade and has to find a way to lift the curse, but the conditions will stay the same even after killing Marie or the real Serdic, since the Holy Blade is the only thing that can stop Grand Meir's and the Darkness' advances for good.

Foe-Tossing Charge
 Rondo of Swords (Video Game) / int_da2b1604
comment
Foe-Tossing Charge: The Route Maneuver System mechanic allows units to move through opponents in their way and attack them head-on as long as they aren't mages or healers. However, opponent units can prevent this via counter-attacking or the ZOC (Zone Of Control) Skill, the latter of which will be activated regardless of where their opponent attacks from. Moreover, the damage and counter-attack chances vary according to where the enemy is facing, resulting in attacks from behind or the sides dealing more damage than from the front with lessened risk of a counter.

Mana Shield: The Wyrm Medal protects from all damage by causing incoming attacks to deplete the MP gauge instead. It is used by Mephreyu but it will become yours once you slay him. There is also a skill named Mana Shield, but it reduces damage from all spells for one turn.
