Game Description:
A war with the aliens was ended with victory of the Earth, thanks to secretly developed battle robots named SERDs. Years passed and wounds from this war were healed. Humans once again divided into multiple nations. And, as always, started to make a more powerful weapons. A new and much more powerful battle mech prototypes named VECTOR were developed and subsequently build. And while Takuya and his team were testing them, some unknown enemy VECTORs attacked their base.
Vixen 357 is a turn-based strategy RPG game developed by the same team responsible for the Langrisser games. Those who remember and like Langrisser games will feel right at home with this one, but it also has its own distinctive features, so it’s not just “Langrisser IN SPACE!!”. All characters can use different mechs and weapons, and there are special attacks. Many situations require to use some tactical thinking, so you cannot just rush headlong into things for the most part.

Strange naming
Reviewed By: Reinc on 30 Oct 2019The translation seems very good, but I can’t help but question their translation of some names. Although I do not know Japanese, it does seem to me that “Flannel Mouse” could be Flannel Maus, “Ben Basque” could be Ben Bask or maybe Ben Vasquez, “Panasia” could be Panacea, “Kyrus” could be Cyrus or maybe Cuirass, “Ryld” definitely should be Laird, and “Duurwal” does not seem like a real name either, so it could be Durwal (with a diaeresis over “u” ) or Dyrwl, and so on.
