Dive into Partia
Partia is a SRPG (Strategy Role-playing) video game inspired by Fire Emblem and Tear Ring Saga series. In a high fantasy setting, the game will take players through an adventure where magic and sword collide and friendship and betrayal intertwine.
Thank you guys for your reviews and suggestions. Good ones encourage us and bad ones humble us.
I am constantly fixing bugs that are brought up to me and trying to change things that bother people. It takes time since I am just one guy (Imago Software is only two guys) dealing with many issues. Still things will improve in future updates that I’m working on.
Meanwhile, obviously this is a paid game and I don’t want to disappoint or cheat people out of their money.
Here’s a gameplay video from TouchArcade’s Sanuku (Thank you!):

Yes, the minor character development was very weak. More dialogs will be written in part of effort to more complete game experience!
@Tony Peniyoung
I was going to answer your concern but didn’t really get the message!
@Grievlocke
Wow, having big battle animations will be really cool. Number 1 in my wish list too. Simply there was no budget and it looks like there will be no budget in the future, either- looking at the sales.
@Many who wanted more stages
I had random map generation for more guild quests, but I couldn’t get the quality right yet. Random really never worked with the element of strategy, and became just a brute fighting.
Partia 2 was planned for 25 stages that wraps up the story, but at 600 games sold, well, I wonder if I could ever get enough budget.
@ErnieBernie876
I know it is not as convenient as having a restart button, but you could suspend the game and load the last save data to restart the stage from the beginning.
@frozencracker
It would be a bug if you have an attack option without having a valid target, but I can’t seem to reproduce it. To cancel the attack while targeting, you could press ‘B’ button (that’s the inside button) or you could choose a target then select No.
I will try my best to answer any question! You could also email me to:

Cannot express enough how much we love these games(all 3). The only thing we hate is the excessive amount of precise tapping on these big phones it hurts our hands honestly. We wish there was a d-pad and buttons option to avoid all the stretching but hey if that’s the worst part we will gladly deal. Edit- we tried using a Xbox One controller and it did not work. Thanks for responding you seem to be a nice developer and we are glad we supported by buying all three. Would Apple allow you to instead of updating the game for all sell the virtual d-pad and the ones who want it could buy it for say 2 bucks? Just wondering if there was a workaround or loophole we could use. Edit- Deleted our save after starting Chapter 8. Only that file have no idea why.
Hi, dont get us wrong with our title for the game. We felt/believe it was very good and somewhat went along with what we were looking for as a Fire Emblem experience while not being FE. We rated this as 8/10 on a solely personal opinion. For the price of the game, its certainly worth getting. Very cool and very refreshing to us. Just a bit short and repetitive. But that makes sense, as it feels like a chapter going into a chapter. A game going into a sequel. And a beginning game at that. Spoilers Ahead for anyone reading this: First, leveling up units is easy in the arena. Pair your fighter with an archer and let the archer fire away at you. Each miss still counts as EXP, which is super valuable. Also, dont worry about potion healing at the inn. Just have your healer step into arena fights with your weak partner, heal then and then abort. Make sure the bet/crowns are low during those aborts, as they cost you. As for the game, for us, we played FE for the stories compared to gameplay. Most of the time anyway. Path of Radiance did both for us. And FE7 – Lyndis, Eliwood and Hector – was a tremendous experience too. Story really gripped us with the older FE series, which is what we were looking for here. Sadly, we feel like there was a story here but it felt rushed? It jumped places? Especially the south rebellion? It would have been nice to see the characters interact. Even see chats between them at camp. Instead, it felt like you just moved on from chapter to chapter with some light connection between your character and the romantic interest. And then there were politics behind closed doors; involving the north and south at each others throats. But there was no real side intrigue or anything. No one wondering why this was happening or that. Who was acting suspicious lately. No reports on the unexpected. We do give points for being able to name the main character! That was very nice and helped us feel connected to the world/fantasy. And the class promotions were still encouraging, as usual. We did find it interesting to see armor units limited to one class, although there was sword missing. Also, dwarf and elf weapons. Those were surprising! We wondered about what races there could be in this FE look alike. The world builds were interesting too, alongside the character sprites! We do wish that the character icons changed expressions for emotion like happy, sad, surprised and so on, to set the mood even more. But it was all still good. Overall, we very much enjoyed this game and feel like it was a start project of some kind. Im going to look into the sequel, which the trailer showed us. We had a spectacular time with Partia, although feeling a bit lost. Reminded us a bit of Dungeons and Dragons, a prologue leading into the bigger story later. A start to everything, ha ha.
Overall experience is good. Story and gameplay are good. There is lacking explanation on how the interactions work with characters, items, etc Overall, very worth the price.
Please add controller support! This game would be much more enjoyable for us and others if it had it! Thanks!
This is coming from a huge Fire Emblem fan who has played each game within the franchise repeatedly. Firstly, we just want to keep this review short since there is too much we enjoy about it. Basically, we are overjoyed and eternally grateful for this game. The Partia series is like having classic Fire Emblem on mobile, and it is something we have always wanted (Fire Emblem Heroes is NOT it, from really just being another gacha game). With a few other gimmicks, it can definitely come out as its own thing. Yet while still far from an original idea, we mean it is just so much like classic Fire Emblem, it is not at all a bad one. With Partia, you are not getting garbage. Partia gives you a legitimate and thoughtfully made game full of fun. On a side note, we recommend turning on all three of the special settings horse rule, etc. For the nearly diverse fun-filled gaming to which we are referring. It will probably be more or too difficult for some to most players, but best experience for people like myself who love the genre of T/SRPGs. Secondly, we will be honest in which we have not played much of it thus far. We have owned this game since released, played it for a bit (recently restarted and getting further), and even have had the Partia 2 and 3 since release. And yet, we have played enough of this game to get that satisfaction we always get from the genre. It is by far from perfect, which is expected from an indie game as well as something only on mobile. Overall, its a hidden treasure in the world of tactical RPGs. We are thoroughly excited to get more into the world of Partia and continuing with the next two, and hopefully more, games. And finally, there are a few things we wish to see from Partia. The biggest one is for there to be controller support. We use screen mirroring with our iPad, and Partia could benefit perfectly from having controller support (hopefully on each of their games) so that we can connect our 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ controller to our iPad and just play it like any other game. As for the other things… We forgot what they were. Maybe add some more fighting animations such as what has always been on Fire Emblem? For all we know, that has already been implemented into the sequels. Honestly, the rest does not matter much. Imago Software is doing good work. Keep it up, and many thanks. (Guess this thing did not turn out all that short after all.)
We bought Partia because we were looking for a good rpg mobile game and we were not disappointed! We beat this one, and the second one now Im going to buy the third one! We cant get enough and we will most definitely replay these over and over! 5 stars!
Its not horrible. Its okay the problems however make us just throw our hands up on the second Map. Yes. Second. Still here? The game sells itself as a Fire Emblem like even if thats not what the devs wanted. But Fire Emblem at least TOLD you how it works. Is there weapon advantage? Maybe but we cant tell. Is there Perma-death? They dont tell you, they want to seem to have you waste time figuring it out. How the bleeding heck does Magic work with its damage and resistance? Nope get out what is this some spoon fed hold your hand sim? Its far to rough and seems to take sadistic glee and not telling you anything. Maybe the sequels dont waste your time as much.
The first Partia feels quite partial. We enjoyed abusing the arena, but the money was short for our effort. Wasnt ever any worthy enemies to use the greater weapons on. Would recommend to anyone that has a deep love for Fire Emblem.
The game looks amazing for what it is. The style is perfect for this type of game. Price isnt to high or to low, we plan on purchasing the other two games as well but we will only be purchasing them after we complete the one beforehand. Thank you for making these games as they are what we have been looking for and Just now found.
Pros: – Visiting Town between chapters is entertaining and makes sense. – Dialogue is expertly crafted, easily better than the ridiculous Japanese-English translation dialogue that plagued FE games – Character portraits and character personalities (so far) are mostly pretty great, with the ocasional hilariously homemade portrait – Special abilities on characters, including support bonuses boosts the depth of combat. Having an accuracy boost on the pathetically weak main character is especially welcome! – Big maps! Some might complain, about more tapping/clicking/turns to traverse, but big maps make battles feel epic! Cons: – Punishing EXP system (esp on expert). You will need to grind, especially with your main character, to get them strong enough to not get one shotted by enemy grunts Tips (for noobs only): – Exploit the arena. Revisiting town spawns new random arena match – Save your potions! Should be used in arena only – If you run out of potions for the arena, bring in your healer and do 2v2 matches vs. Weak enemies to heal your injured units – For best EXP gains, it is most effective to unequip your character weapon and wait for a weak enemy to attack (and hopefully miss) for 25 turns, OR attack with slow/weak weapons. (Edit after response from Developers): Bumped up to 4 stars, since the punishing EXP system works as Devs intended!
The grind would be fine if weapons armor and items were not limited in quantity. Trying to level up our hero in arena is near impossible since it depends on either not getting hit or wasting weapons/armor.
We feel like its an incomplete game with some problems. You can only equip items once you are in a battle, can not upgrade units like upgrade an archer to a sniper, level ups dont help much and the max level is only 20 witch we can reach pretty fast, and the story doesnt seem so smooth and sometimes hard to understand. We do like how every character has a different face, we are able to train before we move onto the next chapter, there are different endings, and the different game play options was pretty neat. Overall its not really worth the price because of the problems and its not to different from some of the free tactics games on iPhone., but it was enjoyable.
Obviously any game can be nit picked and can be improved but for the price it’s the best turn based ios rpg outside of FF:Tactics.
Love it!! But where is the rest? It ends without the whole story. So we got the seconded one and its a whole different story! What happens after they board the ship?
Great game if you love Fire Emblem.
Please make more to the game, we really want to know what happens next.
Love the game. As soon as we first played, it reminded us of fire emblem.
This is a good game if you like fire embalm.
Love this game! Very similar to Fire Emblem, one of our all time favorite games.
This game is great. We have read many reviews knocking this game for lack of tutorial, but come on, this game is made for people who have played Fire Emblem and the like. We have played so much Fire Emblem and Shining Force, and we have to say, this game is pretty great when it comes to being a clone of that brand. As far as controls go, they seem to have overhauled what was once a clunky system, after reading the older reviews, and made it all touch, (when horizontal) and it handles great. The dialogue could definitely use some work, but it’s still a pretty good story. After some extremely tense battles, and a few chapter restarts, we were actually able to clear the game without losing a single character, which was very difficult but the challenge was welcoming. It is possible people! Over all we would give this game a 7/10. The 5 star rating is due to being the only clone we’ve found that is worthy in iOS form. If you like Fire Emblem, get this game!!
If u like fire emblem you’ll like this game.
Good story and gameplay but needs to be updated and needs a little easier controls but everything else is good.
Patria is a great SRPG game with compelling plot and methodical tactic based combat. The level designs are intelligently constructed and large. Highly recommended.
So far proving to be a great SRPG in the vein of Fire Emblem. Has a decent story and good gameplay mechanics. There is a more robust item management system than we expected. With New units to hire and flavor text for everyone and unique abilities the only thing we miss are in-battle conversations between units. Am glad to see developers supporting this game with updates and look forward to a sequel.
Very nostalgic reminds us of shining force.
Amazing game. Hope to see a sequel soon! Many applauds y’all. A little rough around the edges, but such a good game!
We’ve been looking for a fire-emblem style game for so long, this is literally the best game for Apple devices- and since its priced so low IT’S A STEAL, seriously it’s like where ripping the Devs off, it’s a great game one we’ve been looking for awhile. We recommend this game to any and all Fire-Emblem/RPGSGP or anybody who wants to have a good time. The only fault we see is charcter dialogue, and lvl shortage other then that this game is solid. Thx Devs, for such a great game!!! Looking forward for many more games!(>)> SO PEOPLE PLEASE BUY SO WE CAN GET A SEQUEL^(><)^
The Game is very good,just like fire emblem. The Game need animations so please!
I’d just like to thank Imago Software for putting a Fire Emblem-esque game on the App Store. We love this game so much!!!
This game is amazing if u loved fire emblem … But there arnt any video fights :/ … But still amazing … So buy thi games so they have the funds to make more :)
We like the game alot but there really needs to be a plot and you shouldn’t over level the enemy’s cuz it makes it difficult to proceed through the chapters.
We found that the game was amazing ! We didn’t run into any glitches or bugs and we were very happy but disappointed at the ending :( please make another game or add more levels because we are dieing for moreeee .
So we haven’t actually played it yet, however we have read the details part (yes every word of it, even the feedback part) as well as viewed the pictures and read other reviews. We may re-write this review later, however, as it stand this game has been presented amazingly. We’re willing to bet this game is very fun (I am a fan of Fire Emblem type games), but even if the game needs work, we are far ready to give our 4$ to you. Keep up the good work! We need more honest and hard working companies.
Greatly resembles FE 6 to us! This is a great game and, although it has a few text errors and the like, it has real potential. We like it way more than that disappointment Awakening.
So fun you should make a part 3, sale the 3,game as a bundle.
Partia is a strategy game that reaches its goal of being a pretty genuine clone of Fire Emblem for iOS- the best, imo. Gameplay is pretty solid, although horizontal style is pretty awkward since the d pad is really tiny and right under the game display screen, so 60% of the device’s screen isn’t really used. The story is okay, and, overall, Partia is a good game for a small fee. There thankfully isn’t any IAP rubbish, and that could have fit in perfectly with this kind of game. Sadly, it lacks a tutorial, so we recommend everybody to look up a quick guide on how to play Fire Emblem before embarking on a quest with Partia so that you get the basics. The thing Partia really needs, though, is full screen for vertical play for 5G devices and up. Even if you just want to fill up those empty black corners with a cool Partia wallpaper, that would be enough to keep us satisfied. We were going to put four stars because of this minor issue, but we’ll cut the dev some slack- we read that the dev consists of only two people working on this game which is pretty amazing: you have done a great job. Keep up the good work.
Thank you creator ^.^ we love the game.
This is truly the best and most strategic game that is currently in the App Store. Nintendo would be proud knowing that there are many supporters of their popular series known as Fire Emblem. Again, this is a magnificent tactical RPG, so take buying this into game consideration, it’s worth every penny.
You guys have something great going on. Don’t give up guys. Here’s our support.
We have absolutly no sound when playing on our 6s plus. Please fix this. Update: fixed.
One of the best rpg games for iphone, reminiscient of fire emblem which was one of our favorite games for gameboy. The controls can be a bit tedious but otherwise perfect. We cannot wait for the sequel!
Hey we came across the game and started reading the description. We want you to know we’re buying it mostly to support you guys and haven’t played yet. You earned our respect through how you wrote the ‘details’ section. Here is our 4$. Don’t give up on making games, it may take time but you’ve got the potential to go far.
We will say this right now, this was a game that was geared more for people who played FE and for those who played GBA. And if your complaining about the platform not being up to date, read "Details" and you will find it was 2 people making this game. If you need a tutorial, literally look up "Partia Walkthrough" and it will give you the mechanics. Also, just click on someone to see their attack range, the old fashioned way.
