Jan. 2026
Agarest: Generations of War Zero is a dense and methodical tactical role-playing game developed by Idea Factory and published on PC by Ghostlight LTD, serving as a narrative and mechanical prequel to the original Agarest: Generations of War. Built firmly in the tradition of old-school strategy JRPGs, the game doubles down on long-form storytelling, layered combat systems, and relationship-driven progression. Rather than aiming for accessibility or modern streamlining, it embraces complexity and length, positioning itself as a game designed for patient players who enjoy deep systems and legacy-focused narratives. The story unfolds across two generations, centering on a conflict between divine forces and encroaching darkness that predates the events of the original game. The first protagonist, Sieghart, is drawn into a war shaped by fate, ancient gods, and moral ambiguity. As with the rest of the series, the narrative is deliberately expansive, delivered through lengthy dialogue scenes, world lore, and character interactions that emphasize destiny and sacrifice. A defining feature is the Soul Breed system, where players build romantic relationships with heroines through dialogue choices and affinity mechanics. The chosen partner directly determines the identity, stats, and abilities of the next generation’s protagonist, ensuring that narrative decisions have tangible mechanical consequences rather than serving purely cosmetic purposes. Combat remains the backbone of the experience and is presented through grid-based tactical battles that prioritize positioning, synergy, and long-term planning. Units operate within extended area formations, allowing characters placed in specific spatial patterns to unleash chained attacks and cooperative skills. This system encourages thoughtful battlefield layout and coordination rather than reliance on individual powerhouses. Battles tend to be lengthy and deliberate, often requiring careful management of resources, turn order, and formation advantages. While the depth of these systems is rewarding for strategy enthusiasts, it can also make combat feel slow or repetitive, especially when grinding becomes necessary to keep pace with escalating enemy difficulty. Character progression is unusually intricate, blending traditional leveling with multiple overlapping systems. Protagonists can be customized through card-based skill assignments that influence both combat performance and personality traits, while party members grow through equipment upgrades, stat allocation, and affinity systems. Social mechanics such as Feel Links and Free Intentions allow players to deepen relationships during downtime in towns, unlocking new scenes, costumes, and bonuses. These elements reinforce the game’s core theme that bonds between characters shape the fate of the world, but they also contribute to a heavy menu-driven experience that can feel overwhelming to newcomers. Visually, Agarest: Generations of War Zero reflects its era and platform origins. Battles are represented through sprite-based characters on grid maps, while story segments rely on illustrated portraits and motion art to convey emotion. Though the presentation may appear dated by modern standards, the anime-inspired artwork remains expressive, and character designs are distinctive enough to support the long narrative. The soundtrack complements the tone well, ranging from somber orchestral themes to more energetic battle tracks, and voice acting—particularly in Japanese—adds personality during key story moments, even if not every line is fully voiced. One of the most defining aspects of the game is its sheer scale. A single playthrough can easily span dozens of hours, and completionists exploring alternate relationship routes, endings, and post-game content may invest far more time. Extra modes and crossover content with other Agarest entries further extend longevity, reinforcing the sense that this is a game meant to be lived with rather than finished quickly. However, this length is also one of its greatest barriers, as pacing issues, repetitive encounters, and required grinding can sap momentum for players not fully committed to its systems. Ultimately, Agarest: Generations of War Zero is a demanding but distinctive tactical RPG that prioritizes depth, legacy, and consequence over accessibility. Its generational storytelling, relationship mechanics, and layered combat systems offer a uniquely interconnected experience where choices echo across time. While its slow pacing, dated presentation, and mechanical density may deter casual players, those who appreciate classic JRPG design and are willing to invest the time will find a richly structured journey that rewards patience and strategic thinking, standing as a clear representation of Idea Factory’s uncompromising approach to long-form tactical storytelling.
