Cascade Tactics is a tactical RPG full of interesting and interactive abilities. You are a novice mercenary in a war-torn world. Hire your team, choose your classes, upgrade your equipment, and see how long you can survive.
Whether you want to hack your way to victory with powerful soldiers or strategically maneuver in the battlefield to maximize your profits, you can enjoy Cascade Tactics.
Interactivity is a major component of the game: move enemies or allies into or out of danger, stop an opponent from executing an action, or protect an ally from an incoming attack.

Job Changes
[list]
Summon Skeleton Archer now reduces the caster's HP when cast. (Now that Necromancer has much more utility he no longer needs such an strong ability).
Removed HP Absorb Upgrade from Necromancer (but he has gained some ability upgrades)
Slight nerfs to Necromancer stats
Sentinel HP nerfed (so high it was annoying)
Lancer gains Physical Resistance upgrade
Geomancer loses Physical Resistance upgrade
Immunity extended to other abilities
Removed Ninja's Magic Resistance, Magic +20%, and Block Upgrade. Now that Ninja has many other abilities I don't want to give it any extra passive upgrades.
Note: if you already unlocked any of these removed abilities, it stays in your game file as part of your character anyway.
Quick's effectiveness on a unit's Cast time is halved.
