The level of each unit is identified as "I", "II", or "Vet", with "Vet" being the highest level. Units increase their level once for each enemy unit that they destroy. Units can now level up in battle, increasing their capabilities. If the CO unit is destroyed, the CO meter empties and the CO returns to the HQ, where they can be assigned to another unit. In addition, the offensive and defensive boosts that normally apply only in the CO zone are applied to all allied units on the whole battlefield for the turn that the CO power is active. When the meter is full, the CO can activate his or her power which has an effect on the whole battlefield, such as repairing allied units, damaging enemy units, or temporarily altering weather conditions. As the CO power meter is filled, the CO zone grows larger. Īs damage is dealt by units within the CO zone, the CO's power meter fills slightly, at a rate of one bar per five hit points worth of damage inflicted. CO effects are constant and, unlike previous games, only benefit units within the CO zone. These effects are generally minor advantages such as attack or defense boosts. The CO's unit confers an advantage on friendly units within a certain range, the "CO zone". Īt the HQ or any unit-producing property, COs can join with a specific unit, and automatically promote that unit to Vet level, but at the cost of half of that unit's value. Players gain CO powers much later in the campaign than in previous games, and they have a much less significant role in overall gameplay. Tag powers from Dual Strike, which allowed players to move twice in one turn, have been removed. CO powers have been toned down, and no longer affect all units or the whole map. The entire cast from the previous games has been replaced with new characters. Many factors can affect the battle, such as fog of war, a phenomenon that prevents players from seeing enemy units other than those in the visual range of their own units various weather conditions and CO powers. Every turn, units, which consist of ground, sea, and air units, can move across the different types of terrain and attack enemy units or perform other actions, such as submerging a submarine or resupplying friendly units. The battle system is turn-based two-to-four forces, each headed by a commanding officer (CO), take turns building and commanding units on grid-based maps. Except for certain single player missions with special objectives, there are two ways to defeat an opponent: destroy all of the enemy's units or capture their headquarters. The primary objective in Days of Ruin is for the player to use their military force to defeat the enemy's force. Meanwhile, a mysterious faction with unknown motives takes advantage of the destruction and pushes both sides deeper into conflict from behind the scenes. In the aftermath, the Battalion devotes itself to assisting survivors and restoring order, despite the shattered nations renewing their war against each other and an uncurable disease ravaging both sides. Set amidst a post-apocalyptic world, the story focuses on the Rubinelle 12th Battalion, one of the surviving remnants of the military of the country of Rubinelle, which had been locked in a century-long war with its rival, Lazuria, prior to a devastating global meteor shower. ĭays of Ruin features a darker and more serious tone and atmosphere in contrast to the previous installments, with a new storyline and setting independent of the previous games. However, on October 30, 2013, it finally became available in Japan through Club Nintendo as a downloadable platinum status reward for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.
