Yggdra Unison is a strategy game released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS, developed by Sting.

It landed about 3 years into the DS's life. Other notable DS releases from 2007 include The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, The World Ends with You and Hotel Dusk: Room 215.

It is part of the Dept. Heaven series; on the DS you can also try Knights in the Nightmare. The series also appears on other systems with Riviera: The Promised Land (GBA) and Yggdra Union (GBA).

Yggdra Unison is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to think and plan
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you've played the DS hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want quick action without planning ahead
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Yggdra Unison is like

Strategy games reward planning over reflexes: command armies, manage resources and outthink opponents on turn-based or real-time battlefields.

Tip for newcomers: Read the manual or tutorial if one exists: retro strategy games often assume you know their rules. Save between missions.
