Our take on Ambition of the Slimes
The possession mechanic provides access to many enemy roles, but it makes capture planning the central constraint. Progress depends on matching Slime types and elements to targets, leaving less room for a simple attack-first approach.
What is Ambition of the Slimes?
Ambition of the Slimes is a turn-based tactical RPG in which Slimes are the units under the player's control.
Slimes can capture enemy humans and then use those bodies in battle. Possessing an archer grants access to archery, while taking over a magician allows the Slime to use magic. A merchant can be used to bewilder an enemy through bribery. The game includes several Slime types, including ones that can warp or improve the abilities of a possessed enemy.
Each stage requires decisions about which Slime to use, which enemy to capture, and how to approach the encounter. A Slime's element affects capture attempts, and the game presents a high level of challenge. The story follows the Slime counterattack against humans who have damaged the world.
