Evaluation
Rime Berta launched on December 16, 2014 as a self-contained Japanese tactical RPG with a complete story following Livia's journey through a mysterious tower. The store description presents it as a finished product with no mention of expansions, DLC, seasons, or post-launch content plans. Across 30 news posts scanned, there are zero major content releases, zero announcements of upcoming content, and zero patches of any kind — the only notable post is a June 12, 2019 farewell notice from a Playism community manager departing the company, which is unrelated to the game's development status. There is no DLC listed for the game. The developer, NEXT-SOFT+, has never communicated any post-launch content plans. The game shipped as a complete, standalone experience and has received no additional content in the eleven-plus years since launch.

About this game
Welcome to the world of Rime Berta: a whimsical world of swords, sorcery and tactical combat. Command an adorable but deadly army of sentient "puppets" on a quest to claim an artifact said to grant any wish.
Craft your team the way you want, draft each into a class that fits your battalion, and control the battlefield to attain victory.
Livia's story
Players follow the journey of Livia, a young girl whose village has fallen victim to a terrible disease. With no known cure in sight, Livia resorts to venturing into a mysterious tower on the outskirts of the village, said to house an artifact capable of granting any wish.
Having no idea what lies ahead, Livia bravely steps into the tower...and into the greatest adventure of her life.
Classic Tactical Combat
Rime Berta uses classic SRPG mechanics that gamers have grown to love. Units move across a grid-based battlefield with variable height, and can attack using a variety of single target and area-of-effect attacks.
How you own the battlefield is up to you. Will you overwhelm individual units with brute force on an even playing field, or will you use the environment to your advantage, and funnel enemies into a valley before springing your attack?
Each class has its own share of strengths and weaknesses, and it's up to you to make sure you use it to your advantage.
Reactive Turn Battle
In Rime Berta, while your fights are turn based, it doesn't mean you're defenseless when the enemy is moving into place. Using powerful "reaction" skills, you can set your units to react to specific condition changes in the battlefield.
Once set, these skills will activate during the enemy's turn, allowing you to quickly retaliate when the tide begins to turn.
Leveling & Evolving
As your units fight and grow stronger, they will learn a plethora of new skills. Switch in and out the skills you need to customize your units to fit your strategy. Even within individual classes, there's plenty of customization to be found.
Learn the right skills for your units, and they'll have the ability to change to a new hybrid class with its own set of unique skills and spells. Each class has its own unique class promotion tree, with chances to further specialize your soldier.
Customize, strategize, and command your troops to victory! The fate of your village is in your hands!
