Blue Dragon Plus (Nintendo DS)

BLUE DRAGON PLUS takes place a year after the events of the console role-playing game Blue Dragon. The five friends, Shu, Jiro, Kluke, Zola and Marumaro (along with plenty of other familiar faces) are reunited in a new adventure that once again pits them against the villain Nene and his army of Mecha Robos as they investigate the new Cube World that was created at the end of the first game.

Blue Dragon Plus is a real-time strategy game where players explore the various "cubes" and battle the monsters lurking there in a series of staged encounters. Unlike other portable strategy games like Jeanne D'Arc or Final Fantasy Tactics, the terrain is not divided into a grid, and combat is not turn-based. In other words, instead of directing each character's actions in turn by selecting commands from a menu, both the player's units and the enemies move freely, and you must direct characters' actions by tapping where you want each one to go and selecting spells and special attacks to use on the fly.
