Unique approach to classic, turn-based RPG gamepl

- "Reactive turn-based" battle system

- Sandfall Interactive's attempt at making a turn-based RPG with high-fidelity graphics

- Game design combines fantasy and the French historical period of Belle Epoque

- Inspired by JRPGS like Final Fantasy, Tales series, Lost Odyssey and Persona

- Story inspired by Attack on Titan

- Also inspired by action games like the Souls series, Devil May Cry, and NieR

- Dodging and parrying is key

- You can aim your ranged weapons to hit enemy weak points

- Huge boss battles that will test players’ skills - Coming 2025

Looks very interesting. Will wait a few days after release to see how it runs, but might be a near-day-1 purchase.

Looks great and it being turn based surprised me when I was watching the trailer during the Xbox Games Showcase as I was thinking that it was a third person adventure game. Combat looks really good. Looking forward to giving Expedition 33 a chance via Game Pass which works out great for me.

Good for turn based fans.

I use to play JRPG’s despite the combat. Always preferred action combat or strategy combat RPG’s to turn-based with some exceptions like FF, Suikoden2, PanzerDragoonSaga, Xenogears etc. So this will probably be a pass for me unless its fantastic. Depends on mood too lol

Ummm well Im use to them from playing JRPG’s since I was a kid. Unless this game is amazing I probably wont buy/play it till my backlog is finished and Im really in the mood for a turn based RPG. Im not doing mediocre Turn based RPG’s anymore lol.

Now something like Disgaea, Baldurs Gate, Shinning Force, FireEmblem I would be on day 1. Or an action RPG like FF7R
