Main Features

Honed Tactical RPG Gameplay:
Defeat enemies using single-targeted and varied MAP (AoE) Attacks. Different objectives, Fog of War, Statuses, Elemental terrain tiles….all contribute to deliver a satisfying classic experience. Enjoy tight and pure tactical battles with no level scaling.

Elemental Dynamics:
The Four Kingdoms' Elements naturally counter each other, taking an integral part in both story and gameplay. Each Kingdom offers its own spells and an additional finisher after advancing the Heroes' class.

Class System:
3 starter classes for each Hero: Squire, Archer and Mage. Choose 1 out of 2 branching classes for each starter class later in the story, for a total of 9 different classes. Mix-and-match with Elemental choices for even more exciting combinations.

Summoning Mechanic:
Every Kingdom has 3 unique Minions which can be summoned into the battlefield and controlled individually.
