Original article [Tue 13th Dec, 2022 05:00 GMT]: If you’re a fan of tactical RPGs, you should take note of Redemption Reapers, coming to Switch in February 2023.
This dark fantasy tactical RPG developed by Adglobe and Binary Haze Interactive (ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights) is brought to life by industry players such as Masayuki Horikawa – known for working on the Fire Emblem series as a director and scenario/level designer, and also Kingdom Hearts III planning.
Here’s a bit about the story, and what you can expect from the gameplay, courtesy of PR:
Hope fades across the land after the merciless Mort armies suddenly appear. Efficient as they are brutal, the macabre forces descend upon civilizations, leaving destruction in the wake of their nightly raids. As entire nations fall to the Mort onslaught, the Ashen Hawk Brigade, a contingent of mercenaries specializing in surprise tactics, band together to fight back against the invading legions.
Lead the Ashen Hawk Brigade in tactical skirmishes on 3D maps. Use strategic moves, directing units across the battlefield before issuing commands to attack, defend or deploy skills in each turn. Overcome seemingly insurmountable odds by mastering sneak attacks for extra damage or powerful combo attacks from multiple brigade members.
Make sure every brigade member is fit for the trials ahead by equipping your party with powerful gear. Turn hard-earned victory spoils into resources to craft powerful weapons and armor. Upgrade skills to unlock combat abilities capable of turning a tough squad of underdogs into brave champions.
Cut through Mort and uncover a poignant, mature story of wartime combat. Witness powerful moments unfold between members of the brigade during fully voiced cutscenes (recorded in English and Japanese audio) as fighters learn more about their allies and the world around them. Guide the Ashen Hawk Brigade’s rise from obscurity to folk heroes as its members grapple with their dark past as a deadly – and despised – organization called the Faithless Reapers.
It will also feature a “star-studded” voice cast including Kyle McCarley, Allegra Clark, David Lodge and Lucien Dodge. These people have contributed to series such as 13 sentries, NieR: Automata, dragon age, Personas 5, Final Fantasy XVFire Emblem and Trails series.
