However, this situation will come to an end due to Faftania, a major power on the eastern continent that has acquired the power of the chimera. While being overrun by the country’s overwhelming military power, Vel Dina, the leader of the Clausewitz mercenary group in the western republic of Parv, receives information that Faftania is creating inhuman chimeras. He takes his group members with him and heads to Faftania to find out the truth.
In this game, battles proceed through turn-based battles in which players move around square sections. The map is covered in fog, and you will discover enemies and facilities as you progress. It seems necessary to devise an appropriate strategy in order to conduct an exploration while predicting what is lurking.
When the battle begins, it will be a turn-based battle using pre-built decks. It seems that there are not only attack categories, but also defense and recovery categories. There are also other cards in the screenshot that allow you to escape, and there are likely to be cards that have effects other than direct combat. There are over 50 types of cards. It will be important to build a deck while considering synergies and compatibility with the opponent you will be fighting.
In addition, it seems that you can enjoy the game play with full voices by a gorgeous voice actor team. For example, Lynn is the voice actor for the main character Vel Dina, and Takeo Otsuka is the voice actor for Leon Heiss, who appeared in the trailer. There are other characters from the Clausewitz Mercenaries, and details will be released at a later date.
