So, this new Strategy RPG got announced; something I’m not normally into, but I’ll check out the trailer and see whether-or-not it peeks my interest. Below I’m going to drop the Press Release, as per usual. I’ll also give you the announcement trailer with my impressions beneath that, so stay tuned! Also, feel free to give me your take as well, love to hear from anyone who has any experience with this series.
We are excited to share that they have partnered with Happinet to publish Brigandine: Abyss, a new strategy RPG coming to Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam.
AboutBrigandine: Abyss is a brand-new entry in the storied franchise, featuring a completely unique world that even unfamiliar players can dive right into. Hundreds of years ago, the Abyssloa Empire was stopped by the power of the arcane Brigandine. Now, a new Abyssloa Empire rises from the ashes, ready to conquer the world. Confront the dark as you manage resources, rally your monsters, and stand against the empire in one of six different story campaigns.
For a more classic Brigandine experience, turn to Mission Mode, which lets you take the role of one of 24 different factions, each with their own win conditions! Whether you want to challenge your tactical acumen or take it easy, you’ll find hundreds of hours of fun in Brigandine: Abyss!
Whether you choose to play through the story or Mission Mode, gameplay will take place over two phases. Organize your troops and resources during the Organization phase, then take to the field during the Attack Phase! Brigandine: Abyss maintains the series’ unique hexagonal-grid-based strategy gameplay and gives players plenty to think about. You’ll need to consider your skills, elemental attributes, and the development of your armies if you hope to find success on the battlefield!
- Confront the Dark: The Abyssloa Empire rises again, and it’s up to you to stop them. Choose from one of six different story campaigns to find out the truth—or keep it hidden.
- Victory Is in the Details: Spreading your influence won’t be easy. Manage your resources, maneuver your troops, and bind your fates with monsters to make sure you can stand up to anyone. Then, take to the field and reap the rewards!
- Fight for Your Faction: In Mission Mode, play as one of 24 different factions, each with their own unique win condition. Play one or play them all in this endlessly replayable strategy RPG!
Immediately I could tell that this is DEFINITELY not my style of game; it’s turn-based, has a lot of menus, and seemingly relies upon tried-and-true combat within the genre which has been defined by games like this for decades. In fact, I saw noticeable games by the people who worked on it; Sengoku Basara, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Suikoden, etc. However, we also see that their expertise flows from games which are also completely unrelated: Bayonetta, Shadowverse, Okami, etc. So they’ve got veterans working on this game, meaning that it will more-or-less deliver on what it has promised.
While this game isn’t for me, and I definitely don’t care for the graphics; the story and how things pan out might make it interesting to keep an eye on in the future. I’ll give you more details as they appear, and who knows? Maybe more information will be just the lure needed to bring me to the fisherman’s hook.
