The upcoming RPG Chasing KaleidoRider (チェイシング・カレイドライダー), developed by Fizzglee Studio—a subsidiary of Tencent Games – has officially begun its closed beta testing (CBT). Participants who previously signed up for the opportunity are now receiving invitations, granting them a first-hand look at the game’s unique blend of “Doki-Doki” romance, turn-based combat, and high-speed motorcycle action.
Fizzglee Studio has been building interest for Chasing KaleidoRider for several months, with a previous closed beta test conducted exclusively for Japanese players to gather initial feedback. The current, wider CBT is a crucial phase for the developers to stress-test the game’s servers, refine its combat mechanics, and ensure a smooth user experience.
The game is set in the futuristic city of “Terminus,” which is plagued by a mysterious anomaly known as “Hysteria”—creatures born from humanity’s negative consciousness. Players assume the role of a “Navigator,” a key figure who possesses the power to see and combat these threats, as they lead a team of beautiful girls known as “RIDERS” into battle.
The game stands out from other gacha RPGs with its core gameplay loop. It comes with… real-time motorcycle chases with strategic, turn-based battles. Each RIDER girl is not only a combat unit but also a potential romantic interest, with relationships and intimate interactions directly impacting gameplay.
According to the official Japanese announcement by Dengeki Online, the game’s “Doki-Doki RPG” elements are central to its design, allowing players to unlock special powers and new story chapters by deepening their bonds with the characters. The game’s stunning 3D anime-style visuals and a soundtrack featuring popular artists like 96neko have further amplified fan excitement.
While the current test is limited to a select group of players on Android and iOS devices, the game will be available on PC too. You can get more on their Discord Channel.
