I have been waiting for this game a long time. Fans of tactical RPGs, Sword of Convallaria is finally set to launch on PC and mobile on July 31st, 2024. This fantasy tactical RPG promises to deliver an epic adventure as players embark on a monumental quest to rescue the nation of Iria.
What do we know about this new game, well, Sword of Convallaria blends classic Japanese turn-based tactical RPG elements with neo-pixel visuals, offering a seamless fusion of old-school RPG design and modern graphical enhancements. Players will build a team of allies, each with unique abilities, to engage in strategic grid-based battles against rival factions. The game’s intricate combat system requires meticulous strategy, empowering players to unleash devastating attacks and conquer a diverse range of adversaries.
The game’s combat features grid-based encounters across varied terrains. Terrain differences such as cliffs and boulders create buffs and debuffs, enriching tactical options. Players can lure enemies into a line and roll stones over them or knock strong foes into water or off the map for instant terrain kills.
Sword of Convallaria’s profound storyline is driven by player agency, with the narrative unfolding based on your decisions and achievements. The fate of Iria changes depending on the choices you make, promising a rich and immersive experience with 120 hours of single-player gameplay (that is a lot). Players can recruit and train a roster of unique companions, build their equipment, improve their stats, and lead their custom-built mercenary group into legendary quests involving different factions.
The game boasts a interesting soundtrack composed by legendary video game music producer Hitoshi Sakimoto, known for his work on beloved titles like Final Fantasy Tactics and Valkyria Chronicles. Additionally, a star-studded voice cast, including Kazuhiko Inoue, Aoi Yūki, and Takuya Eguchi, brings the characters of Iria to life with captivating performances.
