Grand Kingdom (TRPG, Grand Knights History director) announced for PS4, Vita


#1

Famitsu this week reveals Grand Kingdom, a new tactical RPG for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita from Grand Knights History director Tomohiko Deguchi due out later this year in Japan.

Set in a royal fantasy world of swords and magic, players will wage turn-based battles by commanding their own mercenaries. Four major powers are competing for dominance, and the player can choose which country it would like its mercenary group to support.

Online multiplayer is supported (it’s actually listed as an “online RPG,” but also supports offline) against players belonging to any of the four major powers. There is also a system to expand your territory through repeated invasion and defense.

Grand Kingdom will also feature fully voiced characters and conversation scenes with various animations.

Our source notes that although the game is similar to Grand Knights History, there is no direct relation, story and system-wise.

The game’s staff is as follows:

  • Character Design – Chizu Hashii
  • Sound – Basiscape
  • Developer – MonoChro (Deguchi’s company)
  • Publisher – Spike Chunsoft
  • Development is currently 65 percent complete.

Tactical RPG releases have slowed down over the years. At least they’re still being made to some degree.

It’s difficult to tell what’s going on in that image. Maybe it is more obvious for people who played Grand Knight History.
