Choose your path to victory!
A new “Tactical Strategic RPG” has been announced by the publishers over at Japan-based Gravity Game Arise. The game is called Live By The Sword: Tactics and it promises to bring a “modern twist on the classic tactical RPG.”
The game is set to be released sometime in September 2022, with more details to come. The game will focus heavily on strategy and tactics, and your choices are bound to be important when you can only field one character of each class.
Check out the game’s announcement trailer below, followed by an overview of the title.
Live By The Sword: Tactics is an unashamedly old school tactical RPG with modern gameplay ideas. Set after the fall of the land, you control two brothers who must traverse the kingdom to stop it from falling back into the darkness of conflict. It’s a journey that will test their brotherly bond and the player’s tactical skills as they form a team and go on this heroic quest.
The game is a new take on Tactical / Strategy gameplay. Characters do not gain experience points and you cannot collect overpowered equipment to easily bypass difficult fights. You, the player, must become more skilled to achieve victory. Are you up for the challenge of becoming a true Tactician?
