Battle Chasers: Nightwar, from the studio founded for its creation (Airship Syndicate), is a love letter to 16-bit era JRPGs, but also a revival of one of studio founder Joe Madureira’s most personal works. Battle Chasers is a cult-classic fantasy comic, and now it’s bound to become a cult classic RPG. The recently released game sports gorgeous visuals, great voice acting, and strategic turn-based combat to make a compelling experience that’s worth any fan of the genre’s time.
Comments
Only thing I don't completely agree with is the grind. I mean JRPGs have almost always been grindy. I think it's just how they are. How does the grind in this compare to, say, FF1? Or DW1? I'd say it's pretty.. not bad. I saw the grind mentioned elsewhere too. Contextually, though, I don't think it's that bad for anyone who's played any number of JRPGs (especially classic ones)

I heard that someone started this game a long time ago but never finished it.
I look at single player games,i feel like FFX is miles above this,i can't think about wasting my time away playing a far inferior old game.Point being ,i would rather replay FFX than this.
It has voice overs but all the still shots just makes the game look so old.
The Kickstarter started somewhere around 2015 so it is barely 2 years old.This is what i have been mentioning a lot,devs are aiming for cheaper game builds recently a couple years for a rpg,not enough effort and from a small team no doubt,so more like 1 year worth of work.
Apparently there is no overcharge abilities yet,seems a knockoff of FF overdrive ideas.
If you or i can look past the terrible cheap cutscenes it is ok,i mean it looks easily as good as say Zelda that received high scores,the same basic pastel/cartoon graphics.I realize it is based off an old comic book so yeah the graphics make some sense.
It comes close,i mean i am a JRPG fan but i still can't consider a purchase here.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Yup! You got it!
