Publisher Plug In Digital and developer Cardboard Utopia announces the recent project of a tactical storyteller, Children of Zodiarcs coming to Xbox One and Switch this coming March 27. Previously this game was released back in 2017 for PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam.
Reclaim your legacy and freedom
Join Nahmi and her fellow outcasts are forced to fight for freedom using a brand new deck and dice-based combat system to strike a blow to the corrupted noble Lords’ and Ladies’ unquenchable thirst for profit. The game is a single-player JRPG, combining both traditional strategic gameplay with the thrill of collectible cards and craftable dice!
Tactical features as presented in Steam:
Combat Cards
Each of your party members’ attacks & abilities is bound to combat cards. Drawing different cards during battle provides you with ever-changing combat possibilities every time you fight!
Empower Cards through Dice
Once you’ve chosen your attack, physics-based dice allow you to roll for bonuses! Favoring symbols over numbers, these dice deliver an attack, defense, healing, and special ability modifiers.
Influencing Lady Luck
To add yet more layers of stratagem to Children of Zodiarcs, you can craft dice to favor your play style, and re-roll up to two dice every time you throw. You need not fear to be at Lady Luck’s mercy!
A World Full of Characters
Along the way you’ll come to learn about Nahmi – stolen from her homeland as a child, Brice – forced to survive on the mean streets of Torus; Zirchhoff – a charismatic bandit leader who employs young orphans to do his bidding: as well as many more mischief-makers.
Building Decks
Each playable character comes with their own customizable deck. This allows you to tailor their skillset to the types of attacks and abilities you want to have in your hand during the heat of combat.
A Fully Orchestrated Score
Children of Zodiarcs’ music captures the feel of tactical RPG classics with its fully orchestrated soundtrack composed by the award-winning team at Vibe Avenue.
