We first reported on Fire Emblem creator Shouzo Kaga’s new strategy RPG project, Vestaria Saga, three years ago and things are starting to shape up with the announcement of a Steam launch in 2019.
Here’s a look at a new announcement trailer for Vestaria Saga’s demo that releases today on Steam:
Vestaria Saga tells the story of international conflict between a powerful empire, and a small coastal kingdom. When an imperial ship is set ablaze near the port of Meleda, it sparks a cascade of events that thrusts young warrior Zadrian into a war for the soul and future of his kingdom. On the run from a vicious imperial force and short on allies, Zade and his small band of knights must make difficult decisions to ensure that Meleda’s princess, and the very future of its lineage, remain intact.
However, not everything is as it seems, and forces in the dark corners of the continent conspire. The stage is set, and the pieces have begun to move.
Vestaria Saga is a classically styled Strategy RPG, where positioning, movement, and even weaponry, are paramount to success. Move your heavily armed units around a classic styled grid-based map and engage pirates, rebels, monsters, imperial soldiers, and anyone else that stands in your way.
Features
- An enthralling campaign of espionage, international intrigue, and war written by veterans of the genre.
