RPG fans are in for some great news today as the critically acclaimed Battle Chasers: Nightwar has finally arrived on Google Play and the App Store after a pre-registration period. And don’t let the “mobile” tag fool you, this is a fully-fledged RPG in every sense of the world, sporting console-quality visuals and more than 30 hours’ worth of quality content.
Your adventure starts in a small town called Harm’s Way, where you are provided some basic gear and introduced to the game’s turn-based combat system. Soon enough, you’ll literally get out of Harm’s Way to, well, put yourself in harm’s way by traversing ancient dungeons, facing towering bosses, and slowly work your way toward becoming a legendary hero.
As you might expect from an RPG, there’s a gear-crafting system, plenty of NPCs to interact with, and even a fishing mini-game. The narrative, meanwhile, is based on “Battle Chasers”, a best-selling comic series from artist cum game developer Joe Madureira, so you are in for an enjoyable, epic story here.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar actually already received a port to Nintendo Switch last year, and it appears to have garnered a pretty dedicated player base on that platform. Critics were also equally happy with it – praising its visuals, combat system, and captivating old-school vibe. On mobile, however, we are somewhat concerned that it might eat through the battery of an average phone in a matter of minutes, given how massive the whole thing is. We’ll have to wait and see!
In any case, if you are into classic RPGs, you can get Battle Chasers: Nightwar on Google Play and the App Store right now for $9.99 (Rs 690). It might sound like a lot, but it’s actually a really nice deal since it costs a lot more than that on Steam and Switch.
