Below is an overview of the game:
Record of Grancrest War: Quartet Conflict is the new epic 3D hack-and-slash fantasy role-playing-game (RPG) based on the popular anime series, Record of Grancrest War, written by Ryo Mizuno, the acclaimed creator of the classic Record of Lodoss War series. Record of Grancrest War: Quartet Conflict is slated to launch as a free download on iOS and Android devices in fall 2018.
Originally published in 1986 as a transcript of Mizuno’s personal tabletop RPG sessions, Record of Lodoss War was eventually serialized, evolving into a series of high-fantasy light novels that has sold over 10 million copies since the first volume released in 1988. Record of Grancrest War serves as the spiritual successor to Mizuno’s original works of sword and sorcery, with Record of Grancrest War: Quartet Conflict commemorating the 30th anniversary of its novelization.
Record of Grancrest War: Quartet Conflict invites players to turn the tides of war and unite a divided continent via 3D, hack-and-slash combat. Each party is made up of four rotating characters from three distinct classes, each offering its own unique skills in battle: Lords, who power up their allies and summon reinforcements, Mages, who use devastating magic to quickly dispatch enemy hoards, and Artists, who can topple strong opponents with a combination of power and skill. Players can strategically switch between party members and utilize their strengths in harmony to charge their Quartet Gauge, then activate Quartet Mode to bring all four fighters into the fray simultaneously to overwhelm their foes!
In addition to giving players the opportunity to relive their favorite moments from the anime alongside characters such as Theo, Irvin, Siluca, and Aishela, Record of Grancrest War: Quartet Conflict introduces both original storylines and new characters into the Grancrest universe. Players can also participate in the ongoing Faction War, teaming up with other players to lend their might to the Fantasia Union or Factory Alliance and lay siege to each other’s holdings.
If you haven’t played it on the Japanese version, the game pretty much played like an ARPG. Players will be able to switch their characters around and control another that’s in your party. Pretty much played like Final Fantasy XV: Pocket Edition with the chibi characters. Each character based off the Record of Grancrest series will have their own unique skills whether it’s to deal damage or support the team.
There are also a total of 25 characters from the series that will be included and playable in the game. Players can tap to perform consecutive attacks and combos with team members. By taping and holding onto the character, it can unleash its skills upon the enemies. There are also other game modes like Boss Raids and Guild Battles as well if you want to take a break from the Story Mode.
