Grand Knights History director announces tactical RPG Grand Kingdom for PS4, PS Vita

Famitsu this week reveals Grand Kingdom, a new tactical RPG for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita from Grand Knights History director Tomohiko Deguchi due out later this year in Japan.

Set in a royal fantasy world of swords and magic, players will wage turn-based battles by commanding their own mercenaries. Four major powers are competing for dominance, and the player can choose which country it would like its mercenary group to support.

Online multiplayer is supported (it’s actually listed as an “online RPG,” but also supports offline) against players belonging to any of the four major powers. There is also a system to expand your territory through repeated invasion and defense.

Grand Kingdom will also feature fully voiced characters and conversation scenes with various animations. The following characters have been announced:

Gladius Ringland (voiced by Ryoka Yuzuki)
Preshia Tera (voiced by Miho Arakawa)
Julius Wiseman (voiced by Shintaro Asanuma)
Grahm Berngaldo (voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda)
Our source notes that although the game is similar to Grand Knights History, there is no direct relation, story and system-wise.

The game’s staff is as follows:

Character Design – Chizu Hashii
Sound – Basiscape
Developer – MonoChro (Deguchi’s company)
Publisher – Spike Chunsoft
Development is currently 65 percent complete.

Grand Kingdom Looks Like Grand Knights History With Tactical Elements

Spike Chunsoft recently announced that they’re working on a new tactical RPG with Grand Knights History director Tomohiko Deguchi, called Grand Kingdom. Here’s a look at the game’s first trailer.

The trailer introduces a bit of the game’s story and how it takes place in a fantasy world full of swords and magic, where you’ll send mercenaries out into combat. We get a look at some of the characters that will fight alongside your party as part of the four powers.

You’ll play throughthe story parts of the game offline, with gameplay action shown at the 0:55 mark of the video. While the game is mainly all about the strategic gameplay, there are also some action elements that look fast-paced, too.

As previously reported, the battles are turn-based, but you’ll need to put a lot of thought into your positioning. Depending on how you enter commands, you’ll also pull off combos as part of the mix of skills you dish out to the enemies.

The game has online features that will revolve around having players go against others from the different factions. There will be some sort of territory-expanding features, as well as attacking others and defending yourself from enemy invasions.

Grand Kingdom is currently in development for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.
