Ender Lilies Dev Announces Redemption Reapers, A New “Dark Fantasy Tactical RPG” Coming Early 2023

If you’re a fan of tactical RPGs, you’ll want to take note of Redemption Reapers, coming to Switch in February 2023.

This dark fantasy tactical RPG developed by Adglobe and Binary Haze Interactive (ENDER LILIES: Quiet of the Knights) was brought to life by industry luminaries such as Masayuki Horikawa, known for working on the Fire Emblem series as a director and level writer, and also for planning Kingdom Hearts III.

Here’s a bit of the story and what to expect from the gameplay, courtesy of the PR:

Hope fades across the land following the sudden appearance of Mort’s ruthless armies. As efficient as they are brutal, the macabre forces descend on civilizations, leaving destruction in the wake of their nightly raids. As entire nations fall to the Mort onslaught, the Ashen Hawk Brigade, a contingent of mercenaries who specialize in surprise tactics, unite to strike back against the invading legions.

Lead the Ashen Hawk Brigade in tactical skirmishes on 3D maps. Employ strategic moves, directing units across the battlefield before issuing commands to attack, defend or deploy abilities during each turn. Overcome seemingly insurmountable odds by mastering sneak attacks for extra damage or powerful combo attacks from multiple members of your brigade.

Make sure every member of the brigade is ready for the trials ahead by equipping the party with powerful gear. Transform your hard-earned loot of victory into resources to craft powerful weapons and armor. Upgrade skills to unlock combat skills that can transform a ragtag troop of underdogs into brave champions.

Sculpt the Mort and uncover a gripping and mature story of wartime struggle. Witness powerful moments unfold among the members of the Brigade during blaring cutscenes (recorded in English and Japanese audio) as the combatants learn more about their allies and the world around them. Lead the Ashen Hawk Brigade’s rise from obscurity to folk heroes as members face their dark past as a deadly and scorned organization dubbed the “Faithless Reapers”.

It will also feature a “star-studded” voice cast including Kyle McCarley, Allegra Clark, David Lodge and Lucien Dodge. These people have contributed to series such as 13 sentries, NieR: automatons, Dragon Age, Person 5, Final Fantasy XVFire Emblem and the Trails series.
