Today’s news was accompanied by a new trailer showcasing the noble, thoughtful and perhaps slightly cruel journey you’ll take across the galaxy. Sometimes you’ll take that journey on an alpaca, and that is never a bad thing:
Sail the stars as Virgo, the Holy Queen– a powerful, magical Zodiac with an unyielding desire for order. Her quest to restore the cosmos is a righteous one: bring back the Golden Age of the Zodiac Realms, a period of peace and balance. Some might call this quest unforgiving, and even twisted, but those heretics don’t know what they’re talking about. She is definitely the hero of this story.
Your road won’t be easy. Virgo Versus The Zodiac utilizes precision timing combat elements to add an additional layer of skill to its classic JRPG-inspired gameplay. Learn your enemies, counter their attacks and time your holy strikes correctly to smash through their defenses. Virgo Versus The Zodiac also forgoes random encounters, instead opting for bespoke, unforgiving battles designed specifically for your quest.
This journey through the Zodiac Realms will take you across diverse locations, where you’ll cross paths with a colorful cast of fellow Zodiacs–erstwhile lovers, friends and eternal foes who each have their own intentions. Yet, tread carefully, as your decisions in these encounters will shape the fate of the cosmos. Oh, there’s also a shoot ’em up mode if you’re in the mood. Just in case.
This release brings new content to Virgo Versus The Zodiac. Boss rush mode will challenge expert players with overhauled bosses and enemies, putting your knowledge of the Zodiac and your reflexes to the test. Zodiac Memories shed light on a few enigmatic figures, opening up new playable chapters for Aquarius, Gemini, Libra and Scorpio.
