April 6, 2016

NIS America has released some new details and a few new screenshots for their upcoming strategy RPG Grand Kingdom and the focus of this information happen sto be on introducing the various class types and classes that players will be able to make in the game. There are three basic class types to choose from, Melee, Ranged, and Magic with each role being strong or weak against another as well as specialists in each field as well as specialists.

You can check out the details for the classes as well as the new screenshots for Grand Kingdom below:

Melee units are characterized by their high attack and defense, and specialize in close combat. They also have the ability to Guard, which negates all damage up to a certain point. Melee units have low magic defense, so caution is recommended when facing enemy Magic units.
Ranged units can attack from anywhere on the battlefield. With their extended attack range, they can disrupt enemies at the back of the formation who are charging magical attacks. However, Ranged units have low defense, so it’s important to position them such that can’t be dragged into close combat.
Magic units have medium attack range, and use ranged attacks that can affect multiple enemies. Some of their more powerful skills must be charged before they can be used, leaving them vulnerable to disruption from an enemy’s ranged attack.
Specialist units don’t quite fit into any of the other three roles in battle. These units have individualized abilities that can be a great asset in battle, but their specialized nature affords little room for flexibility

Back in the early 2000s Koei Tecmo experimented with a couple of Dynasty Tactics games and it seems that they are going to be revisiting that a little bit as this week’s issue of Famitsu has revealed that Koei Tecmo and Omega Force are working on a new game called Dynasty Warriors: Eiketsuden, a strategy RPG that will be released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PS Vita in Japan sometime this year.

Dynasty Warriors: Eiketsuden will feature Zhao Yun as the protagonist and players will need to move their units around on a grid as the game will play as a simulation RPG with players only controlling one military commander unit at a time. When encountering enemies on the map the game will revert to the standard Warriors battle scenes though it is currently unknown if players will have control during these action scenes.

At the moment it is confirmed that obviously Zhao Yun will be making an appearance, Lei Bin (Zhao Yun’s childhood friend), and a new mystery girl who is found sealed in a shrine named Li Xia will be in the game as well as a number of other big name commanders from the Three Kingdoms games such as Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Sun Jian, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and more.

Console and PC players can now enjoy substantial new additions to the game.

Players will be able to drive the vintage full gravel surface at Pikes Peak for the first time in the game and three of Colin McRae’s most iconic liveries will enable them to relive the exploits of a legendary rally champion.

Fans who pre-ordered will get the day one DLC unlock that sports a limited run DiRT Rally Legend Edition, which includes both the Fully Loaded MINI Pack and Fully Loaded Ford Pack, which also unlocks and fully upgrades the MINI Cooper S and Ford Escort MK2 from the start of the game, gives an exclusive livery for the cars and provides a unique team mechanic with perks.
