Launching next week on Nintendo Switch is Illusion of L'Phalcia, an RPG which released on mobile devices back in 2014.

The game comes from Exe Create Inc. and Kemco and features animated skill chains and magic in turn-based 3D battles. We've got a description of the game's story for you below, as well as a trailer (admittedly for the PlayStation versions) above.

The Sword of Amal is said to grant any wish so long as it is provided magic power. Ryser believes in the sword's existence and is in the middle of searching for all the map pieces that lead to the sword when he runs into Tiana, a mysterious girl being chased by soldiers. Tiana assumes he is a thief that steals from ruins, and their relationship turns sour quick. She turns out to be the princess of Gardenia, the bordering nation, and is also looking for the Sword of Amal. What awaits these young heroes as they set off to look for the sword together? Thus begins the intertwining tale of three nations, an elusive organization, and the lives of everyone in the world!

It launches on 1st August for $12.99 / £11.69, but you can now get 10% off if you choose to pre-purchase the game ahead of release.
