Developer Playdek launched the Kickstarter campaign today for Unsung Story: Tale of the Guradians, along with Yasumi Matsuno, designer of tactical RPGs such as Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story.

Unsung Story, a card game, was announced at Tokyo Game Show last year, and Matsuno has been open about his plans to "re-imagine" the class-based tactical RPG using the same IP. The game's Kickstarter page describes Tales of the Guardians as a series of tales following several heroes in the fantasy world of Rasfalia, with each character constituting a different player class.Originally planned for release on mobile devices, Tales of the Guardians will release on Mac and PC this year, and Playdek hopes to bring the game to Nintendo 3DS and PS Vita as well, pending Kickstarter stretch goals.As of this writing, Unsung Story has reached more than $87,000 of its $600,000 goal.
