The Kickstarter-backed indie RPG from the Philippines, Grand Guilds, will finally see a release this month on the Nintendo Switch and Steam.

The project was submitted on Kickstarter in April of last year and was fully backed by May 2019. Grand Guilds is being developed by Filipino studio, Drix Studios, which started off as a one-man development studio specialising in Flash games. The Nintendo Switch version will be handled by Keybol Games.

Grand Guilds is an epic fantasy set in Irin, a wartorn kingdom under the rule of the Triton Empire. Only the four guilds in the land can save Irin, and it is up to the protagonist Eliza, to gather allies in this war.

As Eliza, you and your allies can travel the world with an airship name Mami, where you’ll explore the lands of Irin, encounter sidequests and progress through the main story.

Combat can be described as a mix of the tactical warfare you’d find in the Final Fantasy Tactics, with the card-based combat system of Slay The Spire. So not only would you need to have effective positioning in battle, but also a good deck to survive the onslaught of enemies on the battlefield.

The game also boasts a robust character progression system, a rich story, and visual novel-style dialogues and cutscenes, akin to those found in the Fire Emblem series.

Overall, Grand Guilds is shaping up to be an epic RPG, if you’re interested in the game, there is a demo available for download.

Grand Guilds will be releasing on the Nintendo Switch, Steam, and the game subscription service Utomik on March 26. A PS4 and Xbox One release will follow soon.
