Battle Chasers Nightwar finally set for release on Switch this May

Originally due sometime in the middle of 2017, then later, and now much later, Battle Chasers: Nightwar finally has a Switch release date – May 15th, 2018.

Developers Airship Syndicate says that Battle Chasers: Nightwar pays homage to old-school, anime-inspired J-RPG games, and “combines dungeon crawling, turn-based combat and a rich story”.

It was one of the first Switch games announced from THQ Nordic in the first Direct after the Switch release. Finally, it’s on the way.

The game will be out on the eShop, as well as in stores.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar is an RPG inspired by the classic console greats, featuring deep dungeon diving, turn-based combat presented in a classic JRPG format, and a rich story driven by exploration of the world. It features classic turn-based combat with a unique overcharge mana system and incredible Battle Bursts. Players can explore beautiful, randomly-generated dungeons loaded with traps, puzzles, secrets and loot and an overworld peppered with hidden dungeons, rare bosses and randomly appearing friends and foes. Build your adventuring party by choosing three of six available heroes from the classic Battle Chasers comic series, each with unique abilities, perks, items and dungeon skills.
