Aegis Force: The Scorian War Exceeds Kickstarter Goal, Eyes Nintendo Switch Release

Aegis Force: The Scorian War, a promising new turn-based tactical RPG from Utah-based indie developer Deseret Games Studio, has successfully concluded its Kickstarter campaign, significantly surpassing its funding target.

The project raised $11,140, far exceeding the initial $2,500 goal, underscoring a groundswell of support among fans of the tactical RPG genre.

Launched with an ambitious vision, Aegis Force: The Scorian War draws inspiration from genre-defining franchises such as Shining Force, Fire Emblem, and Final Fantasy Tactics.

By invoking these legendary titles, Deseret Games Studio aims to capture the essence of classic tactical RPGs while delivering a fresh experience for both longtime enthusiasts and new players. Aegis Force boasts vibrant pixel-art graphics, deep turn-based strategic combat, and elements of exploration and storytelling set within an intricately designed world.

According to the development team, the narrative centers on two nations locked in a century-long conflict—one fueled by magic, the other by technology.

As players journey across the war-torn continent of Ianua, they will recruit over 15 unique characters, including warriors, thieves, mages, and engineers.

Along the way, players will navigate complex choices and moral dilemmas, orchestrate heists, battle formidable monsters, uncover ancient artifacts, and untangle the mysteries of a history-shrouded land. Deseret Games Studio emphasized, in a clear team statement, that Aegis Force will challenge players with branching outcomes based on their decisions, enriching replayability and narrative depth.

The game’s storytelling is designed to keep players engaged, presenting plot twists and significant moral questions as they advance through the campaign. While Aegis Force: The Scorian War is initially scheduled for release on Steam, the studio is committed to expanding its availability to broader platforms.

Confirmed ports include Nintendo Switch, the upcoming Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, with a potential PS4 release under consideration.

However, console versions are planned to launch following the initial Steam release. With its successful Kickstarter campaign and ambitious platform plans, Aegis Force: The Scorian War stands poised to become a notable entry in the turn-based tactical RPG landscape.
