Kemco has officially announced its upcoming turn-based RPG, Astral Takers, set to debut on Nintendo Switch with a global release date of August 1, 2025.
Developed in collaboration with Vanguard, Astral Takers is the latest addition to Kemco’s renowned catalog of role-playing games for the Nintendo platform, continuing the company’s tradition of delivering engaging, strategy-driven experiences for RPG fans.
Astral Takers plunges players into the narrative of Revyse, an apprentice Summoner training under Master Volgrim.
The story quickly unfolds when Revyse crosses paths with Aurora, a mysterious girl who has lost her memory.
Together, they embark on a journey through unexplored dungeons and face a series of challenges that require the power of Summoning and strategic command in battles.
Vanguard’s new RPG integrates unique gameplay systems designed to appeal to both seasoned JRPG enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Players gain access to the "Summoning & Arrange System," enabling Revyse to harness Echostones to call forth heroic allies from other worlds.
The game features party customization, allowing up to eight characters with distinct abilities and skills, with the option to assemble a squad of four for dungeon expeditions.
This depth of character synergy ensures that strategic planning and party arrangement are crucial components for overcoming powerful foes.
Combat in Astral Takers emphasizes tactical decision-making through traditional turn-based, command-driven battles.
By predicting enemy moves and judiciously swapping party members during combat, players can leverage character affinities and skill sets for a competitive edge.
Furthermore, dungeons are filled with treasure chests containing valuable equipment and gold, rewarding thorough exploration.
For those facing particularly challenging adversaries, the game features robust trade and retreat systems.
Adventurers can collect in-game currency to purchase upgraded equipment or strategically retreat when battles become overwhelming, balancing risk and reward.
Kemco’s announcement included an official trailer, offering a glimpse at the game’s vibrant visuals and dynamic turn-based action.
Astral Takers will be available digitally via the Nintendo eShop for $19.99, with a special 10% launch discount available until August 14, 2025.
This release marks a significant milestone for both Kemco and Vanguard, building anticipation among fans of the genre and reaffirming Nintendo Switch’s position as a leading platform for immersive, story-driven RPGs.
