Aegis Force: The Scorian War, the latest project from indie developer Deseret Games Studio, is officially headed to Nintendo Switch following the successful funding of its Kickstarter campaign.
Blending tactical RPG gameplay with a rich, emotionally-driven narrative, the title has quickly captured the attention of genre enthusiasts and Nintendo Switch users alike. The campaign for Aegis Force: The Scorian War launched with a modest funding goal of $2,500.
Remarkably, within just 24 hours of its launch, the target was surpassed—with the pledged amount already approaching $5,000.
This rapid funding demonstrates the strong demand for retro-inspired tactical RPGs reminiscent of classics such as Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Shining Force. Set across the embattled continent of Ianua, players guide a band of heroes through grid-based, turn-based battles.
Stepping into the role of Callon Roth, a skilled Tactimagus, players are tasked with guiding their growing roster of warriors, thieves, mages, and engineers through challenging scenarios.
The gameplay centers on thoughtful tactical decision-making, where every spell, ability, and alliance can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Aegis Force: The Scorian War draws inspiration from beloved RPGs of the 16 and 32-bit era, offering a 30-hour single-player campaign packed with cinematic storytelling and unexpected plot twists.
Players are invited to explore the continent, recruit over 15 unique characters, and customize their party to fit diverse combat strategies.
The game’s pixel art 2.5D visuals aim to provide a blend of nostalgia and modern flair, while a robust character promotion system gives players considerable freedom in shaping their team. Speaking on the game’s narrative ambitions, Deseret Games Studio emphasized the rich backstory and character relationships that drive the experience, noting that alliances forged during the campaign may change the course of the century-long Scorian War.
The developers promise a journey filled with political intrigue, alliance-building, and mystery as players unfold the forgotten origins of the conflict. Key features highlighted by Deseret Games Studio include emotionally-charged storytelling, strategic grid-based combat, a sizeable cast of recruitable allies, and deep customization options.
The world is inhabited by a variety of races and creatures, with the ever-present possibility of either ending the Scorian War or confronting an even greater threat. Aegis Force: The Scorian War is slated for release on Nintendo Switch, and fans can look forward to further updates as development continues.
For those interested, the official Kickstarter campaign is available for backers who want to support the project and join the vibrant Aegis Force community.
Gamers can also get a glimpse of the action through the newly released trailer on the campaign page. With its combination of tactical depth, gripping narrative, and retro-inspired design, Aegis Force: The Scorian War is positioning itself as a promising addition to the Nintendo Switch’s diverse RPG library.
