Item Description

Nobody in Grand Kingdom fights for a flag. A century after the fall of the Uldein Empire, the four great nations of the Resonail continent, Landerth, Fiel, Valkyr and Magion, wage their wars with hired swords instead of loyal knights, and you take charge of one of those mercenary bands. You sign contracts, chase coin, build up a company of soldiers and slowly piece together what really brought the old empire down. It is a clever premise for a tactical RPG, because it gives you permission to play every side, and Monochrome built the whole game around the satisfaction of running a crew you recruited, outfitted and kept alive yourself.

Missions play out on a board-game map where your squad moves as a single piece along a web of paths, with a limited number of turns to reach the objective and enemy patrols, traps, treasure and sudden hazards in the way. When pieces collide, the view drops into a side-on battlefield split into three lanes. Each mercenary spends a gauge to move, switch lanes and strike, and many attacks run on timing: stop the meter in the sweet spot to land an archer's volley or a mage's spell, string hits together for combo bonuses, and watch out for friendly fire when your shots cross your own front line. Parking a healer behind a sturdy knight, or slipping a ranged unit into a lane the enemy can't reach, is the kind of small decision that turns a fight.

The roster is where the hours vanish. More than a dozen classes, spanning melee brawlers, knights, archers, mages and medics, can be hired, named, recolored and specialized as they level, so two soldiers of the same class can grow into very different tools. Gear, formations and squad composition all matter, and the Western release adds the four Great Nation campaigns, sold as paid add-ons in Japan, to the main mercenary story, following the struggle between the nations from different angles. The anime-style art is lush and storybook-bright, with painterly backdrops and expressive character portraits.

Grand Kingdom reached the West in 2016 through NIS America on PS4 and PS Vita, and it was built around an online war in which players pledged their squads to a nation and fought over territory. The campaigns are where its substance lives, though, and they hold a surprising amount of depth. It slipped past a lot of players at release, which is exactly what makes it such a satisfying find now: a squad-building strategy game with the stat-tinkering appeal of Disgaea, a board-game twist all its own and a mercenary company you will end up caring about far more than you expect.

About the game

After the fall of the once-prosperous Uldein Empire over one hundred years ago, the Four Great Nations now wage war to claim dominion over the Resonail continent. Battles are no longer fought by honorable knights loyal to a nation, but by mercenaries who sell their services to the highest bidder. As the leader of a mercenary squad, the player will lead their troops across a battle-scarred continent, overcoming obstacles and adversaries as they complete quests doled out by each nation. In doing so, they will unravel the mystery behind the downfall of a mighty empire. With an impressive battle system that combines fast-paced action with strategic planning, and featuring robust character creation and customization options, Grand Kingdom is a Tactical RPG the likes of which has never been seen before. Assemble a squad of mercenaries, form an exclusive contract with one of the Four Great Nations, and participate in war with other players online for the future of Resonail. But remember- in this new age of war, there is only room for one Grand Kingdom.
