Item Description

Mercenaries make for interesting heroes, because their loyalty always comes with a price. The DioField Chronicle builds its war story around the Blue Foxes, a mercenary company bound to the Kingdom of Alletain, and the four very different leaders who hold it together: Andrias Rhondarson, a royal bodyguard versed in ancient sorcery; his childhood friend Fredret Lester; Iscarion Colchester, an archer and former noble; and Waltaquin Redditch, a noblewoman mage. With the Trovelt-Schoevian Empire having already crushed the Rowetale Alliance and now turning its eyes toward Alletain, the Blue Foxes are pulled from paid contracts into the politics of a kingdom fighting for its survival.

Square Enix co-developed the game with Lancarse, the studio that previously partnered with Atlus on Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, and the result is a strategy RPG that refuses to sit still. Its Real-Time Tactical Battle system, a name that nods to Final Fantasy's Active Time Battle, drops the familiar grid in favor of free movement across the battlefield. Units are directed in real time, positioning matters from the first skirmish, and missions range from routing an enemy force to defending a stronghold, escorting an ally and capturing key points. Skill points earned after each sortie let you shape every character's abilities between battles.

The presentation carries serious pedigree. The score comes from Ramin Djawadi and Brandon Campbell, both of whom worked on Game of Thrones, and it gives the campaign the brooding orchestral weight of prestige television. Character designs are by Taiki, with character art from longtime Final Fantasy artist Isamu Kamikokuryo, and the world blends fantasy, medieval and more modern influences into a setting with a look of its own.

Critics were divided when it launched in 2022, and the reasons are easy to see: it plays faster and looser than the turn-based tactics many expected from Square Enix. That same pace is its appeal. Battles reward quick reads of the field rather than slow deliberation, and the Blue Foxes' slide from hired swords to defenders of a kingdom gives the campaign a satisfying arc. On Switch it sits apart from the grid-based tactics games around it, a Square Enix experiment in real-time strategy that is well worth discovering.
