Talerock’s Grimshade is a brand new IP launching digitally for the Nintendo Switch come June 25th. It’s just a couple days away from release, and a launch trailer was rolled out that’s just under a minute long, featuring snippets of gameplay from the turn-based role-playing game.
The 3D, hand-painted turn-based RPG puts players in the role of a band of adventurers who must fight to free their world of Ree’Fah from tyranny. You’ll need to gather your party and attempt to free the kingdom from a menacing invasion that has turned the local towns into battlefields.
You can check out the launch trailer for the game below, which features snippets of gameplay from the combat and overworld exploration.
I noticed that the chick was wearing sexy clothing, with stirrups and cross-thigh straps holding up some black panties. It’s nice that Talerock has some female fan-service in the game, because as we all know it’s become an endangered feature in Western-made games.
The turn-based battles are reminiscent to classic JRPGs, where each party member takes turns carrying out an action, leveling enemies with magic, or using tactical positioning to gain the upperhand.
You’ll have seven characters to bring into your fold, and the ability to make use of a character development system based on the items you equip rather than stacking stats to make them invincible.
The highlight is that you can’t just rely on a single party build to skate your way through the game. You’ll have to mix, match, swap, and alter your loadout to maximize your effectiveness during each battle.
Grimshade originally came out back in the spring of 2019 on Steam for PC, but if you wanted to get your hands on the game for the Nintendo Switch, you’ll be able to do so later this week. The user reviews for the Steam version of the game are mostly positive, so Talerock took that as a sign that they were doing right by gamers. The console version modifies the controls to take advantage of the Nintendo Switch’s JoyCons, while also optimizing the performance for Nintendo’s little console that could.
