Guard Break

Guard Break is a low-poly JRPG tribute to the classics of the '90s- blending nostalgic visuals and sound, snappy turn-based combat, and a multi-character-driven story.

Under the reign of King Augustus, the mighty Kingdom of Arcadia stood strong. But as the old king fades and his son steps forward, a mysterious terrorist group named Chimera emerges from the shadows with a plan that threatens the realm- and beyond

Play as a team of Arcadian agents and allies, each with unique stories, strengths, and struggles, as they uncover Chimera’s motives and fight to stop a looming catastrophe.

Key Features:

• Classic JRPG Atmosphere: A homage to 32-bit JRPGs of the late 1990s, featuring visuals and music inspired by the era.
• 10-15 Hour Campaign: A story-driven adventure without filler, delivering a well-paced plot designed to keep you engaged from start to finish.
• Multiple Protagonists: No single 'main character'. Experience the story through an ensemble cast, each with unique backgrounds, skills, weapon types, and personal arcs.
• Bond System: All the protagonists have interwoven relationship bonds that shift based on your dialogue choices. Favouring one ally may disappoint another, creating a careful balancing act. Stronger bonds yield extra combat perks.
• Visible Encounters: No random battles- spot enemies on the field and choose when to engage. Battles feature fast, turn-based combat with a clear move queue for strategic planning.
• Guard Break Mechanic: Enemies have points tied to specific weaknesses- focus on those to 'Guard Break' them, leaving them vulnerable for the rest of the battle.
