Nier creator Yoko Taro’s latest game is a card-based RPG launching just a few weeks away for PC, PlayStation 4 and Switch, on October 28.
Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is a swords-and-sorcery adventure with a significant dollop of Yoko Taro-ness on top. Following a protagonist who sets off to slay a dragon and save their people, everything from characters and battles to the environment itself are represented in card form.
Along the way, you’ll meet companions like the monster Mar and the witch Melanie, who holds a grudge against the dragon you’re out to kill. With them make important decisions that can have reaching consequences for the rest of your quest to kill the dragon.
The whole campaign is narrated by the “Game Master”, voiced Todd Haberkorn (Danganronpa’s Teruteru Hanamura and Korekiyo Shinguji), and attempts to recreate the feeling of a “traditional tabletop RPG” with turn-based combat, dice rolling, and choose-your-own-adventure storytelling on top of the board game aesthetic.
Also behind the scenes are numerous collaborators for Taro’s other work, including Nier’s executive producer Yosuke Saito and music director and composer Keiichi Okabe, and Drakengard’s character designer Kimihiko Fujisaka. The end result is a game that, while ditching Nier’s sci-fi elements for a straight fantasy story and also being drastically smaller in scale , feels very unmistakably like Taro’s previous games.
Available for preorder now, bonuses include a ‘Golden Dragon’ pattern for the reverse of every card, and a ‘Traditional Avatar’ that gives the board game piece that represents your party into a handmade wooden style. Fans of Nier may also be interested in a collection of seven Nier-themed DLC included in a special bundle, that crams the game full of costumes, avatars and music based on Nier Replicant. There’s even an avatar modelled after Nier’s Emil, who Yoko Taro famously dons a mask of whenever he gives interviews.
A demo is available now on the PlayStation Store and the Switch eShop. A PC demo was also meant to be available, however at the time of writing has not yet been published. The demo also serves as a prelude to the game itself, focusing on the ‘Ivory Order’ on the day before The Isle Dragon Roars’ story begins.
Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars launches on October 28 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
