Brigandine Abyss Channels Fire Emblem Through Its Veteran Staff
Brigandine Abyss is positioning itself as a Fire Emblem-like revival of a cult franchise, leveraging the talent behind Path of Radiance to attract tactical RPG fans.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
A feature on Brigandine Abyss highlights the involvement of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance director Masayuki Horikawa and composer Rei Kondoh, along with other series veterans. The tactical RPG borrows heavily from Fire Emblem's aesthetic and mechanics, including a blue-haired protagonist, laguz-like monsters, and grid-based combat. NIS America is publishing the game, which offers Story and Mission modes.
The promotional art for Brigandine Abyss mirrors Fire Emblem: Awakening's cover, with characters lunging from right to left. The game's monsters resemble the laguz from Path of Radiance, and its dragons under mind control echo Rajaion. Players choose from six nations, each with unique protagonists, then manage units and bases between battles. A Mission mode offers 24 nations with separate quests. The feature, based on a Discord preview of Story mode, confirms the Fire Emblem influence runs deep.
