An epic new strategy RPG has arrived — The DioField Chronicle Available now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S! The game is set in an exciting world full of intrigue, turmoil and strategic battles. It also features stunning visuals and music. Whether you’re an experienced SRPG veteran or brand new to the genre, you’ll find a lot to enjoy here. Read on and I’ll tell you six key things you need to know about it.
The epic and sweeping story of war, honor and the struggle for freedom is told in this book.
If you like games with sweeping, hard-hitting stories, you’ll love The DioField Chronicle. This game takes place in an original world which combines fantasy, medieval, and modern-day elements. This land is not a peaceful one – the entire continent has been ravaged by a devastating war between the Empire and the Alliance. Despite this turmoil, one nation has remained unaffected – the Kingdom of Alletain on DioField Island.
Alletain is rich in Jade – a precious material that’s prized for its use as a base ingredient in sorcery. This valuable material will draw the attention of the public. Empire and Alliance are escalating their conflict and both sides turn their attention to the island. War is coming to DioField… with the Kingdom of Alletain caught in the middle.
Blue Fox is a mercenary elite that emerges from the chaos and flames. This small group of warriors will come to shape the fate of DioField… and the world itself. It’s an expansive tale that’s full of drama and epic moments… but it also remembers that it’s the characters that really matter. Speaking of which…
It’s full of memorable characters
As the Blue Fox mercenaries you control and guide these heroes, who are flawed but fascinating throughout many of their battles. We’ll now introduce our four leaders of the team.
Andrias Rhondarson
Andrias has a calm and cool personality. He is a resourceful leader. He is an expert in strategy and tactics.
As a child, he attracted the attention of a nobleman. He recognized his uniqueness. After training as a soldier, he became the chamberlain for Prince Levantia Shaytham and his bodyguard.
But when disaster strikes and Levantia is attacked by assassins, Andrias’ life is thrown into turmoil – and a new path presents itself.
Fredret Lester
Fredret is so big, buff, and burly that you might assume he’d serve as an infantryman. He instead uses his riding abilities to freely ride around on horses and enjoys the freedom of being a horseman.
He’s known Andrias since childhood, and the two have gone through many life-threatening situations together. They share an almost unbreakable bond of brotherhood.
Fredret is kind-hearted, honest, and direct – something people admire him for. However, he’s also a little naïve, perhaps due to his upbringing in the countryside. He also tends to become obsessed with the things he’s passionate about.
Iscarion Colchester
Iscarion Colchester is a prodigiously talented archer – something that serves him well as a mercenary.
Of course, he wasn’t always a Blue Fox. Iscarion was the son of a minor noble and he joined the Colchester tradition to become a knight. He was forced to leave after a tragic event and became a knight-errant.
While he might seem distant, he won’t ignore anyone in dire need. Because of this, he’s greatly respected by those he commands.
Waltaquin Whiteditch
Waltaquin began her interest in magic as a child and spent a lot of time studying Ancient Sorcery. Now, she’s a magicker beyond compare.
As the daughter of one of Suffield’s most prominent noblemen, she’s been spoiled her entire life – and has the attitude to match. While she is arrogant and self-centered, her intelligence and grace cannot be denied.
You’ll become intimately acquainted with all these characters – and many more – over the course of this epic story. Their struggles become your struggles, and by the end they’ll feel like family.
The exciting Real-Time Tactical Battle System is introduced.
But enough about story – how does the game actually play? The DioField ChronicleThe dynamic battle system combines command-based and real-time strategies. It’s called the Real-Time Tactical Battle system and it makes for fast-paced, richly strategic battles that require you to be attentive and adaptable to prevail.
While you have the option to pause the game in order to issue orders or ponder your strategies, all actions take place live. Unlike many other strategy RPGs, enemies don’t sit around twiddling their thumbs while your troops execute your commands – they’ll move as you do.
The battlefield is also full of ‘gimmicks’ – from turrets, to barricades, to exploding kegs, that both you and the enemy can take advantage of. This makes it a highly unpredictable battlefield where battle flows constantly.
As with all great tactics games, planning is important. However, you must be flexible and adaptable. It is possible for a strategy that worked at the beginning of a battle to lose its effectiveness when enemies change their positions. Therefore, you should always be prepared with an alternative plan.
It’s an audio-visual treat
The action is set in beautiful environments with diorama-style visuals. Not only is it stunning to look at – particularly in 4K on Xbox Series X|S – it gives the game a unique look that’s entirely its own!
The audio side is equally impressive, thanks to be beautifully orchestrated music by world-renowned composers Ramin Djawadi Brandon Campbell – best known for their work on “Game of Thrones.” It’s a feast for the eyes and Your ears. But don’t take my word for it…
