If you’ve got an interest in old-school JRPGs and/or
hulking leonine warriors, you might want to take a look at developer SEMISOFT’s
Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds.
After a successful Kickstarter campaign that ended last February, the game was just released this week on PC, and should also come out on the PS4, Xbox One,
and Nintendo Switch in the future. The developers describe the game as a “love
letter” to the classic JRPGs they grew up playing.

The game uses a blend of 3D graphics and hand-drawn 2D
backgrounds that can be quite eye-catching. In particular, I like the animated
character portraits that show up in dialogue sequences. When it comes to the
characteristic turn-based battles of every JRPG, Legrand Legacy includes a few
extra wrinkles. A simple button timing system determines if you receive certain
attack bonuses, and a front/back placement system helps differentiate between
melee and ranged characters. Additional gameplay elements include special
tactical scenarios and mini-games such as fishing. Overall, it seems like
there’s quite a variety of things to do in Legrand
Legacy. If you watch to check it out, you can visit their Steam store page here.
