Publisher Firesquid and developer Angel Corp announced that the strategy RPG Blade Prince Academy will be released for PC via Steam on March 7. Here’s an overview of the game, according to its Steam page:
About the game: Take control of a squad of Princes of the Sword, highly trained warriors who combine their skills to create devastating combos, defeating their enemies. The students at Sword Prince Academy must protect the city of Abjectalia from all types of threats, while balancing their academic and social lives. Manage your time between battle and study so your lives don’t fall into chaos!
Pause, Strategy, Execution: Using Blade Prince Academy’s “true real-time with pause” combat system, freeze time to plan your squad’s actions and determine the best sequence of attacks for the perfect combo. Inflict status afflictions that weaken enemies over time while dodging attacks and spells to keep the fight going. Push enemies into unfavorable positions and use the environment against them – the possibilities are yours to create.
Discover the Academy of Princes of the Sword: The Academy is where Sword Princes learn new skills, rest between battles, and socialize. Social relationships grow as you guide team members to become more comfortable with each other and new heroes join. Before heading out on another mission, learn about the events in Abjectalia and prepare your squads’ abilities for the upcoming assault.
Build your Squad: Throughout your adventure, assemble a cast of different heroes, each with unique strengths, weaknesses, and stories. Discover how they perform in combat and adapt your squad to your play style, or progress relationships between your favorites. Use all the skills and combos at your disposal and form dark pacts to help each other survive the darkest corners of the city together.
