Square Enix has announced that their latest game, a new and eccentric card-based RPG, Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars will be releasing for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam) on October 28, 2021.
The creative team of the beloved Nier and Drakengard series, Creative Director Yoko Taro (NieR and Drakengard), Executive Producer Yosuke Saito (NieR), Music Director Keiichi Okabe (Drakengard 3 and NieR) and Charcter Designer Kimihiko Fujisawa (Drakengard), this unique way of RPG storytelling will set your imagination ablaze!
Set in a world long ago, and shrouded in mystery in Voice of Card: The Isle of Dragons players will be guided by the voice of the Game Master (Voiced in English by Todd Haberkorn). In a world full of weapons and magic, this story is told entirely through the use of cards. Players will be following the protagonist as he goes through his journey to defeat the reawakened Dragon that threatens his people’s land, to try and secure a huge reward. Being joined by his companions; a monster named Mar who’s very attached to him, and a black witch named Melanie with a huge grudge against the Dragon. Players will be able to make choices during the story and join in turn-based combat in the field as well as in dungeons that will make you feel like you’re playing a traditional tabletop RPG!
