“I’m a vampire! Boo!” Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs – Royal Edition announced for consoles

Well, this sounds pretty fun.

Pixelated Milk, a Polish development studio, announce that their tactics-based RPG game Regalia will be coming to all three major consoles (PS4, Xbox One and Switch) in early 2018. The game sports Disgaea-inspired tactical combat, and an unusual story line revolving around the player trying to get the royal family out of debt after things in their kingdom have gone financially awry. I’m a long-time fan of tactical RPGs, going all the way back to Vandal Hearts on the PS1. Games in the genre, if done right, can cause hours of my life to just bleed away.

Developed after a successful $90,000 Kickstarted campaign, the game has been available on Steam and GOG since early 2017. Recent reviews show a “Very Positive” rating on Steam. Regalia sports a varied cast of colorful characters, and there is a level of social relationship-building at play between them, ala Fire Emblem.  There also seems to be financial management element to the game, while the player tries to rebuild the financial stability of the kingdom they rule.

For a Kickstarted based indie RPG, this all seems pretty ambitious. I haven’t had a chance to check this out on Steam yet, but this game seems like an awesome fit for Switch. I look forward to taking a look at it when it releases, and will post any further news as it develops.
