Endless Grades: Pixel Saga, a nostalgic pixel art RPG by Lightcore Games, is now officially available for players in Japan on iOS and Android. The turn-based fantasy RPG, originally launched globally—including an English version—on December 4, 2023, finally makes its long-awaited debut in the Japanese market as of July 29, 2025.

Despite already reaching international audiences, the Japanese release brings a localized experience tailored for the region. Alongside the launch, version 1.3.3 was rolled out on July 28, 2025, introducing key improvements such as optimized server performance and changes to Divine Tournament access, enhancing gameplay stability and competitiveness.

Celebrate With “Get All Heroes” and Massive Launch Bonuses

To commemorate the launch in Japan, Lightcore Games has kicked off a generous event titled “Get All Heroes.” Simply by logging in daily, players can obtain a variety of Heroic Spirits, including powerful SSR characters, for free. This makes it significantly easier for newcomers to build an impressive roster right from the start.

In addition to daily logins, exclusive Japanese bonuses include permanent benefits like 1,000 free gacha spins, 100,000 diamonds, and guaranteed SSR characters every ten pulls. These rewards are aimed at helping beginners gain momentum quickly in their early progression.

Pre-Registration Rewards and Limited Edition Items

Players who pre-registered for the Japanese release are now receiving a variety of rewards. These include the Light Attribute SSR Heroic Spirit “Knight of Oath, Tyr”, valued at approximately 2,000 yen. Additionally, players receive a limited-edition yukata costume, “Fireworks First Encounter,” inspired by traditional Japanese summer festivals, worth around 4,000 yen.

Other early-game support items include 1,000 diamonds and a training item pack, collectively valued at 2,800 yen. These provide a substantial head start for any new player looking to dive into the world of Endless Grades: Pixel Saga right from Day One.

Game Overview and Features

Set in a fantasy pixel-art world, Endless Grades: Pixel Saga features a blend of idle RPG mechanics, turn-based combat, and deep character training systems.
