If you’re unsure about getting Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia, you can try out the demo, now available on the Nintendo Switch! You can finally get reacquainted with the Brigandine series after 20 years prior to its 25 June launch date on the Nintendo eShop worldwide.
You can currently preorder the digital version of Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia through the Nintendo eShop. If you fancy a physical edition, then you can obtain a limited edition one through Limited Run Games, from 1 May to 7 June. The Collector’s edition will include a reversible 18” x 24” poster, original soundtrack CD, Gustava emblem pin, housed in a custom box. A standard edition is also available.
The Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia demo has two key modes to select from for either new players looking for a new fantasy strategy RPG, or for returning fans of the classic Brigandine series:
- Training mode
- Comes with a tutorial on troop movement, invading bases and combat
- Trial mode
- Take on the role of Brigandine of Justice, ruler of the Norzaleo Kingdom in Easy mode
The demo ends when the player’s army reaches 10 seasons or when 7 bases have been occupied by the army. The demo is replayable to try out different strategies and scenarios! Game progress or save data will not transfer to the full game on 25 June.
Trial Mode’s description on selecting “New Game” is currently incorrectly written as “experience a trial version of the game that lasts for three seasons”. The correct description is “The game will end after 10 seasons or when you occupy 7 bases”.
Go ahead and give it a try and keep your eyes open for the physical edition order!
