Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden brings players to an illustrated world presented through the medium of cards as the third release in the Voice of Cards franchise, now giving players the ability to trap the monsters they defeat in cards to use them as skills in battle.
Players will follow a new tale set in a world where a millennia of hatred rages between monsters and humans, and a girl who loses her home swears revenge on monsters. She joins hands with a mysterious boy as they set out into the unknown and unravel the fate of this broken world.
This unique gaming experience brings back the creative minds behind the previous Voice of Cards games, as well as the beloved NieR and Drakengard series, including Creative Director, Yoko Taro, Music Director, Keiichi Okabe, and Character Designer, Kimihiko Fujisaka.
