“The Guardian of Fantasy,” released in 1995, is still considered a masterpiece by many. He has received favorable reviews in many areas, including his unique worldview that harmonizes East and West, as well as his unique but diverse colleagues. However, many users were disappointed that no sequel was released after the spin-off “Phantom Guardian: The Last Hundred Years” released in 2012.
Meanwhile, “Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes” was announced in 2020. This game was produced by Rabbit and Bear Studio, founded by the creators of Phantom Guardians, including Yoshitaka Murayama (Phantom Guardians 1 and 2) and Junko Kawano ( Phantom Guardians 1 and 4), and attracted the attention of users. In the previous Kickstarter funding, it also proved its popularity by raising $4.6 million (approximately 6.3 billion KRW), more than 9 times the funding goal.
Baek Hero’s Battle, which has attracted so much attention, will be released on the 23rd. As the spiritual successor to Fantasy Guardians, the production company announced various elements reminiscent of Fantasy Guardians, and with the announcement of official language support Korean, the expectations of not only foreign users but also domestic users are gathering. We have summarized the Baek Hero Battle game type based on publicly available information.
Reinterpreting classic games with a modern sensibility
The Battle of the White Heroes is set in Western medieval fantasy and takes place on the continent of Alaan, home to countries of various races and cultures. On the continent, many countries cooperate and repeatedly fight for hegemony, around a tool called Rune Lens, which has mysterious power. The story begins with the Chaldean Empire, a nation expanding its power through the search for rune lenses, sending exploration teams to various parts of the continent to find special rune lenses.
Players will venture across the continent of Alaan from the perspective of three people: Rural Guard “Noah”, Imperial Officer “Sey”, and Runic Ruins Guardian “Merissa”. In the process, you must meet various colleagues, form bonds, and face enemies in the flames of war.
As it is the work of the creators of Fantasy Guardians, the game has an overall classic JRPG feel, including classic artwork and dot graphics. Here, modern sensibilities are added, such as the surrounding environment expressed in 2.5D graphics and a camera composition that dynamically changes depending on the progress of the battle.
In terms of combat, it also follows the typical JRPG style. The order of attack is determined by speed, and when commands are entered in advance, they are executed in order. The general framework does not deviate too much from the existing JRPG method, so the combat may be simple, but various gimmicks are deployed here to reinforce the richness of the combat. Various aspects of the battle take place depending on the gadget, such as hiding behind a rock to avoid enemy attacks or pulling a lever to change part of the terrain.
Various worthy colleagues Baek Yeong-woong-jeon
Players travel through Baek Hero Jeon’s world and meet various companions. As befits the name of the game, you can meet over 100 companions, and all benefit from full voice acting to bring them to life.
Additionally, each colleague was given a unique backstory to add depth to the character. Additionally, your companions add a word or their lines change slightly during the main story, giving you the feeling of seeing living companions rather than just AI.
Baek Hero War exclusive content, such as war mode and city building
In addition to basic turn-based combat, Baek Hero Battle also features a “war mode” where a large number of people fight each other. In war mode, you can give instructions to units piloted by your colleagues, and unlike regular battles, this is a fast-paced, real-time battle, allowing you to experience a battle that places even greater emphasis on the strategic aspect.
Additionally, various contents such as city building and mini-games are also available. The Allied Headquarters that appears as you progress through the game is a location near the Shattered Ruins, but each time you recruit an ally, various facilities such as fields and ranches are added to the town, you allowing it to develop. As the city grows, more products will be sold in stores and mini-games such as cooking competitions, card games and fishing will be unlocked, giving players a more diverse experience in addition to combat .
