The debut trailer above gives a first glimpse of the story and the new, highly strategic, real-time combat system, also known as “Real-Time Tactical Battle” (RTTB).
In breathtaking “diorama” style combat scenes, players engage in intense real-time combat, issuing critical commands and using a variety of skills, classes and gear to gain the upper hand over their opponents.
The DioField Chronicle is set in a beautiful, unique world inspired by a mix of fantasy, medieval and modern. Ruled by the Shaytham Dynasty, the kingdom of Alletain has lived in peace on the island of DioField for 200 years, but that peace is suddenly shattered by the rise of war powers and modern magic.
The kingdom of Alletain has rich deposits of jade – a mineral coveted as a key ingredient in magic and sorcery – and both the Empire and the Alliance have set their sights on the island of DioField. Players command an elite force of mercenaries calling themselves the Blue Foxes. Will the name “blue fox” stand for hope or for darkest despair?
