The game features the return of key staff members from the first two Arc the Lad games, including: Toshirō Tsuchida as the general game director and designer; Norihiko Yonesaka as scenario writer; artists Eiji Koyama, Ryūichi Kunisue, and Hiroshi Hayashi; and T-Square’s Masahiro Ando as composer.
ForwardWorks’ Arc the Lad R smartphone role-playing game launched for iOS and Android devices in Japan on Thursday.
The sequel game is set 10 years after the Great Disaster that befell the world at the ending of Arc the Lad 2, and features both new and returning characters.
The game retains the series’ tactical turn-based battles, while also introducing unique new features.
