After a long delay, the RPG based on the comic book series has been dated for Switch.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar has been a long time coming. We got our first proper look at the turn-based RPG earlier this year, but it's been in the oven ever since its developers, Airship Syndicate, grouped up following the closure of Darksiders developer Vigil Games. Now it's finally out, and it's had a rough time of it, with many players criticizing how grindy the later stages of the game can be. In a recent, massive patch, Airship Syndicate addressed several of these complaints. The biggest changes have to do with experience and gold. Most importantly, the overall experience curve "for mid to late game" has been adjusted so levels come faster. Upgrading your gear is also considerably cheaper thanks to reduced blacksmith prices, and easier thanks to increased gold drops. Combat has also been made more exciting. Loot diversity has been improved across the board, and certain instances like the Shade of Belevros now spawn more frequently. Several abilities an
THQ’s demise in 2013 left a number of game developers displaced, including Vigil Games, creators of the Darksiders series. Two studios spun out of the ashes of Vigil Games: Gunfire Games, who are making Darksiders 3, and Airship Syndicate, whose first game, Battle Chasers: Nightwar, launched last week. It’s a combination dungeon crawler and JRPG, featuring turn-based combat, randomized dungeons, and a striking art style based on a late '90s comic series.Over Skype I spoke with Joe Madureira, Airship Syndicate’s creative director and CEO (as well as writer and penciller of the Battle Chasers comic), and Steve Madureira, the lead designer and animator for Battle Chasers: Nightwar—two brothers who have been making comics and games since they were teenagers.
Roleplaying games are stuck in dark, depressing worlds where the buildings are decaying and the player is merely trying to keep back the tide of doom. At first glance, Battlechasers seems like it might go that route. Features touted include random dungeons, random loot, and randomly appearing friends and foes. It’s apparently more random than […]
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is an RPG inspired by the console genre-greats, featuring deep dungeon diving, turn-based combat presented in classic JRPG format.
Smaller dev teams are great because they’re often the only ones willing to push deep into gamers’ nostalgia for genres of the past. Take jRPGs: while they’re not seeing a resurgence per se, there are still Western developers out there willing to make games in that style and add in new features that modernize/revitalize the …

[Click here to start from the first progress log] I could have easily stretched Battle Chasers: Nightwar out another 3 or 4 progress logs, but really needed to finish the game up so that I could get started on the review. That means that the leisurely pace I was keeping up to this point was …
[Click here to start from the first progress log] My party finally ran into the new character, and it seems that he has absolutely no ties to the comic. I guess red masks with horns are just in style? Whatever the case, I imagine this guy will end up joining before too long. It’s just …
[Click here to start from the first progress log] I finally found and recruited Knolan and Red Monika, and Knolan’s voice acting has actually mellowed out and isn’t grating like I suspected it might be. As for Monika, she’s now replacing Garrison (Gully and Calibretto are my favorites and will remain on my team forever …
