Strategy RPG Covert Crew planned for Switch

TYB Games has announced its upcoming project Covert Crew for Switch. The title is on track to launch later in 2024.

Covert Crew is a 2D strategy RPG set in a semi-futuristic setting with superpowered characters. TYB Games says that it plays similar to the older Fire Emblem game, but with a comic/superhero aesthetic.

Here’s some additional information:

Set in a near future fictional universe that is populated by ‘powered’ individuals, disgraced hero Solitude looks to stop an emerging and mysterious syndicate by forming his own powered group – the Covert Crew.

Key Features

• Classic 2D Turn-Based Tactical Combat: Strategic grid-based battles with fresh and creative win conditions and boss battles.
• Over 20+ Playable Units: Recruit from a wide variety of characters, each with their own unique power.
• Synergize With your Teammates: Featuring in-battle ‘quips’, increase your synergy with other units to unlocking new bonding scenes and in-battle bonuses.
• Your Power is Your Weapon: Equip power modulators to modify your attacks, increase power, speed or even add the chance to inflict status effects. Unlock and craft new modulators as the game progresses.
• Power Pentagon System: Replacing a certain ‘triangle’, the power pentagon utilizes the five power types in Covert Crew for strengths/weaknesses. (Energy, Elemental, Spatial, Physical & Mystical)
• A Wide Range of Abilities: Differing from the traditional ‘move and attack’, your units are also able to cast unique abilities that can influence the battle in various ways. (Attacks, buffs, debuffs, terrain control and more!)
• Enter the Combat Simulator: Train your units in a roguelite inspired mode which includes procedurally generated maps, an augment system and blueprints to unlock new modulators and skills.
