Quartet Switch

Something Classic, the developer of the Switch title Shadows of Adam, launched a Kickstarter campaign a few weeks ago for its next project Quartet. It went well as the team raised around $50,000. During the campaign, a Switch stretch goal was also reached.

Quartet is a turn-based RPG. The game begins with four separate chapters that can be played in any order. In each one, players will encounter eight unlikely heroes – with their own spells and abilities – and see how their stories merge. It’s possible to send out four characters at any time in battle, with the ability to instantly swap the other four characters in.

Here’s an introduction to the game’s story:

Astria Ascending review Nintendo Switch

System: Switch
Release date: September 30, 2021
Developer: Artisan Studios
Publisher: Dear Villagers


Nostalgia will always give that sort of feeling of coming back home to something familiar. That same nostalgia, however, can also be driven back not only with the things of the past, but with new experiences that pay homage to the greats of a particular medium. Astria Ascending feels like this in a lot of ways for those that have played JRPGs for a long time, and having been helmed by a collaboration of minds from veterans of some of the genres most illustrious titles and franchises, it’s no wonder why its turn-based gameplay feels both familiar and refreshing. Unfortunately, this same nostalgia can also become a bit of a disservice when relied upon too much and hurts the game in the long run, and while the systems in place for combat are great, it’s the rest of the experience that feels at most times mediocre due to quality of life issues and grindy gameplay.
