Dragon Star Varnir for Switch coming west in August
Posted on June 23, 2021 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch
Idea Factory has set a final release date for the Switch version of Dragon Star Varnir in the west. The game will be out in North America and Europe on August 3, the company confirmed today.
Here’s an overview of the game:
In a world where the bones of an ancient beast tower over the land…
The Knight Zephy is part of an order whose role is to hunt down witches – people seen as cursed beings for giving birth to dragons.
He is brutally mauled by a dragon on one mission, but as he gasps his last breath, two witches save him by feeding him dragon blood – a death-defying magical substance that also grants him new witch powers.
Their fates now intertwined, Zephy reluctantly joins the witches against a slew of enemies: an Empire out to destroy his kind, ruthless dragon hunters, and a witch more powerful than any in existence.
Can they fight all this and save themselves, or will his new allies succumb to the dragon’s curse…?
Key Features
- Three Tiers to Fear and MORE – Take flight in this turn-based RPG, duking it out against enemies and vicious Giant Dragons in three vertically-oriented tiers. Freely position your party members within the tiers to find unique formations to increase physical or magical attacks, and even your defenses! Exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version, additional weapons, armor, and level caps previously only available for purchase on other platforms are now included FREE in-game!
- Awaken Your Inner Dragon – Fill up your Dragon Gauge during battle to harness the power of dragons, drastically increasing your armor and unlocking special abilities! Transforming at low health ups the ante with more powerful attacks but weakened defenses.
- Welcome to Devour Hour – Use the Devour skill on a weakened dragon to obtain skill trees from the enemy. With multiple dragons roaming the land, players can customize unique skill sets for each character!
- Madness or Riches? – Three witches depend on you to bring them dragon’s blood as food. Starve them, and they go mad. Overfeed them, and they become a dragon! Will you keep them alive or sacrifice them to obtain rare items? Your choices will alter the storyline!
Dragon Star Varnir will be sold digitally for Switch via the eShop. Additionally, a physical version will be offered by Idea Factory and Limited Run Games. Pre-orders begin through the IFI NA Online Store on July 6 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET.
