Tokyo Cowboys has announced that it’s finished work on The Benza RPG after two years of updates and patching, and is now setting its sights on a Switch port. Currently this version is targeting launch in Q2 2023 “with additional QOL improvements and optimization” for the console.
The Benza RPG, which is based on The Benza and Benza English shows, is a retro-like RPG that has players taking on the role of main characters Chris and Kyle as they try to free Higashi Nakano, a small suburb in Tokyo, from the evil Japanese Teacher Inko Sensei’s nefarious shadow magic. It’s said that the team took inspiration from Mother / EarthBound with the game featuring nostalgic graphics mixed with modern effects, voice acting from the cast in battles, a diverse soundtrack ranging from chip tunes to hip hop, “and a truly bonkers story unlike any ever seen in an RPG before”.
