Wander Stars launch trailer – Nintendo Switch gets new turn-based RPG

Wander Stars came to Nintendo Switch to close out this week, and a fresh launch trailer has come in. The turn-based RPG comes from Fellow Traveller and Paper Castle Games.

Read more about it in the following rundown:

In an action (and punch)-packed adventure, players become the young but determined martial artist Ringo, who, alongside the mysterious Wolfe, embarks on a quest to find Ringo’s missing brother. Inspired by Saturday morning cartoons and anime greats of the 90’s, including Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z, and One Piece, Wander Stars features twists, turns, betrayals, and redemption.

Over 10 television-style episodes, the unlikely duo plots a course across the galaxy, picking up pieces of the Wanderstar map and creating their own found family. Along the way, they’ll use their words and fists as masters of the “Kiai” martial arts, which rewards battling with honor as much as raw power.

In Wander Stars, Kiai battles play out with a unique word and turn-based combat system, making use of the words that Ringo and Wolfe have learned throughout their travels. Piece them together to perform impossibly powerful offensive moves such as Fire! Smash!, or pull off devastating defensive moves like the Phantom! Guard! There are more than 200 words to find and combine, and players must also consider strengths, weaknesses, and strategies to defeat their rivals (and may even turn them into allies!)

Take a look at the Wander Stars launch trailer below.
