Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia is a sequel to the 1998 PlayStation cult classic Brigandine: The Legend of Forsena. This strategy RPG has finally landed on Switch and is being offered as a digital download as well as a physical edition, which is being produced by Limited Run Games (note, preorders with LRG have closed, so if you’re interested in a cartridge you’ll likely have to go through a third-party seller). So, what’s the game about? Take a look:
Developer Happinet describes Brigandine as follows:
Featuring a Fantasy world conquest within the turn-based strategy genre, Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia will offer hundreds of hours of immersive gameplay in this stunning new campaign for conquest.

Raita Kazama, an illustrator best known for his character and monster designs in Xenoblade Chronicles, Puzzle & Dragon, and more, has provided the artwork here in Brigandine. This looks like an appealing entry in a series with a dedicated fan base. If you’re itching for some fresh SRPG action on Switch, Brigangine might be worthy of a look!
