Unveiling a Strategic Gem
Big news for strategy card game fans! Arc System Works America, Inc., together with Project Moon, is set to bring the popular Library of Ruina to the PlayStation®4 and Nintendo Switch™ in Spring 2024. This isn’t just any game; it’s a journey into a world where strategy and cards collide in a uniquely immersive experience.
What’s New in the Console Version?
The console iteration of Library of Ruina isn’t just a replica of its PC counterpart. It boasts a full Japanese voice cast, including talents like Shunsuke Takeuchi and Ikumi Hasegawa, breathing life into the characters of Roland and Angela. On top of that, players get the original digital soundtrack and artbook, plus developer commentary. It’s an extra layer of engagement for those who dive deep into game lore and creation.
The Story Behind the Cards
Set in the same universe as Project Moon’s Lobotomy Corporation, Library of Ruina puts players in the shoes of Roland, the self-proclaimed “washed up” Fixer. He teams up with Angela, the library director, in a quest for the elusive “One Absolute Book.” The catch? Guests who lose their battles in the library are transformed into books, propelling the narrative forward.
Dice Rolls and Strategic Conquests
The game’s core lies in its battle system, where strategy meets chance. Each battle starts with a dice roll to set the attack order. Winning these encounters is crucial, as defeated Guests are turned into Books, which are then converted into Pages. These Pages are key to crafting equipment and enhancing battle strategies, adding layers of depth to every encounter.
Tailoring Your Tactics
Library of Ruina isn’t just about battling; it’s about strategizing. Customizing Battle Pages and assessing Guests’ stats and weaknesses before each encounter are vital. This level of customization and strategy evolution makes Library of Ruina not just a game of chance, but a deep, tactical deck-building experience.
Library of Ruina’s arrival on PlayStation®4 and Nintendo Switch™ marks a significant expansion for this beloved card battler. With its blend of tactical gameplay, rich storytelling, and immersive features, it’s poised to be a standout addition to any gamer’s collection. Look out for it in Spring 2024 – the Library awaits your strategic prowess.
Platforms: Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5
