The latest title from Eastasiasoft (long-term readers will know of these guys, what with them publishing a game seemingly every week) has already been out for almost a year on Nintendo Switch and PC platforms, but it is finally time for the real-time strategy RPG Akatsuki: Lord of the Dawn to venture over to Xbox and PlayStation.
Want to assemble your own army, march into battle and slay all who oppose you? Well, look no further!
A Huge Roster to Choose From
Arriving on Xbox and PlayStation to complete the quartet of mainstream platforms to live on, Akatsuki: Lord of the Dawn will have you putting together the toughest, meanest army the world has ever seen, in order to take down waves of opposition forces.
There’s 48 unique convoy characters to choose from, each with their own abilities and skills to make use of in combat. Luckily, your units will do the fighting automatically, leaving you precious time to make use of team-ups and strategic formations to get the most out of your troops.
Away from the frontlines, you’ll also have to contend with building facilities in agriculture, farming and more to rejuvenate the war-torn kingdom you have inherited. You’ll then be able to upgrade your troops, research powerful subclasses to diversify your convoy further, and ultimately rule with an iron fist over the lands!
