Tactical RPG Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is set in the Dagdan Empire on the continent of Dagda, which is far to the southwest of Fire Emblem: Three Houses’s setting of Fódlan. It begins with the end of the empire at the hands of the revived demon god, Balor. However, the goddess Sothis sends a soul — the player — back in time five years prior, to the Heroic Games where four heroes competed, in order to save the world and change the fates of those heroes who had disappeared. Rather than needing to play through each hero’s route separately, the game allows players to play through all four heroes’ stories in parallel.

Flowstone Saga

16-bit RPG Flowstone Saga is set in Ocean’s End, a collection of backwater islands that becomes the site of a showdown between the navy of the Byzankar Republic and the pirate king Borras Crimm.

It features puzzle-based combat where players must arrange falling blocks to deal damage to enemies or perform various skills, and which lets players opt for turn-based or real-time gameplay.

After each run, players return to a laboratory where they can spend rewards to unlock and equip various chips for their units. Players can also interact and build up bonds with various inhabitants.

Sigilfarer

“Dice-rolling roguelite” Sigilfarer sees players leading a party of four adventurers through a world broken by a magical disaster. Players explore procedurally-generated hex-grid maps filled with various biomes, encounters, and dangers.

Runs provide opportunities for players to upgrade their available dice for future runs.
