Experience is doing their first fantasy dungeon RPG in three years with Azure-Winged Chevalier, a remake of the 2010 dungeon RPG Students of the Round. The developers provided a first look at the remake title.
Azure-Winged Chevalier is a remake based on the Xbox 360 version of Students of the Round which released in Japan in 2011. It tells a story of the warriors of light who once lost against the demon lord and must bond to become stronger and free the world from the eternal clutches of darkness.
As for the game, it’s described as an orthodox fantasy dungeon RPG, with featrures such as character creation, dungeon crawling, and item gathering. The remake has revamped its graphics with a new look for its characters and brand-new CGI to go with it. The character creation function which wasn’t in the original game has also been implemented.
Other areas of improvement include U, combat balance, and event adjustments. “Trial Quests” have also been added to make for better gameplay. As an added bonus, Experience’s Stranger of Sword City Revisited, which is set several hundred years after the events of Azure-Winged Chevalier, will also be included for PS Vita.
