Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a fantasy role-playing game developed by Airship Syndicate and published by THQ Nordic. Released in 2017, the game is inspired by classic console JRPGs and the Battle Chasers comic book series created by Joe Madureira. Players follow a group of heroes stranded on a mysterious island as they battle dangerous creatures, uncover secrets, and attempt to stop a powerful sorceress threatening the world.
The game blends traditional turn-based combat with modern RPG mechanics. Players explore a stylized overworld map and enter procedurally generated dungeons filled with traps, puzzles, enemies, and valuable loot. Battles take place in strategic turn-based encounters where each hero uses unique skills, abilities, and special “Burst” attacks. One of the most interesting mechanics is the Overcharge system, which allows characters to generate temporary mana by using basic attacks, adding an extra layer of tactical decision-making during combat.
Players can form a party of three heroes chosen from six unique characters, each with different combat roles and dungeon abilities. Crafting equipment, upgrading abilities, and exploring hidden locations are key parts of progression. With its comic-book inspired art style, deep combat system, and randomly generated dungeons, Battle Chasers: Nightwar offers a rich RPG experience that appeals to fans of classic turn-based adventures.
