Square Enix has announced a release date for Children of Zodiarcs, a title from studio Cardboard Utopia that was crowdfunded on Kickstarter through the publisher's Collective program. The game will release on PC and PlayStation 4 on July 18, 2017, in both North America and Europe. A new trailer for the game was also released, showing off the game's unique blend of turn-based strategy mechanics.
Children of Zodiarcs combines the likes of tactical RPGs with that of board gaming, specifically deck-building and dice rolling. Players will use collectible cards to construct a deck that characters will use in combat scenarios. Attacks and skills are determined with dice, the faces of which can be further customized to better ensure different outcomes.
