NIS America had its annual press event a few days ago and it unveiled a slew and new titles and news on localised versions of its current Japanese library. Among the announcements, the publisher revealed fantastical strategy RPG Labyrinth Of Refrain: Coven Of Dusk is coming to consoles and PC in the autumn with both digital and physical versions planned.
It's a odd little title, one centered around a 'puppet' mechanic that enables you to create a party-style brigade full of creatures you can control and send into battle at will. These puppets can be assigned different roles, which will come in very hand as the further you explore its deep-set dungeons, the tougher the monsters you encounter become.
Alongside LOR:COD, NIS America also revealed that Touhou Genso Wanderer Reloaded will be heading to western Switches later this year. Happy Birthdays will launch on 29th March, Fallen Legion: Rise To Glory will arrive on 1st June in Europe.

Disappointed that D2 Days isn’t one, only main Disgaea not portable.
Here's their video presentation.

Is this really a Strategy RPG? I looked at some gameplay and it looks more like an First Person Dungeon Crawler RPG ala Etrian Odyssey to me.
Yup, looks like etrian Odyssey without the drawing mechanics. Day one for me, was really waiting for more handheld type games to come!
A hardcore dungeon crawler built entirely with slick 2D art? That's pretty cool. It will certainly find its audience on Switch.
Great art as usual from these guys. I'll get this game once I know what the difficulty's gonna be. No use to buying a game I can't finish :')
This game looks pretty cool. I'll probably pick it up.
Wasnt this game not localized before? Also that other NIS game with the princeses and the knights and the gats and guns should too.
Looks like a nice substitute for Etrian Odyssey.
NIS Switch support is really nice, i'll get Ys VIII, Penny Punching Princess and the SNK fighter day one, The Longest 5 Minutes on sale/after a price drop and now it loooks like i'll also have to consider if i want Labyrinth of Refrain.
The only disappointment is that they still seem to have no plans to bring Suda 51's Silver Case games to the Switch. I loved the first one on Steam, and 25 Ward looks even better.
I might consider getting this.
Hmmm seems like my wallet will likely be empty if this keeps going
