Switch has become home to a wide library of excellent strategy games, and we'd certainly never say no to more. Offering us a turn-based strategy RPG set with an alternate history setting, Warcave's Black Legend is arriving next on March 25th.
Taking us to the 17th century, Black Legend draws great inspiration from European folklore, and we'll be exploring the city of Grant. Taking charge of a mercenary squad, you'll be fighting a deathly cult of fanatics who plague these ruined streets. These foes are led by a mysterious alchemist called Mephisto, who's created the "Maddening Fog" that now clouds Grant.
Promising free exploration, explosive combos, detailed character customisation and more, Warcave also outlined some new character class details:
For fans of strategy games, one of the most anticipated features of Black Legend is the ability to change their team members to one of 15 different classes that are unlocked as the game progresses. With classes ranging from Alchemist to Sharp Shooter, there are options for all kinds of preferred strategy styles.
To unlock a class, the player must collect all the equipment required for that class through exploration or battle. Unlocked skills can be used by characters, no matter their class, opening up a wide range of cross-class builds for players to experiment with
It's not up for pre-order yet, and we don't have a confirmed price, though we'd expect both to appear soon. If you're looking to learn more, Warcave also released a "Dev Diary" several months back, alongside two livestreams.

The setting looks very appealing to me. I'm a big fan of strategy games and Fire Emblem is my favorite Nintendo series, so this might be worth it to check out for me.
Very bold appearance!
I haven't really been captured by something from this genre in a while, so I'll give this an extra look.
Looks like Bloodborne meets Fire Emblem. Interesting.
This looks good and something to keep an eye on when it reviews. Need more strategy RPGs in my life.
Love the genre and the setting. This could be a day-one for me, just hoping it doesn´t get significant visual/technical concessions in the switch.
Oh yes. Must control the hype. Don’t want to be let down again. Graphics are going to be less than what we saw in the video.
Really great and fresh setting. Looks very interesting.
Hope we‘ll get a review soon.
Oh yeah, I'm all in. Giving off some Hard West vibes too.
@Severian Exactly my thoughts!
@Scollurio Hey, spin-off or not, a Yharnam or Yharnam-like Tactical RPG would be great because hunting as a group all those Lovecraftian and Victorian creatures of the night would be a grand idea instead of hunting them alone!
Looking at this one with interest!
Looks interesting, i just hope it will have a good performance. I remember waiting for Empire of the sin, only to see it was such a poor game in the end.
@Severian Wholeheartedly agreed.
I saw swords and pistols and my heart skipped a beat, thinking it was Bloodborne related. Then I read the title. Still, looks interesting!
Edit: Oooh, it's on Steam!
NINJA APPROVED
Might be fun. I’m swimming in SRPGs though. Will wait on a sale.
