GungHo brings Grandia HD to Switch

Game Arts' Grandia II was one of my first Dreamcast RPGs and has left a little hole in my heart that needs filling. Along comes GungHo with the classic Grandia RPGs including the PSone original, updated with enhanced graphics for the UI, sprites, and texture art.



Key Features include:

• Real-time, turn-based action - Experience and employ a unique action bar system for real-time fighting with distinct characters
• Magic-based combat - Gather Mana Eggs to learn and use magic-based skills, ranging from elemental attacks to character-enhancing magic for defense and offense statistical boosts
• Illustrious worlds to explore - The vibrant worlds in GRANDIA HD Collection include nostalgic starter cities such as Parm (GRANDIA) and Carbo Village (GRANDIA II) to iconic fields and areas such as The End of the World (GRANDIA) and Valmar's Moon (GRANDIA II)
• Gather Skill Points and ATTACK! - Skill Points or Skill Coins can be used to earn incredibly intense moves that make for an extraordinary fighting experience
• Eclectic Enemy Encounters - The worlds of GRANDIA and GRANDIA II bring forth a plethora of challenging and epic enemies in the wild, as well as main storyline bosses
