Are you enjoying the sudden influx of strategy RPGs? If so, you’ll probably want to make a note in your diary for February 2023, which is when Redemption Reapers is planned to release. Due out on PS4, this project is being helmed by Fire Emblem luminary Masayuki Horikawa, who obviously knows a thing or two about the genre.
“Hope fades across the land following the sudden appearance of the ruthless Mort armies,” the press release reads. “Efficient as they are brutal, the macabre forces descend upon civilizations, leaving destruction in the wake of their nightly raids. As entire nations fall to the Mort onslaught, the Ashen Hawk Brigade, a contingent of mercenaries specialising in surprise tactics, band together to fight back against the invading legions.”
Thus ensues the tactical gameplay. You’ll be able to equip your team with weapons and armour to enhance their performance in combat, while unique skills will add depth to your approach. Personally, we’re not overly impressed with the macabre artstyle – it’s always nice to see something a little more vibrant, isn’t it? – but given the pedigree involved, we’re confident the gameplay will be good.

I actually really dig the look of it. Particularly the dude with the hat. He looks like he came straight out of Bloodborne. Consider me interested!
At the very least the art style looks better than the atrocity that is FE Engages art style
This dude directed Path of Radiance, widely agreed to be among the elite Fire Emblem games alongside Blazing Sword and Genealogy of the Holy War. We’ve all learned that big names don’t equate to good games, but I’m always down for more SRPGs like FE. Hopefully it has a permadeath option and a way that develops the characters like the support system.
It looks interesting, but would have liked to see more of the game than that mediocre cinematic, and wayyyyy less dialogue. Makes Forspoken's writing and voice acting look top tier in comparison.
With an actual FE out the month before I think I'll wait on this but will for sure get to it eventually.
@Deoxyr1bose Path of Radiance is one of the worst Fire Emblems. If he was from the SNES/GBA eras I'd be all for this. But since he's from the GCN+ era, I'll have to wait and find out more about this game first.
I think this looks super cool. I like the subtle camera movements as the units take their actions.
This looks really good. No page for it on PS Store yet, wanted to wishlist it, so I don't forget about it.
@Milktastrophe He also directed Binding Blade and Shadow Dragon, so he’s more than just PoR
This already has my attention more than Engage. Not to prematurely dismiss the next Fire Emblem game, it could be great, but this style and grittiness interests me more, and has a team with a solid portfolio working on it. 2023 off to a good start for TRPGs
Looks like a cross between fire emblem and dragon age. I'll add this to my wishlist
I think it looks really nice o hope it sells.
