This game draws its primary inspiration from one long-neglected and sorely missed series: the Ogre Battle games of the SNES and Nintendo 64. Even today, nearly twenty years since the West last saw the series, its distinctive mix of real-time tactics and JRPG-lite elements occupies its own lonesome niche, so much so that it still defies classification of any generally used genre or sub-genre. But while those games continue to stand as classics, Chronicle of Ruin aims to expand upon the forumula, and so it interweaves a modern take on the exploration and combat seen in more traditional JRPGs like Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger.
By expanding on a foundation drawn from time-tested classics, Chronicle of Ruin's aim is to feel both excitingly fresh and comfortably familiar. To not only pay homage to some of the greatest and most beloved games of all time, but to enter the conversation as a worthy successor. Above all, this game's goal is to be something that lives up to the hopes and expectations of the fans who have gone neglected and underserved for far too long.
