Now, let's take a look at the world of GrimGrimoire, shall we?

Story

A new magic school student, Lillet Blan enters a prestigious magic school at the Silver Star Tower. She has a big dream of becoming a great magician whom her little brothers would look up to. After her first five days at the school, she finds herself being trapped in loops of time; everybody except her was gone, then, she is brought back to the first day of school by this wicked time trap. Now, she must solve the mystery with the help of elves, fairies, and other familiars before it's too late.

 

 

Battle tactics

There are four types of magic; Alchemy, Sorcery, Glamour, and Necromancy. These four types of magic have a rock-paper-scissors -type of relationship, so you need to utilize their strengths in the best situation. Think! Think!

There are also three Grimoires for each of the 4 types of magic. And each grimoire has its own specialty. You may summon different familiars by using these grimoires. You'll love the adorable, unique familiars that will help you fight against evil!

 

Other key features

There will be a user friendly tutorial, and Professor Gammel will teach you how to use the grimoire and how to control them step by step. Professor Gammel might come off as a stubborn old man, but he is really a nice caring old man. (Yeah, I won't deny that he is old!)

 

When you think of Real Time Strategy, it's always viewed from the top, isn't it?

GrimGrimoire features a side-view RTS! This evolutionary use of side-view game play separates GrimGrimoire from other RTS games.
   
We believe that an important element for all games is to have great music. And, we have been bringing games with rocking background music. But, GrimGrimoire is like no other. Its music is outstanding, and it has recently been crowned the NISA Staff's Most Favorite Music in an NISA Game for the Entire Year of May! The beautiful and heartwarming music will greatly enhance your game play experience.
   

I cannot forget to talk about the character designs, and their personalities. The breathtaking graphics are just extraordinary. They succeeded to portrait each character with full of personality. You may even feel like you are watching an anime movie during the cut scenes. And NIS America's localization team did it again! They added NISA's trademark humor as always. You just cannot miss that, right? :-)

   

GrimGrimoire will bring you another fantastic game play experience! Don't miss out on it!

 

And last but not least, I would like to talk about the preorder deal for Atelier Iris™ 3: Grand Phantasm!

The game will be shipped on May 29th, yes, very soon. We still have some bonus artbook, but we're almost running out of Atelier Iris 3 Soundtrack. The number for the Soundtrack is going down pretty fast. Attention! We're not planning to reorder this Soundtrack, so, please don't wait too long to preorder and miss the chance to get the Soundtrack! Preorder the Rampaging Raiders Collection that includes the Atelier Iris 3 game and soundtrack, to get the bonus artbook!

 

I hope to see you at the RosenQueen Store!

Have a great day.

Best regards,

Best regards,
