Kemco's latest JRPG, Astral Takers, is now available on iOS and Android, offering fans of the genre a fresh take on classic turn-based battles. In this top-down adventure, you play as Revyse, a young summoner-in-training, tasked with protecting the mysterious amnesiac girl, Aurora. To aid in your quest, you'll summon powerful heroes from other worlds using Echostones, allowing you to fight alongside up to eight companions and form parties of four to tackle various dungeons.

The game emphasizes the ability to predict enemy actions, enabling you to strategically swap out party members mid-battle. This mechanic, combined with the exploitation of affinities between certain heroes, allows you to effectively counter even the most formidable foes. While the distinctiveness of the heroes remains to be seen, this approach promises a refreshing twist on traditional JRPG combat.
