Press release:
LONDON (Sept. 23, 2021).
Square Enix Ltd., today announced that “Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars“, a unique new card-based RPG, will be available digitally for the Nintendo Switch system, PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system and PC via Steam on October 28, 2021.

Developed by the creative team behind the beloved NieR® and Drakengard® series, including Creative Director, YOKO TARO (Drakengard series, NieR series), Executive Producer, Yosuke Saito (NieR series) and Music Director, Keiichi Okabe (Drakengard 3, NieR series), as well as Character Designer, Kimihiko Fujisaka (Drakengard series), this new tabletop RPG will spark players’ imagination with a unique way of storytelling.

In Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars, players will venture through a story set long ago in a world shrouded in mystery, guided by the narrative voice of the Game Master (voiced in English by Todd Haberkorn). Set in a world of swords and sorcery, the game is told entirely through the medium of cards.

Players will follow the protagonist as he sets off on a journey to defeat a recently reawakened Dragon, that is threatening the land and its people, in hopes of securing an immense reward.

He is joined on his travels by his companions; Mar, a monster very attached to him, and Melanie, a black witch with a grudge against the Dragon. Players will need to make choices throughout the story, as well as join in turn-based field and dungeon battles that unfold on a board, in the manner of traditional tabletop RPGs.

Fans of the NieR series will also be able to enjoy theming their adventure by purchasing the special bundle set*, which includes the game, the Pixel Art Set DLC, and seven more DLCs themed after NieR Replicant™ ver.1.22474487139…:
