Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a turn-based role-playing game developed by Airship Syndicate and published by THQ Nordic. Released in October 2017 for Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and later in May 2018 for Nintendo Switch and Linux, the game is based on the fantasy comic book series by Joe Madureira. The story follows the main cast of characters, including Garrison, Calibretto, Red Monika, Knolan, and Gully, as they are marooned on an island and must stop the plans of an evil sorceress to escape.
The gameplay features deep dungeon diving, traditional turn-based combat with a unique overcharge mana system, and incredible Battle Bursts. Players can explore an overworld with hidden dungeons, rare bosses, and randomly appearing friends and foes. The game includes action-oriented, randomly-generated dungeons loaded with traps, puzzles, and secrets. Each hero has unique abilities, perks, items, and dungeon skills, and players can build their adventuring party by choosing three of six available heroes.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar received positive reviews from critics, with praise for its graphics and visual style. The game has an aggregate score of 78/100 on Metacritic for the PC version, with scores ranging from 75 to 84 across different platforms. Critics noted the game's engaging combat mechanics, including the overcharge system and Battle Bursts, although some criticized the difficulty balance and the need for grinding. Despite this, the game is recognized for its skillfully modernized retro-style RPG elements and its strategic gameplay.
The game remains popular among fans of traditional RPGs, particularly those who appreciate the blend of classic JRPG mechanics with modern twists. Its historical significance lies in its successful crowdfunding campaign and its status as the first game developed by Airship Syndicate, a company formed by former Vigil Games staff.
