Japanese game publisher Nippon Yi released the HD remake of the PS2 game “Grimm’s Book” (グリムグリモア) developed by Vanillaware (Vanillaware).
The original version of “Grimm’s Book of Magic” was released in 2007. The player played the role of a wizard “Lil (リレ, CV: Iori Saeki)” who was invited to enter a school with a talent for magic, and the principal was the one who defeated the The great wizard of the Demon King. However, there is a tower in the school. It is said that the school building “Silver Star Tower” is the residence of the demon king in the past, and this tower is full of mystery and danger.
Five days after Lil was exposed to magic, a disaster struck the Silver Star Tower and killed everyone in the tower. But Lear travels back to the past 5 days for unknown reasons, and she must try to find the cause of the disaster and prevent it from happening.
The combat in this game is similar to the type of real-time strategy. Players must summon the magician with the power of the magic book, while protecting their own team and defeating the enemy team. Magic is divided into elf magic, psychic magic, alchemy and black magic. Each attribute can summon different familiars, each of which has corresponding strengths and weaknesses.
For example, when summoning a powerful dragon creature, it needs to wait for hatching when it is put on the field, so it needs to be prepared in advance. In addition, there are two types of familiars, physical and astral. Astral species will be very painful when they are attacked by magic, but they have the advantage of physical immunity.
This time, “Grimm’s Book OnceMore” supports high-resolution, and provides acceleration and midway save functions in battle. In addition, the difficulty level has been readjusted to make the game more challenging. All the seiyuu have also been re-recorded, and the proportion of dubbing is also more. In addition, a gallery function has been added.
In terms of game mechanics, a powerful “Great Magic” has been added. Great Magic has a limit on the number of times it can be used, which is equivalent to a kind of ultimate trick, such as “Mana Burst” that causes fire damage to a large area, and “Magic Burst” that restores injured allies. “Resurrection”, etc., all have the effect of changing the situation of the battle. In addition, in the Once More version, various mission objectives and victory conditions can be set separately.
“Grimm’s Book OnceMore” is expected to be released in Japan on July 28, 2022 for PS4 and Switch versions. The Chinese version of the agency has not been released before the completion of this article.
