Idea Factory International has finally set a date for the release of its immersive otome visual novel, Battlefield Waltz, on the Nintendo Switch.
Imagine the turmoil: a girl, stripped of her village and her father, picks up a sword to defend herself and those dear to her. But this isn’t just any weapon—it’s cursed, brimming with incredible power. With this discovery, her life takes a radical turn, as she finds herself thrust into the relentless world of warfare.
Her new journey leads her to the ultra-nationalistic military academy, Nirvana, a hub where talented young fighters from various backgrounds come together to hone their combat prowess. In this intense environment, she encounters new faces, forms deep connections, and uncovers what she thought was lost: a sense of belonging.
The publisher has highlighted several key aspects of the game:
-
Love Blooms on the Battlefield on the Go! – Once exclusive to Japan’s PS Vita crowd back in 2014, Western players now have the chance to dive into this hidden otome treasure and follow Lan’s story as the Maiden of the Cursed Sword on the Nintendo Switch.
-
Explore New Frontiers and Nirvana! – With the Map Exploration feature, players gain the freedom to wander through two distinct maps: the Royal Capital Frontier and the Nirvana School. Here, Lan can engage with other characters, unlocking unique tidbits about them during these explorations.
-
Chronicles of the Maiden of the Cursed Sword – The Chronicle mode is your trusty journal for this adventure, offering insights into your current path, spotlighting untraveled routes, and letting you retrace your steps to uncover all possible endings or simply revisit memorable scenes. It allows you to jump to any previously played scene within your current storyline.
- Ancient Memories Shine like a Gem! – By meeting specific conditions in the game, you can access the Ancient Memories, a breathtaking book adorned with gems that illuminate each time you achieve a positive ending.
