Battle Chasers: Nightwar Reviews
This is the type of game that should be an automatic hit for RPG players, but there is something missing in the complete package. The graphics are good, and typical genre staples are present, but ultimately it gets lost in itself. Overall this is a solid title, but in the end it lacks heart. It does everything averagely, and nothing especially rises above, or provides anything unique - unfortunate, as its ingredients definitely lend itself to what might have been a really great game.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is an amazing turn-based RPG. Even if you don't like these type of games, Battle Chasers will make you fall in love with them. Battle Chaser: Nightwear is much like Child of Light, but the fighting mechanics are a bit more complicated. The mechanics may seem hard at first, but if you give them some time and just play the game you will eventually learn how to manage them and that's when you enjoy Battle Chasers the most. You have to be careful in every fight and use the right strategy and tactics to win the battle. You should definitely try Battle Chasers: Nightwar and without any doubt it worths both your time and money; specially if you are a fan of RPG and turn-based games.

A staple steampunk fantasy RPG that has learned well from its predecessors.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar on Nintendo Switch is a highly engrossing experience, which JRPG fans, raised on the likes of Final Fantasy and Suikoden, will savour every minute of.
Take a moment to step back and appreciate Battle Chasers: Nightwar as a whole, and, looking beyond the game’s clear inspirations, it strikes out with enough of its own identity to deliver a stirring and memorable adventure.
Battle Chasers: Nightware is pretty typical as far as turn based RPGs go, but its tight combat, beautiful production values and faithfulness to its source material make it worth checking out on Switch.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a new return to the famous Japanese RPG games, with amazing world and good characters but not tied well to each other and highly designed dungeons in the game.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar does turn-based combat with a level of finesse that isn’t seen enough anymore.
Battlechasers: Nightwar is a fun rpg that benefits from the mythos that the original comics created. The characters are enjoyable, the world is teeming with personality, and the combat is both challenging and rewarding. There’s enough content here to keep most rpg fans happy, especially if they plan to complete the dungeons on the hardest difficulty level. Newcomers to the franchise will have no trouble getting into this one.
A game that pays an homage to the old RPG genre while still being innovative in some ways. Sadly this port isn't perfect.

A great attempt at modernizing the JRPG, Battle Chasers: Nightwar is but a few steps away from being truly great.
If you’re an RPG fan I’d say there’s no doubt Battle Chasers: Nightwar is well worth picking up. Even for casual JRPG fans there’s enough content, character, and beauty in the game that if you’re intrigued it should be well worth the plunge. For RPG novices it may all feel a little busy but if you’ll take the time to work through the menus and get to know all of the elements you have at your disposal it should be accessible, just a bit overwhelming. For whatever minor flaws the game may have it is well worth the ride.
Overall, Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a solid port on the Switch with a great presentation and familiar gameplay mechanics.
Battle Chasers: Nightware is a must-have JRPG on Nintendo Switch that you have to play today. The game has a ton of content, gorgeous graphics, solid battle mechanics, cool characters to play as, and you can play it at home or on the go thanks to the Nintendo Switch. The only complain I hvae for the game is the long loading times which should be there in a game released in 2018, so hopefully the team at Airship Syndicate is currently working on a patch for the game to lower loading times – it's not a crazy idea since we've seen several releases on Switch get patches to improve overall performance and to lower loading times.
Overall, this game is a good RPG title to add to the Switch’s library. If you have the time (and the cash), then you should definitely consider getting Battle Chasers: Nightwar as you won’t be disappointed with what it has to offer.
Lots of work has gone into Nightwar since its first release, and the balancing improvements make it an easy game to recommend on all platforms.
This Is the best turn based RPGS one has played In a long time!
One of the best indie RPGs from the current generation is finally playable on the Nintendo Switch, and while it doesn't offer the perfect experience, the allure of portability should be enough to make you consider giving it another chance.
Despite a title that suggests it came out of a name generator, Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a satisfying slice of JRPG that forges a confident, colourful character of its own from formulaic ingredients. The approachable comic style, plus a couple of neat mechanics that encourage experimentation, give it a freshness that belies the age-old systems at its core, and it doesn't waste your time with filler. Depending on your skill, you'll probably spend around 30 hours on the critical path – comparatively breezy in RPG terms – though there's plenty of side content to occupy you beside the main quest, plus a trio of heroes you'll probably shun on your first playthrough. Disappointing performance dips aside, it feels at home on Switch. Ultimately, it's the same old story – numbers go up! – but it's shot through with an infectious exuberance and attention to detail that reinvigorates old tropes.
Atmospheric, very pretty dungeon crawler with tactically exciting and complex round strategy fights in a living comic world.
