Battle Chasers: Nightwar Reviews
When Battle Chasers: Nightwar works correctly, it’s a fantastic game.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a very pleasant and enjoyable game. With a pleasing aesthetic, fun and quick gameplay, and an intriguing story. It is definitely a recommended turn-based RPG, for beginners and veterans alike, with a relatively simple battle system and enough hidden depth to get you hooked and planning out every battle many moves ahead.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar has everything an RPG fan would like, whether it's a captivating universe, an original turn-based system or even the plethora of activities. Sadly while the core is great, the game suffers from a weak storytelling, too much grinding and a lot of technical problems.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is more than a "western JRPG", it manages to reinvent and bring new elements to the genre in many unique ways.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar would've had potential to be surprise hit but fights with some of the worst technical problems this year and doesn't deliver a very gripping story. If you can live with constant crashes and broken cutscenes you'll still get a solid turn-based jrpg with a nice Darksiders feel.

Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a throwback to classic JRPGs, but in many ways an improvement. It’s like Aliens compared to Alien; all the aspects that made the original great have been polished up, tweaked and turned up to 11 to deliver something that is arguably even better than the inspiration.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a true golden age JRPG experience
The reason I bring this up is that the same thing seems to happen every so often with modern developers, leading to surprising, quality games that are instantly familiar and yet totally unique. That’s Battle Chasers: Nightwar in a nutshell.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar makes an awesome first impression and features solid dungeon crawling gameplay.
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.

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.
Overall, Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a solid port on the Switch with a great presentation and familiar gameplay mechanics.
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.
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.
