Along the way, he will encounter colorful heroines and unexpected story moments that add charm to the school rivalry drama.
With its Japanese school rivalry setting, active combat timing, and nostalgia-friendly tactical battles, Banchou Tactics: Lion Heart delivers a fresh indie action tactical RPG experience for players who enjoy strategy with a hard-hitting action twist.
