A couple of weeks ago, KEMCO opened pre-registration for its pixel-art RPG, Isekai Rondo. With turn-based battles and retro-styles looks, the title takes players on a thrilling journey in modern Japan and is now available for iOS and Android.

Isekai Rondo tells the story of Sho, an ordinary man working at an exploitative company in Japan. Suddenly, he finds himself reincarnated in a parallel universe as Shaw, leaving him unemployed and confused. Eventually, a stone monument grants him a high-level job of being a Sage.

As a Sage, Shaw is now stronger than most people around him as he can master UR passives. While he wants to lead a peaceful life, with great powers, comes great responsibility. Shaw shifts focus on saving the world after he meets the Hero Viola, and the duo embark on a treacherous journey of beating the Overlord.

The game features a mechanic called UR Passives, which grants a number of bonuses to users. Shaw has a number of such abilities like Future Movie, which lets him look for a win or loss before fighting the enemy, and Accident Insurance, which gives him an extra life so that he can return just before the Game Over screen hits.

Party members too can make use of these passives to make progress simpler. They lead to other major systems called Spirit Summoning and Mana Management. The former invites a Spirit into battle while the latter makes use of plants grown from bulbs for useful effects. Additionally, Monster Skill Acquire grants players the ability to feed on these beasts to make use of their skills.

Besides trying to sabotage the Overlord, players can also participate in arenas if they want to be put in challenging situations or even in dungeons, where treasure chests automatically spawn.

Help end the Overlord’s reign by downloading Isekai Rondo now. It is available for $7.99 on Android and $4.99 on iOS.
