Bournemouth-based independent developer CooCooSqueaky and publisher PQube have this morning confirmed their tactical-RPG Tears of Avia will be released in western markets from mid-2020.
Although Sony’s PlayStation 4 or Nintendo’s Switch are the home consoles one would traditionally associate with RPGs of this nature, especially those bearing more of an anime aesthetic, Tears of Avia will instead be made available only on the Windows PC (via Steam) and Microsoft’s Xbox One at this stage.
Tears of Avia is described by the developers as a turn-based strategy game featuring “charismatic” allies you can form your party with, a “beautiful” game world featuring hand illustrated locations and a “vast skill-tree system” to give you some degree of control over your characters progression.
It may have taken quite a few years to launch Tears of Avia, following its initial failed Kickstarter campaign in September 2015 where only £36,308 was raised of an initial £68,000 goal. However, it is great to see the studio persevere and are so close to releasing their very first title.
