The DioField Chronicle releases September 22 on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. This Square Enix strategy RPG takes place in a medieval setting mixed with fantasy elements and modern-day influences. Combat is viewed from a top-down perspective, with Square Enix comparing its visuals to a diorama.

Unlike most strategy RPGs from Square Enix, The DioField Chronicle features what is described as a real-time tactical battle system. Players can set a unit’s movement path, with the unit following that path as players continue to survey the battlefield. However, it is still infused with some turn-based elements. For example, the game remains paused while users interact with the skill menu. As is typical for the genre, success requires a mix of proper positioning in addition to taking advantage of class weaknesses and strengths.

The DioField Chronicle is co-developed by Lancarse and Square Enix. Lancarse is a third-party studio that often assists other teams with projects, ranging from Monark to Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux. If you’re a fan of Square Enix titles for their artistic direction, then The DioField Chronicle has some notable talent.
