Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians is the spiritual successor in a storied line of epic tactical RPGs designed by Yasumi Matsuno. Playdek is excited to be partnering with one of the most legendary game designers, as well as you the fans, to bring out a refreshing, immersive new take on the tactics genre.  

In the hands of the veteran tactical RPG master himself, Unsung Story will re-imagine a classic game genre, as Yasumi Matsuno weaves together one of the complex and rich game worlds that he is known for, with inspiring class based tactics game play.

History is written by winners, and tells the tales of heroes. But where there are winners, there are losers, and wars are not won by heroes alone. Behind the veil of history, there are countless stories that lie forgotten. Reliving these hidden tales is the concept behind the Unsung Story.

Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians presents an epic sweep of history through the eyes of the ones that make it, but are overlooked by the passing of time. It presents a fundamental twist on the hero’s story, as it immerses gamers through the experiences of those lashed to the great wheel of history!

The Unsung Story timeline covers many chapters of the sprawling war-torn history of the fantasy world of Rasfalia. The central plot follows the struggles of heroes who fought in the Seventy-Seven Years War between great kingdoms and empires. 

The story for each hero will constitute an episode, with each episode being comprised of many stages of game play. Each episode will depict a part of the Seventy Seven Years’ War from the vantage point of various protagonists. Some episodes will span a single year, while others may take place over a decade or more!

Filled with intrigue, warfare, betrayal, alliances and espionage, Unsung Story is a detailed and immersive game world that players will bring to life through their actions and decisions. It will tie you not only to the names that history remembers after the conflict has ended, but also with the characters behind these immortalized individuals. 

Without these people, the unsung ones, the course of the history of Rasfalia would have taken a different turn. You will connect to these unsung heroes though your decisions and experiences, as you live these events though their eyes.|

Unsung Story is the inspiration and creation of an incredibly talented set of veteran video game developers and content creators. We’re incredibly proud and excited to be able to bring together this amazingly accomplished set of creative professionals. Of course, our studio is full of fantastic folks who will also be part of this great creative team:

Upon achieving our initial funding goal, in addition to iOS and Android, Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians will come to the PC and Mac platforms as well as Windows Tablets. Additional money raised will go towards adding world class talent to the team, bringing the game to other platforms, and expanding the scope and content of the game.

the catch is that's a Mobile game... but if you kickstart it you can play it on your handheld

If it reaches those goals. I don't really know if I would like this or not, so best of luck to it.

I would probably like it. I hope it gets a 3DS version, it's still on the early phases so I would have to see more of it to be totally sold on it.

I can't say it's entirely exciting since it's a mobile ported to the PC and other handhelds instead of being ported the other way. Nor is it necesarily exciting yet, because nothing is shown, and these projects sometimes kick the bucket. But theres some awesome things like FTL.

granted, since i'd assume it would be turn based like tactics ogre, it can work on mobile. And subsequently work on other platforms.

from what I gather it's a mobile game that's going to take happen regardless. And they're kickstarting for better translators, more scenarios and other platforms. Correct?

This looks really good. The only problem is mobile and tablet. I've heard it might come to the handhelds, so if it does I will be happily buy that.

Yasumi Matusno is unrivalled in writing ability.

Oops.. forgot about that part:

the stretch goals are for Vita and 3DS

They should add a stretch goal for canceling the mobile version.

Will double kickstarter amount soon after.

Mobile game that is also on PC and portable systems, more than likely as a download only. As amazing as both Matsuno and Sakimoto are, I'm not interested. If there was an added stretch goal that said they'd take preorders on a physical release for each respective portable, then I'd be interested in donating, but not a chance I'm going to spend $20 on a digital game.

Ambitious project but a poorly put together kickstarter in my opinion. The absolute main thing you need on the main kickstarter page is some gameplay previews!
