VanillaWare is widely-known for weaving gorgeous art-work into their games. Some of their notable titles include: Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir,  Muramasa: The Demon Blade  and Dragon’s CrownThis upcoming title will be a departure from their usual fantasy settings.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim  is set during the 1980s in modern-day Japan, and will have “13” playable protagonists who pilot these mechs called: “Sentinels”. These 13 young boys and girls will be fighting against the fate of their unavoidable destruction.

The story in 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim  progresses by switching between each of the 13 characters perspectives, as all 13 protagonists hold the key to the story. Their world is rapidly collapsing into despair, and each one is searching for the truth.

The characters will be piloting a “Second Generation Type-1” Sentinel among others,  in their desperate defense of their city. Players may also be allowed to combine the strengths of multiple Sentinels during battle.

Players will be given a certain amount of freedom on what, who and where things happen. Their outcome will shape the story and fates of the characters. So far, only two of the protagonist have been revealed: a boy named, Juurou Anbu and a girl, named Iori Fuyuzaka.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim  shares similarities in gameplay with Odin Sphere,  where players switched between multiple protagonists, in Odin‘s case, they numbered “5“. George Kamitani who directed the game is spearheading this new project.
