The third title of Yoko Taro’s card game RPG titles, Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden will be releasing on September 13th.

Yoko Taro’s Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden Releases September 13th

Coming this September will be the third game by NieR’s franchise creator Yoko Taro. The Beasts of Burden is the next turn-based RPG in the series of games. In this entry, players will have the ability to trap monsters and later utilise their skills in battle.

Also coming with this game is a new standalone story which follows the theme of the animosity between humans and monsters. After a young girl loses her family. She swears revenge on all monsters, which leads to her on a quest. A tale of revenge seems like a fitting basis for an RPG, which I’m sure will be met with some challenges along the way. Will she meet more docile monsters that are not quite as murderous as she once thought?

The Beasts of Burden is a follow-up to Taro’s two previous titles The Forsaken Maiden and The Isle Dragon Roars. Both followed the same tabletop card view, where the game involves flipping over cards to determine your map. Its unique visuals along with beautifully illustrated cards make for quite a different kind of RPG experience, as the whole game is told by cards alone.

Embark on a new standalone turn-based RPG adventure, told entirely through the medium of cards, in #VoiceOfCards: The Beasts of Burden.

Coming to Switch, PS4 and Steam on September 13.
