Studio FgG announced a new smartphone RPG, titled Aster Tatariqus coming in 2023. The game is a 3D strategy RPG set in a fantasy world. Set on Aster Academy, a school ground with the goal of training mankind’s finest warriors to repel Barbaroy, a monstrous threat with the aims to destroy everything remaining to mankind, and erase it from memory.
The mobile game has the rather ambitious tagline of having “the largest story in volume in the history of mobile games”. The game will apparently feature several branching narratives, scenarios, and completion runs available to the player, and all of this will be playable right out of the gate when the game launches!
The game apparently also apparently will have some connection to FgG studio’s Phantom of the Kill, but this connection has yet to be revealed, with more info coming soon.
Aster Tatariqus is set to launch in 2023 for iOS and Android devices.

▍Aster Tatariqus Worldview
Aster Tatariqus is set in a fantasy world where aspiring youths and students attend Astera academy, a prestigious and welcoming school that teaches you everything you need to know from sorcery, sword play, tactics, and more in a bid to raise the world’s next greatest heroes.
The reason behind this is because Aster has long been at war with Barbaroy, a faction of demons and monstrous creatures with the goal of wiping out humanity from history. You play as Noire on his journey to become a hero with his schoolmates, battling it out against the forces of Barbaroy.
The story will feature wildly branching narratives with several consequences and is said to be the biggest in mobile game history. How this will play out in the game is not yet known, but this will presumably open up for tons of story content and days of gameplay and story, with such lofty promises.
▍Aster Tatariqus Gameplay
The game is a strategic RPG with elements of roleplaying and character growth. The game takes place over several days as you explore the academy, talk to other students and learn precious skills, similar to Fire Emblem Three Houses.
During combat the game plays out like a strategy RPG, with you being able to command characters and units to move along a grid, fighting off against enemies with a view of thebattlefield.
The gameplay shown off featured pixel graphics and fully rendered 3D graphics. Presumably this means that depending on how you explore the story, you can engage in the game with different graphical styles, or simple that you can choose to play the game in a retro graphics setting or with its fully realized 3D animations.
