Guard Break is a retro-inspired JRPG featuring snappy turn-based combat and an ensemble cast of flawed characters.

Under King Augustus, Arcadia has enjoyed decades of uneasy peace. As the aging king's health declines and political tensions rise, the shadowy group Chimera begins to move, setting in motion a crisis that threatens the future of the kingdom.

Play as a small group of Arcadian agents and unlikely allies as they investigate leads, track targets, and uncover hidden motives. Each character brings their own strengths, flaws, and history to the mission, creating a story shaped as much by personal struggle as by national stakes.

Key Features:

• Fast, Turn-Based Combat: Plan around a clear turn order and make quick, strategic decisions in streamlined battles.

• Guard Break System: Exploit enemy weaknesses to break their guard, leaving them vulnerable and shifting the flow of combat.

• Ensemble Cast: No single protagonist. Experience the story through a varied cast with distinct weapons, abilities, combat roles, and personal arcs.

• Bond System: Dialogue choices can strengthen relationships between party members, granting bonus experience when allies fight together.

• Visible Encounters: No random battles. See enemies on the field and choose when to engage.

• Retro-Inspired Presentation: Low-poly 3D visuals and music inspired by the golden era of late-’90s and early-2000s JRPGs.

• Focused Campaign: A tightly paced ~20-hour story-driven adventure.
