Higan: Eruthyll is a 3D real-time strategy game with vintage and magic elements. It comes with dynamic fight instructions, multiple gameplay, and appealing cutscenes.

Developed by BILIBILI, this Android game is currently available on Google Play to users in Canada, Malaysia, and Singapore. It is set to launch on Apple Store for iOS devices as well. Essentially a strategy card game, Eruthyll brings the mechanics of Iris and the Giant. Even so, it’s graphically closer to the anime style of Last Ultima.

How does it work?

This card game is rated 12+ and free to download, offering in-app purchases of wish packs, outfits, accessories, and bundles totaling over $200. To play, users select a crew from 6 classes and 5 elements. You can position units on a grid and fight, as well as interrupt opponents’ moves or consolidate them to cause AoE damage.

What’s it about?

This auto-chess style RPG is about timing attacks to deal the most damage to enemies. Playing it is like directing the Gopher Troupe between Reality and Fantasyland to rescue the people of Eruthyll from a death-like slumber. Players must push back the ‘Arrival of Fantasyland’ and prevent an eternal nightmare from taking hold.

What’s special about it?

In this anime RPG, every new segment comes with cutscenes and voiceovers. Players can try out their tactics with dynamic instruction input and enjoy an artistic, vintage-inspired, fantasy setting. It boasts touching stories and has dramatic interactions to keep them on the edge of their seats.

A catfight in overdrive

More than a simple visual novel punctuated by scenes of hyperspace and refraction, Eruthyll impresses with gameplay and plot. Despite the theatricals, cutscenes, gameplay, and chase cameras, it sometimes feels like an overelaborate catfight.
