About This Game

A young mercenary spreads his wings toward tomorrow! A tale of an iron prosthetic and an unwanted queen.

◆ STORY

The Kingdom of Grauses has long suffered under the tyranny and crushing taxes of the Regent O'Neill.
With his sudden death in battle, the citizens rejoiced, expecting the long-awaited coronation of the late king’s heir.

Meanwhile, a small unit attacks the "Forbidden Tower" located in a taboo land in the northern reaches of the kingdom.
Among them are the "Iron Hand Mercenaries," led by the young mercenary Swan—the right-hand man of the legendary iron-prosthetic-wielding leader, Garsh.
From the depths of the Forbidden Tower, Swan and his comrades rescue the beautiful General Berta.
However, she turns out to be the biological younger sister of the late Regent O'Neill.

Upon her release, Berta is pushed forward by O'Neill's former loyalists to be crowned as the next queen.
What chaos will be unleashed by this unlawful ascension, driven by corrupt ministers desperate to protect their own vested interests?
And where will the hands of fate lead Swan and Berta?

◆ GAME OVERVIEW

Mercenaries Grace is a tactical simulation RPG set in a rich fantasy world.

Battles take place on quarter-view isometric maps with distinct elevation changes. Strategy is paramount: combat outcomes shift based on whether you attack from the front, back, or sides, and positioning allies correctly unlocks powerful support effects.

Use Skill Points earned in battle to learn and upgrade skills, change classes, and enjoy highly customizable character progression.

Featuring stunning character designs by illustrator mitsu_plus! Watch the beautifully drawn characters come to life with a rich array of emotional expressions.

◆ ACT ALTERNATELY: TURN-BASED COMBAT

While previous entries in the Mercenaries Saga series utilized a phase-based system where all player characters acted followed by all enemy characters, this title introduces a massive overhaul!

Combat now shifts to an alternate-turn system—similar to chess or shogi—where players and enemies take turns moving one character at a time.
Predicting who to move next and anticipating the enemy's sequence adds a whole new layer of depth to the battlefield.

◆ THE "LADDER CLASS" SYSTEM: 8 BRANCHING PATHS

In previous titles, each character started in an initial class that split into two intermediate paths, eventually leading to advanced and special classes for a total of seven possibilities.

This game introduces the "Ladder Class" system, breaking past traditional boundaries like Warrior, Thief, Priest, and Mage into 8 distinct lineages.
As characters promote through Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Special tiers, they are not locked into a linear path—they can also cross over to adjacent class branches.
How you grow your characters as they climb the ranks is entirely up to you!

◆ DIVERGENT AWAKENING SYSTEMS

Midway through the story, a pivotal choice will cause the narrative to split drastically.

While previous entries changed story developments and recruitable allies based on your route, this game introduces completely unique "Awakening" systems for each path that temporarily power up your units.
The "Awakening" command unlocks after progressing past a certain point in the story.
Much like the "Soul Exceed" ultimate moves, it is activated by consuming accumulated power stocks.
What kind of power-ups await you on each path? Play and find out!

◆ ULTIMATE MOVES: SOUL EXCEED

Engaging in combat fills a gauge in the top right corner of the screen. By consuming stocked power, characters can unleash their ultimate move: "Soul Exceed."

These ultimate abilities vary by Ladder Class—ranging from dealing devastating damage to enemies to fully healing the party's HP and removing status ailments.
Mastering these ultimate moves is the ultimate key to victory!

◆ FULLY 3D BATTLE MAPS

Battlefields are now rendered in full 3D models, allowing players to freely rotate the camera angle during their turn.

Changing your perspective might even reveal hidden items tucked away in the environment!

◆ ROBUST OPTIONS & QUALITY OF LIFE

The options menu includes features perfect for replayability and grinding, such as toggling the 3D battle map grid ON/OFF, streamlining skill animations with "Simple Skill Effects," and accelerating gameplay with "Fast Movement."
