A classic jRPG with turn-based combat system, developed by Spike Chunsoft in collaboration with MonochromeCorp studio, and an informal sequel to the 2011 Grand Knights History, both games developed under the lead of Tomohiko Deguchi. The game is set in a fantasy realm divided between four warring factions. We start as a leader of our own mercenary group and with the progress of the game we embrace the cause of one side of the conflict.
Grand Kingdom is a classic 2D jRPG game with a turn-based combat system focused on strategic planning. The game was developed by Spike Chunsoft and MonochromeCorp. The development team was led by Tomohiko Deguchi, who also worked on Grand Knights History. Both works of the author share many common features, however, Grand Kingdom can be called an informal sequel.
Grand Kingdom takes us to the classic fantasy world, full of magic and heroic deeds. The continent on which the action takes place is divided between four opposing factions. We are leaders of a mercenary unit and over time we choose which of the powers participating in the conflict we want to support. The story is presented in the form of fully voiced animated cut-scenes, realized in the form known from visual novel games.
During the adventure, we manage a team of warriors - we choose their equipment and determine the direction of development. The battles use a turn-based combat system and are presented in 2D, the perspective known from side-scroll games. During the fight, players need to plan their moves and think strategically, as well as use various special skills and combos.
Grand Kingdom also offers a multiplayer mode, allowing for cooperation fun and competition. Grand Kingdoms also allows PlayStation 4 and PS Vita owners to play together and share their saved game status between the two versions of the title.
Grand Kingdom is characterized by exceptionally pleasant 2D graphics which are accompanied by an equally refined soundtrack.

Game Ratings for Grand Kingdom Video Game.
Metro GameCentral: 7 / 10
An unusual mixture of influences, that builds a pleasingly unique strategy role-player out of otherwise very familiar components.
ZTGD: 7 / 10 by Jae Lee
Grand Kingdom features a vibrant and charming art style along with a surprisingly well implemented multiplayer mode. However, the lackluster story and repetitive combat that sits at the very core of the experience holds the game back from greatness.
Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Chris Shive
Grand Kingdom takes some time to get going, but once it does, it's a great tactical RPG.
