Overview

Children of Zodiarcs is a story-driven, single-player tactical RPG that combines traditional tactical gameplay with the thrill of collectible cards and craftable dice! Children of Zodiarcs was inspired by our deep love of tactical RPGs, namely Final Fantasy Tactics and the 16-bit Shining Force games, as well as a love of playing board games and collectable card games like Magic: The Gathering. We decided to bring these passions together to make a game that would resonate with fellow fans of the genre, as well as to push the envelope in fun and exciting way

Simple in its implementation but opening the door to something both unique and complex, the team over at Cardboard Utopia has really done something impressive. While none of the moving parts will be new on their own, they’re blended together to make a system that feels right at home in a tactical game.

Cardboard Utopia’s Children of Zodiarcs is the next “Final Fantasy Tactics” that you’ve been waiting for. While there may not be classes for your characters to switch between, dive into a world based on dice rolls and the luck of the draw as a group of children try to survive by stealing from the rich in order to buy enough food to survive. It’s really hard to not make certain levels of comparison to what I consider one of Square’s greatest masterpieces.

Children of Zodiarcs is a charming little tale that fits very comfortably in the Venn diagram between tactical RPG’s and games of luck. From its simple, focused design to a flexibility in tactics with deck and dice building, Children of Zodiarcs is a unique example of how to properly revitalize the tactical JRPG with new ideas.
