posted on by Emma Hanashiro
Kickstarter campaign to end on November 27

Awesome Japan launched a Kickstarter campaign on Friday for the mobile role-playing game Soul Knight. Plantago Games is developing the project and hopes to raise US$60,000 by November 27.

The goal of the project is to recreate the "good 'ole JRPG" on a smartphone platform. A turn-based game, Soul Knight will also allow players to play with up to four friends. The game features soldier, wizard, shield knight, archer, and healer classes in a tactical RPG environment.

The campaign has several stretch goals. Starting at US$80,000, the project will add Ninja and Samurai classes, at US$100,000 the developers will add a new stage, and at US$120,000 a raid boss will be added. Other stretch goals include voice acting at US$160,000, development for PC systems at US$250,000, and development for console systems at US$500,000.

The game staff includes game and art director Toshihiko Kojima (Disgaea 4, Disgaea 2, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness Phantom Brave), technical director Hayato Kose (Final Fantasy 13 and 14), character designers Teruhiko Imaizumi (Jigsaw World: Daigekitou! Jig-Battle Heroes) Yusuke Matsuda (Foto Showdown), and Noizi Ito (Shakugan no Shana, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) and sound creator Lemm (Battle Princess of Arcadias).

The game is slated for beta release by the end of this year followed by a full release by February 2015.
