Egglia: Legend of the Redcap Smartphone Game's 18-Minute Trailer Streamed

DMM's Powerchord Studio began streaming an 18-minute gameplay video for the English-language release of it and Brownies' Egglia: Legend of the Redcap smartphone game on Thursday. The video previews the beginning of the game and introduces the characters and gameplay systems.

A new trailer for the release debuted last Thursday.

The game launched for iOS and Android in North America, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, "many other" European countries, Southeast Asia, and "beyond" on Thursday. The game is available as a one-time purchase for US$9.99.

The companies describe the RPG:

Players will explore the land of Egglia as a gentle boy elf, Chabo, who must navigate the world via a turn-based RPG system while hunting monsters for experience and gathering resources on a hexagonal grid, using a turn-based dice combat system. Players will uncover a series of mythical eggs that can be hatched to unlock different lands of the world of Egglia to explore and gather materials to grow their village – in doing so, players will evolve a variety of spirit companions that will assist in future battles.

In Chabo's adventure through Egglia, a host of companions will be met throughout the journey and players will be able to build homes and grow a village for them. These homes can be upgraded and furnished with numerous fun decorations allowing players to customize and decorate as desired.

Brownies (Mother 3, Fantasy Life) and DMM.com Powerchord Studios co-developed the game, which originally launched for iPhone and Android in Japan on April 13. Brownies announced an "Episode 2" DLC in April.
