Enjoy six new story campaigns or take control of any one of the twenty-four nations in Mission Mode. Whether you want to challenge your tactical acumen or take it easy, Brigandine: Abyss has a route for you.

The original Brigandine turn-based strategy game debuted for PlayStation in 1998. Hearty Robin developed the game. Atlus published the game in the United States. The game's Brigandine: Grand Edition remake debuted in 2000 but was never released in English.
