Yep, God Wars isn’t just something from Runescape. Nor is it anything to do with Kratos and his shiny head. God Wars Future Past, previously known by its in-development working title Project Code: Tsukiyomi and as God Wars Beyond Time, is a tactical RPG from Kadokawa, and has been in development since 2014.

 

The game is based around Japanese folklore and mythology, and promises a whole heap of strategic gameplay that should whet the appetite of SRPG fans.

The game looks pretty interesting. Anything that explores Japanese folklore is going to interest us. As it’s from NIS America there’s going to be comparison to Disgaea, and you could also compare it to Toukiden in its approach to the mythology of Japan. But it’s not good to just say things are like other things, and the truth of it is this seems like a pretty fresh offering from Kadokawa, and is totally the kind of game that a few years back wouldn’t have surprised me if it hadn’t have made its way west.

It’s also worth mentioning that God Wars Future Past‘s sister project Project Code: Daten is also due for a 2017 release, and is meant to be based on Cthulhu mythology, if that’s more interesting to some of you tentacle heads out there. Still waiting on more info on that one, however.
