Alliance Arts has introduced will probably be publishing The Nice Villainess: Technique of Lily. Created by builders One or Eight (Misplaced Epic), WSS Playground (Needy Streamer Overload), and Alliance Artwork themselves, it’s an odd twist on a turn-based technique and is coming to PC in 2024.

You play as Duchess Scarlet, who’s sentenced to execution for regicide. Head nonetheless related to her shoulders, she escapes with the assistance of Lily. She’s changed into a prototypical streamer with the flexibility to incite individuals into performing out. She makes use of her newfound powers to seize enemy commanders and intends to “break” the world.

It seems like issues are nonetheless fairly early in improvement, however the aesthetic appears to be in place and appears nice. 2D characters have an ornate anime look to them, and the 3D world has a voxel look. The world, with its heavy depth-of-field blur, jogs my memory of 3D Dot Recreation Heroes. It’s simply very vivid and colourful.

There’s additionally some flirtation occurring between Lily and Scarlet, so I’m down for that. I’m unsure concerning the gameplay. The fight is proven, however I can’t grok the mechanics. It type of jogs my memory of that Mii samurai recreation on 3DS, Warriors Manner. Arduous to say.

I assume we’ll discover out for positive when The Nice Villainess: Technique of Lily launches on PC in 2024.
