Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians Close to Kickstarter Target

Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians is described as "a rich, diverse Tactical RPG, envisioned by the master of the genre Yasumi Matsuno, Playdek, and you, the fans!" It is scheduled to launch episodically, with four to six stages per episode. All episodes will revolve around different characters involved in a great uprising. Matsuno has outlined plans to launch with five episodes, making for roughly 25 playable stages in total.

The story of each of these heroes is what we're calling an episode. By joining them in their battles that span the course of the war, players will see for themselves if these heroes are truly worthy of the glory history has accorded them. While there are five episodes, each revolving around a separate hero, planned for launch, while the game is live, we intend to continue expanding various game systems and bringing out additional episodes that showcase these systems.
