Fantasy Hero: Unsigned Legacy JRPG Now Available For Nintendo Switch

Arc System Works’ Fantasy Hero: Unsigned Legacy has officially launched for the Nintendo Switch. The game is an action-oriented JRPG, designed to allow gamers to experience multiple characters across arena-themed scenarios, with each character having their own themes and abilities to master.

Fantasy Hero originally came out back in 2014 for the PlayStation Vita, so it’s basically a four-year late port for the Switch, but given how few people buy PS Vita games, it’s not like Arc System Works has much to lose by giving Switch owners a little something-something to check out as far as JRPGs are concerned.

There aren’t many classic role-playing games available on the Switch, and it gives gamers four different heroes to choose from, including a gunner, a swordsman, a wrestler, and a brawler. You can get a glimpse of each of the characters in the trailer below.

The resolution is only set at 720p, which is kind of odd given that it’s an old PS Vita game and one would expect it to be at 1080p at the very least… but that’s not exactly what we see. Maybe Arc System Works was just playing it safe and keeping it viable for the portable mode of the Switch, which typically runs games at 720p anyway.

Then again, Fantasy Hero: Unsigned Legacy is only $9.99.

You can also remodel your weapons to improve your arsenal and upgrade and customize your character’s skills.

The game has the typical JRPG story about a group of heroes attempting to save the world against an evil known as the Decorders. If you’ve enjoyed games like Star Ocean and Ys games then you’ll likely take a liking to Fantasy Hero.

You can grab Fantasy Hero: Unsigned Legacy from the Nintendo eShop right now. If you want to purchase the game from the Japanese eShop you just have to switch the region of your Nintendo account for the Switch and grab a copy.
