Idea Factory International has officially announced the release date for its otome visual novel, "Battlefield Waltz," tailored for the Nintendo Switch.
Following a tragic loss of her village and father, a young girl takes up arms to ensure the safety of herself and those she holds dear. However, the sword she chooses is enshrouded with a curse, brimming with formidable power. With such a weapon in her possession, she is thrust into a world of conflict, with no choice but to navigate life on the battlefield.
Her journey brings her to Nirvana, a highly nationalistic military academy. This institution welcomes skilled young warriors, regardless of their personal history, who are eager to hone their combat abilities. In this rigorous environment, the girl encounters new allies, forges meaningful connections, and discovers something she thought was lost forever: a sense of belonging.
The game’s publisher has highlighted several key features to look forward to:
