Stylish, Unforgiving JRPG Virgo Versus The Zodiac Charts a Path To Switch Later This Month

It’s time to take to the stars and correct the mistakes of your peers - the pixel-art JRPG Virgo Versus The Zodiac is bringing its precision-timed combat and gorgeous style to Switch on Aug. 23. Pre-order the game on your platform of choice today for $19.99.

Today’s news was accompanied by a gorgeous animated trailer showcasing the journey you’ll take as the Dreadful Queen… no, that’s what the heretics call you… the journey you’ll take as the Holy Queen, Virgo, to right the wrongs across the galaxy. Oh, and the alpacas you’ll ride on throughout.

Virgo’s quest to restore the cosmos is a righteous one. The Holy Queen is going to bring back the Golden Age of the Zodiac Realms, a period of peace and balance. Some might call her quest unforgiving, and even twisted, but those heretics don’t know what they’re talking about. Virgo’s worldview is correct, and anyone who stands in her way to stop her is a villain. She is definitely the hero of this story.

Virgo Versus The Zodiac utilizes precision timing combat elements to add an additional layer of skill to its turn-based gameplay. Learn your enemies, counter their attacks and time your holy strikes correctly to smash through their defenses. Virgo Versus The Zodiac forgoes random encounters, instead opting for bespoke, unforgiving battles designed specifically for your quest. This journey through the Zodiac Realms will take you to an array of diverse locations full of people and items to interact with, including the other Zodiacs themselves. Explore well, though, as depending on your interactions, the fate of the cosmos could change drastically. Oh, there’s also a shoot ’em up mode if you’re in the mood. Just in case.
