Theshigen writes "Battleforge was a rather novel idea. It combined collectable card game mechanics with real-time strategy, something new and fresh back in 2009. It's been re-released today as Skylords Reborn. A fan-made project that's made the gamer, completely free."
SaGa series creator Akitoshi Kawazu briefly discussed a new entry in the SaGa series on Twitter today. “The next one will also have multiple protagonists,” Kawazu said in response to a tweet asking for the next game not to have several main characters.
