Vantasy Crusade

Vantasy Crusade is an announced upcoming role-playing game developed by Round 1 Industries and projected to be published by Imaginate.

Vantasy Crusade serves as a spin-off of the 2019 action role-playing game Crystal Heroes. The game follows protagonist Petra, along with the help of her spiritual assistant Acilia, as she must become the next Light of the Knights. However, evil is rising as antagonist Edge makes a move on getting rid of the world's energy and uses it to bring the world nothing but darkness and despair.

The game will be released in 2021.

Exploration
Vantasy Crusade will be having the same type of engine that was used for Neo but sort of different. Players can navigate areas and collect items, as well as solving mystery puzzles at times.

Combat
In the meantime, they'll be encountering enemies. This will take the player in the battle sequence with up to 4 team members going up against 4-5 enemies. You only have 5 battle choices; Attack, Defend, Item, Special and Tactics. Attack is simple, you do melee attacks about 2-3 times. Defend makes you invulnerable to weak melee and special attacks but are vulnerable to normal and hard melee and special attacks. Item lets you pick a item you've collected during exploration. Special lets you pick a special ability with the help of your spiritual assistant and perform it to victory against the enemy. And lastly, Tactics can make you choose a setting choice such as analyzing you and your team members/the enemy, switch the normal character with their spiritual assistant to do the job or otherwise find a way to flee from the battle.

Spiritual Assistant
Spiritual Assistants are the deuteragonists of the game. They serve as a supporting being who helps the hero/villain. They were originally real people who died under some conflicting circumstances and protect those who cares for them.

Development
After completing Neo, Imaginate are having no interest of making a sequel. However, they're in more of a fantasy taste for a change, which led them and Round 1 Industries to create some sort of fantasy RPG game.
