Last year, Bandai Namco released on Switch Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remastera compilation bringing together the two role-playing games of MonolithSoft And tri-Crescendo published in the early 2000s on GameCube and developed by logicalbeat. Even before its launch, a PC version had been spotted with a South African classification body, before being forgotten. It was without warning that the publisher announced last night that it is now available on Steamtrailer included. Not sure that such shadow drop is beneficial, especially at this time when players have their eyes focused elsewhere.
So you can go in the store Valve and get you a Launch Edition (Month 1 Edition) of Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster bringing together Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean as well as Baten Kaitos Origins, which includes a bonus artbook digital… in Japanese. As its name suggests, it will remain available for one month, until July 17, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. A slight discount is also applied until July 1, dropping its price from €49.99 to €44.99.
If you are not familiar with these two games, below is the description of them. Steam :
The Wings of the Heart take flight again
Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean and Baten Kaitos Origins are now available on Steam with improved graphics and new features to help you progress in the gamewhich make them even easier to play!
Immerse yourself in the world of Baten Kaitos as you plan your strategy with the unique card-based combat system in these two immersive RPG masterpieces. Play as a Guardian Spirit who guides a small, colorful troop as they struggle with destiny.
In the past, men and an evil god faced each other in a terrible conflict. After a fierce battle, Men managed to seal the evil god, but this war left behind only a desolate land. Men then decided to abandon this earth and go live in the sky.
These tales became legends. Humans grew wings called Heart Wings and lived a peaceful existence. This era was long and quiet… But its collapse had silently begun.
It is when a young man calls you by your name, the name of a spirit, that this story begins. A story that takes place on a continent suspended in the air and where thoughts and prayers mix.
Magnus’ unique combat system
In the world of Baten Kaitos, the true essences of all things, including those of equipment and items, can be extracted and stored within cards called Magnus. The contents of a Magnus can be released at any time, returning the essence of the magna sealed within it to its original form.
These Magnus form the basis of the Baten Kaitos combat system.
The clashes take place in real time, and you will therefore need to react quickly to select the right Magnus depending on the situation.
Strategize against enemies of various elements using elemental Magnus yourself,
and experiment by mixing and matching different Magnus to discover and unlock powerful combo attacks!
