Dragon Star Varnir coming to Switch this Summer

Idea Factory International announced today that Dragon Star Varnir will be coming to Nintendo Switch this summer in North America.

Dragon Star Varnir for the Switch will get a physical edition release and will be available through IFI’s Online Store and Limited Run Games. Gamers can pre-order the game beginning on June 15 at 9AM PT.

Here’s an overview of Dragon Star Varnir, via Idea Factory International:

Story

In a world where the bones of an ancient beast tower over the land…

The Knight Zephy is part of an order whose role is to hunt down witches—people seen as cursed beings for giving birth to dragons.

When he is almost killed on one of these missions, two mysterious witches save him from the brink of death by feeding him dragon blood.

Granted new magic abilities by their efforts, he soon finds his fate intertwined with the witches and reluctantly joins them to fight against an Empire out to destroy his kind, ruthless dragon hunters, and a witch more powerful than any in existence.

Can they fight all this and save themselves, or will his new allies succumb to the dragon’s curse…?

Key Features

Battles Take Flight – Fight enemies midair in a unique, vertically-oriented battle system. Strategically position your party at different tiers to attack and disable the enemy’s skills, one level at a time!
Enter the Dragon – Perform enough attacks to unleash the dragon within, transforming each character to unlock devastating skills and newfound strength during battle!
Become the Dragon – Weaken an enemy dragon to devour its element! When the element is pierced into a character, they can absorb that dragon’s skill tree. But at what cost…?
Madness or Riches? – Three witches depend on you to bring them dragon’s blood as food. Starve them, and they go mad. Overfeed them, and they become a dragon! Will you keep them alive or sacrifice them to obtain ultra rare items and skills? Your choices will change the game’s endings!

Dragon Star Varnir first debuted on PS4 in October of 2018 in Japan and was later released in North America on June 2019. There’s also a PC version that is available now via Steam.
