Stranger of Sword City Coming to Steam July 2016


Santa Ana, CA (April 21, 2016) – Today, NIS America announced that Stranger of Sword City is arriving on Steam this June. The Steam version of Stranger of Sword City will include a new option where you can upload an image to be a character in-game!

About the story:
Your flight crashes after passing through a mysterious portal. As the sole survivor, you awaken to an unfamiliar land lit by stars you've never seen. This land is Escario, the city of swords. Quickly marked as the Chosen One, the Stranger of Sword City, you must defend this place, and choose your allegiances carefully as you scour the land for a way home.

Key Features:
Picture Gate Now on Steam! – With the Steam version of Stranger of Sword City, you can
upload an image of yourself or any image to your party!

A Surprising Dark Fantasy – A labyrinth wouldn't be complete without the trappings of
darkness that this fantasy brings. The story and characters depart from the comedy and
lightness found in some of Experience's other games, and opts for traditional hardcore
elements like perma-death and Life Points, while infusing the gameplay with a new Ambush
system which will challenge you to decide how much risk you're willing to accept to obtain the
greatest loot.

Competition in the Dungeon – Unlike most dRPGs, Stranger of Sword City won't leave you as a
stranger among your peers. Online leaderboards will allow you to finally compete with your
friends, and strangers across the world to display your dominance in everything from the best
gear, to the fastest clear time.

Art Overwhelming – Fantasy is created by visuals and music as much as by story. In this title,
the breathtaking art throughout your travels, and abundance of character portraits available for
creating your perfect party will allow you to be truly transported into the magic of Sword City.

Please stay tuned for more Stranger of Sword City news on Steam!
