God Wars: The Complete Legend, a tactical RPG set in Feudal Japan, has been removed from Nintendo's eShop. Developed by Kadokawa and published by NIS America, the game's removal has left gamers puzzled and somewhat disappointed. This article delves into why the game was delisted, its history, and what alternatives exist for tactical RPG enthusiasts. Historical Context of God Wars: The Complete Legend Initially released in 2018, God Wars: The Complete Legend allows players to engage in large-scale tactical battles inspired by Feudal Japan. The game received mixed reviews, garnering a Metacritic score of 70. Until recently, it was priced at $39.99 but had been on sale for $3.99 until August 28. NIS America announced the game’s delisting in June, though no official reason has been provided. Reasons for Delisting and Current Availability While the exact reason for the removal remains undisclosed, it is noteworthy that five other titles published by NIS America have also left the Nintendo eShop platform recently. This raises speculation that licensing issues could be the underlying cause. For those still interested, the game is available on Steam for $5.99, and as of now, there is no notice of its removal from that platform. Precedence in Nintendo's History The disappearance of games from Nintendo eShop isn’t an uncommon occurrence. Earlier this year, the digital stores for both the 3DS and Wii U were closed, marking an end to a significant chapter in Nintendo's digital history. During that time, hundreds of titles were pulled from availability, and some developers even provided free codes for players to secure these games before they disappeared. Alternatives for Tactical RPG Fans For gamers who missed the chance to purchase God Wars: The Complete Legend, other options are available on the Nintendo Switch. Players fond of turn-based RPGs might enjoy Earthbound-inspired Undertale or the classic Dragon Quest 11. Those who appreciate the Persona series may find Blue Reflection: Second Light engaging, with its elements of school life. For a lighter tone, West of Loathing offers a comedic turn-based western adventure. Conclusion The removal of God Wars: The Complete Legend from Nintendo eShop is disheartening for fans of tactical RPGs, especially given its unique setting and the absence of an official reason for its delisting. While it is unfortunate that this title is no longer available, several alternative games in the tactical RPG genre remain accessible on the Nintendo Switch platform. With options like Undertale, Dragon Quest 11, and Blue Reflection: Second Light, tactical RPG enthusiasts still have a wealth of choices for their gaming experience. Also Read:
