Hello all,

I’m excited to share a detailed concept for Dragon Knight Mobile, a tactical turn-based strategy RPG designed for mobile devices, inspired by the classic Dragon Knight series and the polished gameplay of Langrisser Mobile.

 Concept Overview

• Genre: Tactical Turn-Based Strategy RPG

• Platform: Mobile (iOS & Android)

• Art Style: High-quality anime-inspired character portraits paired with pixel or 2.5D tactical sprites

• Monetization: Free-to-play with optional gacha summons for heroes and cosmetic items (no pay-to-win emphasis)

 Core Gameplay Features

Grid-Based Tactical Combat

• Battles take place on a hex or square grid, featuring terrain types like forests, hills, rivers, and ruins that affect movement and defense.

• Turn-based combat with a focus on positioning, skill combos, and timing counters.

• Unique “Link” and “Chain” skills activate when heroes are adjacent, encouraging thoughtful team formation.

Diverse Hero Collection & Growth

• Players summon from over 100 unique heroes, including knights, mages, beastfolk, dragonslayers, and mythical creatures.

• Each hero has their own class, detailed skill trees, and evolution paths (e.g., Knight → Paladin or Dark Knight).

• Affinity system builds relationships between heroes, unlocking team buffs and special story interactions.

Rich Story & Branching Campaign

• Explore the continent of Eldoria, fractured by war after the disappearance of the legendary Dragon Knight.

• Player choices influence alliances, faction power balances, and multiple story endings.

• Each faction—Kingdom of Virelda, Dominion of Drae, Obsidian Cult, etc.—has unique campaigns and side quests.

Online & Social Gameplay

• Competitive PvP Arena with seasonal rankings and rewards.

• Guild system for cooperative raids, territory wars, and social interaction.

• Frequent live events with special bosses, limited-time heroes, and story chapters.

Customization & Progression

• Equip heroes with weapons, armor, and accessories to tweak stats and unlock new abilities.

• “Limit Break” system to exceed level caps and unlock ultimate powers.

• Cosmetic skins and mounts to personalize heroes without impacting gameplay balance.

 Art & UI

• Anime-style detailed hero portraits, showing expressions and emotions during battles and dialogues.

• Smooth pixel or 2.5D tactical sprites with fluid attack and skill animations reminiscent of Langrisser Mobile.

• Clean, mobile-optimized UI with intuitive controls, skill buttons, and quick menus for effortless gameplay.

• Vibrant visual effects for skills, environmental ambiance, and cinematic camera zooms.

 Audio

• Orchestral and fantasy-themed soundtrack with dynamic shifts during exploration and combat.

• Fully voiced dialogues for main characters and important story scenes, supporting multiple languages.

• Immersive sound effects for weapon clashes, magic spells, and battlefield ambience.

Development Roadmap (Conceptual)

Sounds pretty ambitious... what is your expertise, such as coding, art, audio? This looks like a medium to large team will be needed.

Also there are some issues within your concept... in fact it is not very detailed at all, more like a list of advertisements and very generalized features. For example:

Battles take place on a hex or square grid

Well which one is it? A detailed concept should have this decided.

Players summon from over 100 unique heroes, including knights, mages, beastfolk, dragonslayers, and mythical creatures. Each hero has their own class, detailed skill trees, and evolution paths (e.g., Knight → Paladin or Dark Knight). Affinity system builds relationships between heroes, unlocking team buffs and special story interactions.

Woah, over 100 heroes, with their own skill tree, and relationships between them? Special story interactions? (not just story for each individual?) That's a huge project by itself. Later in the document you mention at Beta time you'll have ~30 heroes which will supposedly take 9 months. Chances are it will take longer, but even so, that sort of means 100 heroes will take about 30 months.

Frequent live events with special bosses, limited-time heroes, and story chapters.

Fully voiced dialogues for main characters and important story scenes, supporting multiple languages

Sounding more and more ambitious here. Voice acting in one language is a big deal. And live events... well, you're going to need staff to support that every month.

I agree with Magicsofa above, this game concept is too ambitious and some lines are unclear, such as these:

Each faction—Kingdom of Virelda, Dominion of Drae, Obsidian Cult, etc.—has unique campaigns and side quests.

Smooth pixel or 2.5D tactical sprites with fluid attack and skill animations reminiscent of Langrisser Mobile.

However the real issue is who is going to make this game? and why are you posting this concept here?
