Check out the trailer below:
Dream Tactics takes place in the Dream World, and stars Neru, a young witch. To save the Dream World from danger, Neru will have to assemble a team and take the fight to the Pillows, who seek to trap the residents of the Dream World in an endless slumber. Combat in Dream Tactics takes place on a grid-based map, and actions are governed by hands of cards.
