Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians gets a three hour gameplay stream
On June 1, Little Orbit held a livestream to show off gameplay of the first 3 missions for Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians. In what has been a tumultuous development over the last several years, this stream finally showcases an extensive look at the game in action.
Unsung Story is a tactical RPG that ran a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2014, raising more than $600,000 for the project, and promised some big names such as Yasumi Matsuno (Final Fantasy Tactics) outlining the game's narrative and Hitoshi Sakamoto (Final Fantasy XII) contributing to the musical score. However, subsequent development of the game stalled and original developer Playdek abandoned the project. Little Orbit acquired everything related to Unsung Story in 2017, and promised to bring the game to completion and deliver all the Kickstarter backer bonuses.
Find the stream below, alongside a description and in-development screenshots from the game's official website. Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians is currently set to release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, with no release date given.
