Trailer
PROGRESS ORDERS debut traileris out now on YouTube.
The trailer video is, unfortunately, in Chinese, and the UI is quite cluttered.
Also, exploration seems exciting, especially in 3D.
However, combat seems to be in pixelated 2D style.
Still, the gameplay does look fun, especially with the freedom to nurture romantic relationships.
It may also surpassRune Factory 5, which was a bit of a bummer.
The only issue is whether the game will make it to the West.
The screenshots on Steam are in English.
So, thats hopeful.
Plus, localization usually takes a while.
In any case, heres to hopingPROGRESS ORDERSdelivers on its promise of a thrilling guild story and adventure.
That isnt too far away, suggesting the development of the game is in its final stages.
Unfortunately, the game will only be released in Japan.
Nevertheless, we can confirm that the game will be coming to Nintendo Switch and PC platforms via Steam.
