Live A Live is a bit like Octopath Traveller if you didn't know how to say Octopath Traveller's name out loud.
are due out in June, and now the formerly Switch-exclusive remake of beloved RPG Live A Live willThe original Live A Live came out for the Super Famicom in 1994, and let you play as a bunch of different protagonists with their own stories. It's pretty Octopath-esque, which only makes sense given that Octopath was something of a spiritual successor to Live A Live.
Combat was turn-based, and pitted you against era-appropriate enemies like cavemen, cowboys, or, uh, bikers. I'm pretty sure a dragon was in there too. All very Chrono Trigger, but sadly unavailable outside Japan. That is, until it got a full-fledged remake last year. Replacing the original's SNES-era graphics with the sumptuous 2.5D you'll recognise from the Octopath games, it was generally well received by fans and critics, even if it was moored on a strange, hybrid platform the kids are calling a"Nintendo Switch".
Well, no more. Square Enix has made a rare good decision and decided to break the game free of its console shackles. It's not actually live on Steam just yet, for reasons I can't fathom, but it should be up in the very near future for preorders. There will also be a demo for you to try out when it finally pops up, which will let you play through the opening sections of three of the game's stories.
