《神盾力量：斯科里安戰爭》是由經典戰棋遊戲啟發而誕生的全新戰術角色扮演作品，帶有濃厚的復古情懷卻又注入現代美學。以2.5D像素藝術為核心視覺風格，延續《最終幻想戰略版》、《火焰之紋章》以及《光明力量2》等傳統戰棋遊戲的精神，並在戰術深度與敘事手法上進一步升級。官方已在2025年9月2日於Steam平台推出限時試玩版，可率先體驗長達90分鐘的遊戲內容。

劇情方面，背景設定在伊亞努亞大陸，這片土地長期被魔法與科技兩大陣營分裂，雙方國家陷入持續百年的戰爭，卻沒有人記得戰爭的真正起源。將隨著三位童年好友——卡隆·羅斯（Callon Roth）、奧弗斯·馬格納里克（Orvus Magnaric）、薇黛特·凱恩（Vedette Kairn）——踏上冒險，他們原本只是普通士兵，卻因戰亂而被推上歷史舞台。在旅程中，將不斷擴充隊伍，招募盜賊、法師、戰士、工程師等超過15位獨具特色的角色，一同揭露古代武器的秘密、破解陰謀、對抗怪物，並在友情與背叛交織的過程中逐步逼近「斯科里安戰爭」的真相。

在操作上，以方格為基礎的回合制戰鬥為核心，每一步移動與技能使用都可能改變戰局。主角卡隆擁有「戰術魔導士」（Tactimagus）的特殊力量，可以透過多樣化的法術與技能來引導隊伍走向勝利。戰鬥中，角色之間的合作是關鍵，當羈絆加深時還能解鎖強力的「連攜攻擊」（Tach Attacks），以華麗且致命的方式逆轉局勢。隨著遊戲進程，角色可以透過升級與轉職獲得新的能力，玩家則能依據個人策略自由組合隊伍，打造專屬於自己的戰術風格。

在劇情體驗上，提供長達30小時的單人故事冒險，以情感驅動的敘事方式推動劇情。將面對強權陰謀、意想不到的挑戰與抉擇，並見證角色之間的關係隨著旅程發展而逐步深化。遊戲不僅止於戰場策略，更呈現角色間的情感糾葛與成長。

市場評價方面，一經公開便吸引大量關注，特別是懷念16位與32位元時代戰棋遊戲的玩家。其復古與現代交融的像素風格被視為亮點，精緻的2.5D畫面既保留傳統像素藝術的溫度，又透過光影與細節展現現代遊戲的質感。試玩版推出後，玩家普遍認為戰鬥手感紮實，策略深度豐富，劇情鋪陳具有吸引力。許多評論指出，《神盾力量：斯科里安戰爭》有潛力成為近年最受矚目的戰術RPG之一，不僅能滿足老玩家的懷舊情懷，也能吸引新世代玩家進入這片充滿魔法與科技衝突的世界。

Shield of Aegis: The Scorian War is a brand-new tactical role-playing game inspired by classic strategy titles, blending strong retro charm with modern aesthetics. Featuring 2.5D pixel art as its core visual style, the game carries forward the spirit of classics such as Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem, and Shining Force II, while elevating both tactical depth and storytelling. On September 2, 2025, the developers released a limited-time demo on Steam, allowing players to experience up to 90 minutes of gameplay in advance.

The story is set on the continent of Ianua, a land long divided between two factions—magic and technology—locked in a century-long war that no one remembers the true cause of. Players will follow the journey of three childhood friends—Callon Roth, Orvus Magnaric, and Vedette Kairn—ordinary soldiers thrust into the spotlight of history by the chaos of war. Along the way, players will expand their forces, recruiting over 15 unique characters including thieves, mages, warriors, and engineers. Together, they will uncover the secrets of ancient weapons, unravel conspiracies, battle monsters, and, amidst bonds and betrayals, gradually approach the hidden truth behind the Scorian War.

Gameplay centers on grid-based, turn-based combat, where every move and ability can change the outcome of battle. The protagonist, Callon, wields the unique power of a Tactimagus, using a wide array of spells and skills to lead the team toward victory. Cooperation between characters is essential; as bonds grow stronger, players unlock powerful “Tach Attacks,” visually stunning and devastating combo moves that can turn the tide of combat. Characters can level up and change classes to gain new abilities, while players customize their team composition and tactics to match their own playstyle.

The narrative offers a 30-hour single-player campaign, driven by emotional storytelling. Players will face political intrigue, unexpected challenges, and difficult decisions, while watching characters’ relationships deepen as their journey unfolds. The game is not only about battlefield strategy, but also about the emotional struggles and personal growth of its cast.

Market reception has been highly positive since the game’s reveal, especially among fans nostalgic for the 16-bit and 32-bit era of strategy RPGs. Its fusion of retro and modern pixel art is considered a standout feature, with its refined 2.5D visuals maintaining the warmth of classic sprite art while leveraging lighting and detail that modern technology makes possible. Following the demo release, players praised the solid feel of the combat, the depth of strategy, and the engaging narrative. Many critics have noted that Shield of Aegis: The Scorian War has the potential to be one of the most notable tactical RPGs in recent years, appealing not only to long-time fans of the genre but also to a new generation of players drawn into its world of conflict between magic and technology.
