Battles are no longer fought by honorable knights loyal to a nation, but by mercenaries who sell their services to the highest bidder.\n\nAs the leader of a mercenary squad, the player will lead their troops across a battle-scarred continent, overcoming obstacles and adversaries as they complete quests doled out by each nation. In doing so, they will unravel the mystery behind the downfall of a mighty empire.\n\nWith an impressive battle system that combines fast-paced action with strategic planning, and featuring robust character creation and customization options, Grand Kingdom is a Tactical RPG the likes of which has never been seen before. Assemble a squad of mercenaries, form an exclusive contract with one of the Four Great Nations, and participate in war with other players online for the future of Resonail.\n\nBut remember- in this new age of war, there is only room for one Grand Kingdom.","110475\u002Fco2q9m_webp","110475\u002Fgblvarplyoj47qryomlp_webp","https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002Fikf2kcLiiUs","2015-11-19",71.89,19163,"grand-kingdom",null,[19,24,27],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":21},"Spike Chunsoft",false,true,{"company":25,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":26},"NIS America",{"company":28,"developed":23,"published":22},{"name":29},"Monochrome",[31,32,33],"Role-playing (RPG)","Strategy","Tactical",[35],"PlayStation 4",[37,53,68,83,98,113,128,142,157],{"id":38,"author":39,"outlet":42,"summary":48,"review_url":49,"review_date":50,"original_score":51,"normalized_score":52},81744,{"id":40,"name":41},6526,"Josh Torres",{"id":43,"logo":44,"name":45,"website_url":46,"score_format":47},44,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FRPGSite%20Logo.jpg","RPGSite","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.rpgsite.net\u002F","10","Boasting a compelling battle system, this RPG has a few missteps in its ambition to expand the genre in creative ways.","https:\u002F\u002Frpgsite.net\u002Freview\u002F4922-grand-kingdom-review","2016-07-22","6",60,{"id":54,"author":55,"outlet":58,"summary":63,"review_url":64,"review_date":65,"original_score":66,"normalized_score":67},46390,{"id":56,"name":57},4045,"Jowi Girard-Meli",{"id":59,"logo":60,"name":61,"website_url":62,"score_format":47},37,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002Fplaystation-lifestyle-logo.png","Playstation Lifestyle","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.playstationlifestyle.net\u002F","I love it when I play something that doesn’t quite feel like anything else I’ve played before. Maybe it’s just because the “safe” way to go is used so often in this industry, but — fun times with the games aside — I more often than not feel like I’m playing just another variation on a familiar formula. Now, Grand Kingdom’s not so radically different as to alienate anyone; on the contrary, it’s perfectly in keeping with some of the most venerable traditions of the strategy RPG genre. But I knew as soon as I played the demo at PAX East that it was doing just enough new things to potentially be an unexpected treat for PS4 and Vita owners. Now that I’ve got my hands on the full version, I’m delighted to see that taking these risks has paid off: it may take a little more patience than the average JRPG, but I think Grand Kingdom will become a beloved timesink for a certain segment of its audience.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.playstationlifestyle.net\u002Freview\u002F499333-grand-kingdom-review-solid-strategy-ps4\u002F","2016-06-23","9",90,{"id":69,"author":70,"outlet":73,"summary":79,"review_url":80,"review_date":81,"original_score":82,"normalized_score":52},82899,{"id":71,"name":72},6634,"Cody Maynard",{"id":74,"logo":75,"name":76,"website_url":77,"score_format":78},128,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FThe-Outerhaven-Logo.jpeg","The OuterHaven","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theouterhaven.net\u002F","5","Grand Kingdom had me really interested in the beginning (especially with that sweet intro theme), and I enjoyed my first few hours of play.
