Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden 2022
Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden is a 2022 role-playing video game developed by Alim and published by Square Enix for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Windows. It was released for Android and iOS in 2023. The game uses the aesthetic of a tabletop role-playing game, where players control a young man who guides a magical maiden on her journey to gather relics and defend their homeland from ruin. Players travel between towns, complete story quests and engage in turn-based battles.
After the 2021 release of Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars, Alim started work on a sequel, with creator Yosuke Saito aiming for a longer series. The first game’s team returned, including creative director Yoko Taro, artist Kimihiko Fujisaka and music group Monaca. Production took four months. Though it reused the same gameplay and setting as the original, the story was crafted by Yuki Wada to be more somber in tone. Critics responded favorably, praising the improved narrative and artwork compared to the first game, although they noted the gameplay lacked innovation. A sequel titled Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden was launched in September 2022.
