Saw this during KF GDC showcase and it looks like an instant cop for me. Strategy RPG with some social sim stuff, 15 characters. The devs described the Gameplay as Into The Breach meets Digital Devil Saga

Looks like Persona.
I'm finally getting into the series after watching my younger bro demolish so many of these games.
I might be more interested in it than him since I've never played much Persona/Shin Megami but I do like the look/design.
Definitely checking.
More than likely copping.

Playing the demo right now and I'm really enjoying it. Combat was actually pretty easy to get into and I can see the difficulty ramping up in the final game. Game looks great and has an awesome soundtrack too.

Shyt looks very unique. I actually like the early-mid 90s punk aesthetic and the muted neon color palette. I am a sucker for strategy RPG. Will Cop.
