Today, developer Another Angle Games and publisher Owlcat Games introduced Ishida, one of the party members in the upcoming tactical RPG Shadow of the Road. Functioning as the party’s main tank, Ishidha’s driven to protect his companions and provide some levity to the bloody battlefields of Bakumatsu-Japan. 

Ishida “the Boulder” is an impenetrable bastion on the battlefield, protecting his partners both by drawing the enemy’s ire and by dishing out huge amounts of damage. His headbutts, bear hugs, fearless charges, and swings of his gigantic nōdachi spell doom not just for human enemies, but also for yōkai and mechs. He’s quick to start fights, especially under the influence of sake,  and quick to end them  — violently. However, despite his short fuse, he is also a warmhearted epicurean and loyal friend.

Set in feudal Japan amidst a fierce rivalry between the Tokugawa Shogunate and the supporters of Emperor Mutsuhito, Shadow of the Road immerses players in a world that combines tradition and modernity, Japanese mythology, and steampunk technology. Leading a diverse group of adventurers through a dynamic, enchanting realm where decisions shape destiny, players must master different characters’ various abilities to turn the tides of the war.
