Granser is a story-driven RPG developed by Steve Gal and published by Pugware. Inspired by classic JRPGs, the game follows Saragat and his allies as they uncover and attempt to dismantle the sinister conspiracy of “The Core,” all while a greater ancient threat looms. The game’s narrative spans 39 chapters filled with engaging story content and meaningful side quests.
The gameplay features a unique turn-based battle system centered around Focus management, where players must master timing to maximize offensive and defensive maneuvers. Status effects and exploiting openings are crucial for victory, while active timing elements enhance both attack power and defense. The game also includes a real-time airship battle system, adding another layer of strategic depth as players navigate aerial conflicts against various foes.
Set in a world dominated by magical technology and Mana, Granser presents a rich, immersive environment where humanity rules, but shadows of ancient powers linger. Players explore an overworld map teeming with dynamic events, trade, and weather systems. Additionally, the game features special monster hunts and mini-games such as skyfishing and hover racing.

Use the active timing system to both increase your offensive power as well as block or even parry incoming attacks, or allow the dice to take control of these outcomes.
