You might be familiar with how Relayer plays if you tried the demo that came out last month. For those who haven’t or would like a refresher, here’s a new Systems trailer that should suit your needs. Make sure to listen for small samples of the game’s English dub in the video. Refer to the following links for Korean and Traditional Chinese versions of the trailer.

It’s not often that new SRPGs, let alone mecha-themed ones, get made nowadays. Between this game, the upcoming Front Mission 1st and 2 remakes, and the successful Triangle Strategy though, the genre is by no means dead.
