On the 5th, Neptune began domestic service for the visual squad RPG ‘Erpis’.

Set against the perilous abyss of the ‘Demon Lands’, this adventure fantasy lets players become the leader of an expedition team and experience an original story facing the Demon King.

‘Erpis’ delivers both the ‘fun of watching’ and the ‘fun of choice’. Players collect and train appealing characters rendered in high-quality Live2D illustrations to form their own expedition. In each battle, they select and deploy up to eight members, and can execute diverse strategies through choices presented during combat.

Alongside the launch, a themed event for the first pickup character, ‘Ghost Samurai’, is being held. Known as the sword of the mysterious organization ‘Ghost Card’, ‘Ghost Samurai’ serves as a sturdy tank with high defense and a conditional healer, taking charge of the front line of the expedition. Through the event, the hidden story of the character will be revealed, and various rare items and exchanges to higher-tier characters are available. A special costume pass exclusive to Ghost Samurai is also available for purchase.

Two limited-time dungeons also open. ‘Monster Extermination’ grants a large amount of currency upon clearing the dungeon, while ‘Powerful Foe Subjugation’ provides high-grade in-game items when boss monsters that grow stronger by stages are defeated.

Various events have been prepared to commemorate the official domestic launch. Through a login event, players can receive abundant rewards over five days, including ‘Timi’, a top-tier 5-star explorer, and new accounts are additionally granted a 10-pull ticket.
