Watch the new trailer below:
The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily is a strategy RPG starring Scarlet, the duchess of the Imperial Kingdom. Scarlet is falsely accused of regicide and sent to the guillotine, but a mysterious girl named Lily saves her from certain death. Lily holds the power of “streaming” alongside the best aerial warship in the entire Empire.
Players will combine Scarlet’s wit and Lily’s technological expertise to lead a rebellion against the Imperial Kingdom. As the villainess, Scarlet may use Lily’s livestreaming powers to lead the revolution and influence imperial ground troops in turn-based strategy RPG combat.
Spread uncertainty among generals, create diversions, and strike at critical points to bewilder the Imperial armies. While livestreaming and battling imperial troops, Scarlet and Lily may gain valuable allies and forge deep relationships to bring the best out of their forces.
Lastly, The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily will launch with English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean language options.
