Good day, everybody!
Another update about new Rebirth Units this time, too!
And also common units who have gotten the Flower of the Battlefield treatment...?
Well then, without further ado...!
New Challengers, The Brave Warriors of Helvetia (Part 1)
TheAngel Maid of Ice: Shushu
Backer: ラーグ (Ragu)
A maid who is also an angel who wields the power of ice.
She seems a bit airheaded and happy-go-lucky, and often has trouble expressing herself despite being a very emotive girl under that unflinching expression.
She loves her brother a lot, and has felt very lonely ever since he went missing.
As the Backer, ラーグ, is a Knight Commander in the Tentacles of the Round, Shushu will be featured in her very own scene! Do look forward to it!
Dragon of Ice & Fire: Antinomi
Backer: アンチノミー (Antinomi)
Born as a rare species of dragon with differing elements on her wings, she has struggled as a young dragon girl to control them properly, rendering her unable to fly while most could at a young age.
Until, one day...Julia caught sight of her struggling to fly, and extended a helping hand.
After that fateful encounter, Antinomi came to serve and worship Julia.
As the Backer, アンチノミー, is a Knight Commander in the Tentacles of the Round, Antinomi will be featured in her very own scene! Do look forward to it!
Spirit Angel of Fire: Wraith Valkyrie
Backer: しなもん (Cinnamon)
Having lost the goddess El Nath who she worshipped in the war, she requested the help of a certain hermit scientist to transform her into a Wraith Unit.
Seeking to avenge her fallen goddess, she protects humanity from the Damned Souls that roam the land while awaiting her chance at retribution.
Eventually, a chance to accomplish her lifelong goal has arrived on Ishta...
Crusher Nun : Diretta
Backer: よーそろー (Yo-soro-)
Once a pious priestess, she made contact with a cursed weapon, an ancient artifact, which has since caused her to seek out 'prey' to crush.
Now, armed with her pile bunker that is activated by magic, she can only be satisfied from seeing things destroyed by her hand.
Flowers of the Battlefield
Iron Maiden
Backer: マイハ (Maiha)
The Iron Maiden is an instrument of execution. Having been animated by a wraith, she now has full consciousness and a newfound awareness regarding herself and her surroundings.
With that, she took for herself the name "Mei".
After the battle in Necrograd, Mei began to harbour feelings for Leonhardt, but finds herself unable to express her love to him due to being covered in spikes.
Despite that, wanting to express her feelings to him, she seeks out the help of her former superior, the Dark Lord Elea...
Hronn
Backer: 龍国産おせんべい (Ryuukokusan Osenbei)
One of the Wave Maidens who served one known as the 'Golden Heroine' during a conflict in the Demon Realm. An extremely powerful witch who says 'unfortunate' a lot.
Having been defeated in battle by Leonhardt, Hronn was locked up in a dungeon.
There, she was informed that her 2 sisters were also captured, and Leonhardt offered her a deal. If she could resist his 'interrogation' until the very end, he would release all 3 of them...
Wraith Magia
Backer: 深渦 (Shinka)
The Wraith Magia is a mage created as a wraith weapon who is extremely adept at magic, particularly sorcery to do with Anima.
During a recent battle, the Wraith Magia did exceptionally well in battle, to the point where Leonhardt decided she deserved a special commendation...A 'reward', so to speak.
However, it looks like this specific reward will be delivered in a rather...intimate fashion.
Wraith General
Backer: an anonymous person
One of the few Wraith Units in the empire that are considered capable of being a field commander, she is the sub-commander of the Wraith Corps led by Celias.
She seems to be an acquaintance of Leon's, though she seems to dislike him somewhat and harbours a one-sided rivalry with him.
Having lost to the Black Arme Vapula in battle, he was deciding what to do with her before she suddenly approached him with an 'offer', specifically, the conditions for her surrender.
What could she be planning...?
Well, we hope you look forward to finding out in the full release!
Do look forward to finding out about the rest of the official common units in future updates!
Pre-Order Store Last Call
The pre-order store & backerkit orders will be locked at 6pm (JST) today, so this really is your final chance if you still have not made your order!
We would like to thank each and every one of you lovely backers once more for all the support you've shown us, thank you all so very much!
*Now then, for anyone who has not yet made their payment and have not informed us of a prospective payment date where it can be made, we are very sorry, but we will have to cancel your order.
＊For anyone who has already paid via Kickstarter Pledge but have not answered your backerkit survey, your item choices will default to the ones outlined in the Kickstarter FAQ under "How do I select what I want".
However, even so, we cannot deliver it without an address, so if your backerkit survey is not filled out by the final address check date, any physical items in your order are forfeit (Digital data will be left available for access by your backerkit account for some time).
New Rebirth Units Introductions Pt.3 (+1 More Frontier Gate Unit?!) + Pre-Order Store Closing Soon / 新規異世界転生ユニットの紹介3(+フロンティアゲート1人飛び入り参加？！) + プレオーダーストア締め切り間近

*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, folks!
After the previous update showed off some lovely info regarding a new character, we would like to go back to introducing you all to more new Rebirth Units!
Close, Yet Far...Helpers From Another Dimension
Magicianof the Azure Sky: Tiana
Backer: あきゃま (Akyama)
A mysterious young maiden hailing from beyond the veil of time.
Her appearance suggests that she is still in her youth, and her personality is that of a rambunctious tomboy. However, she is very adept at magic that involves messing with the fabric of time and space, and is a prodigiously talented mage who wields very potent magical power.
She appears to hold special feelings towards both Leon and Anora, often staring at them longingly from a distance...
As the backer for Tiana, あきゃま, is a knight of the Tentacles of the Round, and on top of that has purchased the 'Flower of the Battlefield' add-on, Tiana will be getting a scene of her own in VBHI! Do look forward to it!
Radiant Flame Dragon Princess: Elza
Backer: 「Expecting YOU!」
A young girl clad in military garb hailing from beyond the veil of time.
Elza is a very serious and strict girl, to the point that people might describe her as 'calm and collected'.
However, in reality, she tends to panic internally when things don't go her way.
Taking after her parents, she is physically very powerful yet very mobile as well.
The way she charges through the battlefield carving a path forward for her allies very closely resembles the majestic form of a certain dragon queen.
The 2 units introduced above are actually related to the main characters in VBHI to some extent.
Well, just by looking at their introductions, I'm sure many of you have already made the obvious connections...
Either way, we hope you look forward to their appearance in the full game!
Speaking of, we actually have another interesting piece of news involving a unit that is related to characters from the VenusBlood series...
Yes indeed, the FRONTIER GATE has re-opened!
What could this mean...? Well...
Dragon Maiden: Mio
Backer: つま～さ (Tsumasa)
Hailing from an alternate world known as Magna Sphere, she is the daughter of an Artificer-cum-Magic Researcher and a Holy Dragon Knight.
Following a long journey and some...Adverse fortune, she now finds herself in the land of Helvetia.
Having inherited genes from her holy dragon knight mother, she possesses immense physical strength and is capable of ripping apart tentacles that have conquered even the mighty Dark Lords.
Having already made the leap from the world of VBG to VBFI, Mio now finds herself transported into the world of VBHI to begin ripping apart tentacles anew!
Fellow tentacles, make sure to pay close attention to your distancing and stay away from grabbing range!
Manifestations of Darkness: Bringers of Destruction and Despair
Genesis Dragon of Duality: Eden
Backer: Metarail
The Azure Continent of Rodinia, a land that exists in an alternate dimension...
In this closed off, bird-cage like world, an anomaly was found.
A potential outcome, born from countless possibilities...
The Dragon of Genesis, the original dragon and ruler of the Divine Dragons, formed a contract with the legendary Demon God, resulting in her being able to wield both the power of Divine Light and Profound Darkness.
Seeing her in such a form, one could perhaps say that the once majestic ruler of Divine Dragons, Eden, has fallen to the temptation of darkness, resulting in her being corrupted.
LunaticGoddess of Fury: Sallya
Backer: T.N
Once a loving, kind-hearted goddess, Sallya was betrayed time and again by humanity, to the point where she went insane with grief and has descended onto the world below.
Despite destroying the alliance between humankind and demonkind and massacring everyone in her way, her grief and hatred can never be quelled.
Following her urge for vengeance, she travels through dimensions, seeking to destroy all alternate world.
Having made her way to Helvetia, it is now her goal to reduce everyone and everything that exists on this land to ash.
Crimson Tyrant: En-Ou Kisayo
Backer: shinkai
Once a kind-hearted princess from an alternate universe, her body is now the host to the vengeful spirit of a hero.
Her appearance has been warped to the point where those who once knew her can no longer recognise her, and her hatred and loathing towards the world itself has warped her personality to that of an Oni, a merciless and ruthless killer.
As if being led along by something or someone, she has travelled through dimensions and has arrived on Helvetia...
Eternal Evergreen Dragon Princess
Backer: ハムとら (Hamutora)
A former hero of draconic descent hailing from a parallel version of another world.
On the land of Zilant, humankind and Demonkind fought in a never-ending war... It was there that a hero took up her sword, seeking to put an end to all the fighting.
However...having lost to a certain small-fry pipsqueak of an Alraune early in her journey, the hero was captured and was forced to become a slave to demonkind.
Eventually, after a long period of torment, she caught the eye of a dragon researcher known as Isabella, who subjected her to many...'unethical' experiments.
Eventually, during an experiment with body modification, her draconic genes were mixed with that of an undead dragon. As a result, she underwent metamorphosis and turned into a dracaenaria.
Such is the fate of an unfortunate Hero, defeated before she could realise her true potential.
Having transformed into a very different being than what she was before, she now finds herself caught up in a different war, taking place on a different world...
Pre-Order Store Deadline is Closing In!
Just a final reminder that the deadline to buy things from the VBHI Pre-order store (as well as via the backerkit) is coming up soon! In 2 weeks, in fact.
If there was something you were eyeing and wanted to get, this is your last chance! Make sure to do so before the store closes on the 28th of this month!
Stretch Goal New Character Reveal + New BGM Tracks Reveal! / ストレッチゴール新規キャラ披露＋新規ＢＧＭ公開
almost 3 years ago
– Fri, Apr 30, 2021 at 04:38:09 AM
*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, everyone!
Another extremely juicy update today with information we're sure many were waiting impatiently for!
So, without further ado, let us get going with this update!
Stretch Goal Character Reveal
The second and final new stretch goal character after Iris in the previous corresponding update...Alioth!
Seerof the Stars: Alioth
“This world, the you that is in front of me...Is it but a dream I am having? Or am I perhaps simply a resident of said dream...? I certainly wonder what the correct answer to this question is...”
Now then, if you're someone who has played the original VBH, this name might seem familiar to you!
Maybe not as much as the previous new character, Iris, but those who have paid close attention to the story should at least have some inkling!
Here is a short introduction to the role she will play in VBHI:
A free and unrestrained travelling fortune teller who leads a band of historical heroes.
Appearing before Leonhardt who was leading the Vanguard of the Empire’s forces, she offers to aid him in his efforts.
She is capable of using extremely powerful and potent magic without the aid of any Tactica, and she often questions Leonhardt on various things. To what end, you may ask? Perhaps nobody but her may ever know.
Alioth...An ally claiming to have travelled far an wide, leading an eccentric entourage.
But, she will surely be a tremendous help to Leonhardt on his journey to fulfill his ambition.
Not to mention, she seems to have a peculiar interest in Anora...But to what end?
Well then, do look forward to her appearance in the full version of VBHI!
---------
New BGM Tracks
Now then, remember Stretch Goal 2 had a point that said "New in-game BGM"? Well, it's not like we meant only a single track or anything! Hah, in fact, we would like to share 2 new BGM tracks with you all today!
The Storm Begins
Blade of Conflict
We hope you enjoy listening to these tracks, and do look forward to the rest in the final release of the game!
Oh, and of course, these new tracks will also be featured in the Original Soundtrack (Both Digital & Physical)!

New Rebirth Units Introductions Pt. 2 / 新規異世界転生ユニットの紹介2
about 3 years ago
– Fri, Apr 16, 2021 at 04:25:39 AM
*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, everyone!
Continuing on from the previous update, we would like to reveal even more new Rebirth Units in this one, too!
Descent of the Mechanical Goddesses
Mechanical Eve: Tiera
Backer: 夜空(Yozora)
1 of 2 human-like robots from another world so advanced that she is considered an "Artificial God" .
Despite being a machine, she is a special one that houses within her a "heart", making her a very kind girl who looks out for her neighbours.
She has made her way through many trials and tribulations including many battles, but deep down she harbours only the simple wish to protect those important to her.
Jet-Black Artificial God: Kuon
Backer: 夜空(Yozora)
1 of 2 human-like robots from another world so advanced that she is considered an "Artificial God" .
Despite being a machine, she is a special one that houses within her a "heart", and she was originally made to be a sort of arbitrator for the relationship between humankind and machines.
She claims to have a very fierce personality, but those who know her well often say that she is a very "naive older sister type", an assessment of which she is none too pleased to hear.
Refreshing Folk from Another World
A Cornered Rat Running From Cat: Escaped Wild Rat
Backer: tyosh
A rat that was caught by a Nekomata, but somehow managed to barely escape from its clutches alive. A true survivor, a wild rat that has gone through hell.
Perhaps because of this experience, it has become extremely wary and cautious.
However, it does not know that it is destined to be captured by the vanguard of a certain army on Helvetia right now...
Kuon's Evangelist Tentacle: Tugai
Backer: つがい◇ゆあ (Tsugai Yua)
A tentacle who has succeeded in peeking and observing a being known as Kuon, of the world known as "Kikaijikake no Eve", and has come to very deeply respect and worship her.
So much, in fact, that he created original goodies of Kuon, and he now seeks to spread the teachings of (Kuon) love and how great Kuon is throughout the world of VenusBlood.
Wiggly Elixir: Destroyed Tentacle
Backer: つま～さ (Tsuma-sa)
Having been thoroughly destroyed by someone, this tentacle now has a newfound sense of extreme self-preservation, going to extreme lengths in order to preserve its life.
Shriveling back at the sight of any assertive or aggressive female life forms, it tends to get itself ready to run at a moments notice.
Any other of his kind that sees his miserable state will usually stare in pure shock and terror. However, it is said that the...juice leaking out of its stumps function as a sort of panacea, one that can cure any and all sicknesses.
Heroes of the East from Another World
TheGod of Blades'Hero: En-Ou-Ki
Backer: 龍国産おせんべい (Ryuukokusan Osenbei)
A hero from the far east, hailing from another world.
Wreathed in flames, he is an extremely powerful being despite being only human.
At first, he was content to sit out the current war on Helvetia, believing that doing anything to worsen the situation would not be a good idea.
However, as he saw what happened to the humans of the world, and the harm that was being caused to them, he has decided to take up his blade once more.
Protective Fist of Fire: Suzu
Backer: 龍国産おせんべい (Ryuukokusan Osenbei)
Once a simple blade from another world known as "Zanten" (Cutting the Heavens), she was given form after countless battles.
She might, perhaps, be a form of "Tsukumogami", a spirit that possesses an item that held great importance to someone, and was well loved by said master.
Believing that she had failed her master as his blade after he was killed in battle, she is haunted by constant regret and thus she seeks to strengthen herself after becoming human.
All for the sake of her former master, whom she dearly wishes to meet again. This time, she would fight at his side and fulfill her purpose as his blade.
Wreathing herself in flames, she uses her destructive fists of fire against her enemies, all for the sake of her master.
As the backer of this unit is a Knight Commander of the Tentacles of the Round, and has purchased multiple Flower of the Battlefield Add-ons, Suzu will be featured in not just 1, but 2 scenes! We hope you look forward to them!
*All of these titles/names &artare subject to change and may not be final
Onemore thing, the Pre-Order store closes in about 42 days (May 28 JST), so if you are still interested in purchasing items from the pre-order store, do remember to do so before the deadline!
New Rebirth Units Introductions Pt. 1 / 新規異世界転生ユニットの紹介１
about 3 years ago
– Fri, Apr 02, 2021 at 03:47:22 AM
*Japanese Translation Below (日本語訳は下の方にあります)
Good day, folks!
Now then, an announcement that I'm sure many of you were excitedly waiting for! That's right, today we will be revealing a few of the new backer units that will be joining the VBHI roster (for use in battles)!
Today, we will be revealing 7 of them to you! Do look forward to the rest in future updates!
Heroes From Another World
The Black Ice Sorceress: Naryu
Backer: Bigglack
A female mage who once consumed a demon of ice, thus absorbing its power and making it her own.
She now travels the world on a whim to fulfill her scientific curiosity of various things...And anyone who gets in her way is destined to end up as a popsicle!
It just so happened that a man by the name of "Leonhardt" recently caught her eye...
As her backer is a Knight Commander of the Tentacles of the Round, Naryu will be featured in her very own scene, so do look forward to it!
SpiritMaster: Masamilla
Backer: MasaMilla
A master of spirits from another world who is, herself, also a spirit.
Having divined, or rather, sensed a strange disturbance on Helvetia, she decided to pay the world a visit.
She is capable of using various techniques, including mastery of the elements surrounding this world and is extremely powerful. However, in order to minimise the potential problems of interfering with another world, she fights using a sword alongside a select few spells.
TheGuardian Swordswoman : Carleen
Backer: Abdulla Ahmed Alzaabi
Once a priestess in service o the church that worshipped the Goddess Elnath, she eventually took up the sword in order to survive.
Now a female mercenary who offers her skills to the highest bidder in order to earn enough money to care for the children of an orphanage.
In the current Helvetia, there are many children orphaned by the ongoing war, and as the land is mostly ruled by demons, Carleen raises these orphaned children in a remote mountain range.
Ancient Hero: Issa Kabeer
Backer: Issa Kabeer
A mysterious nobleman hero who has travelled far and wide.
Not much is known about him, but he is extremely familiar with major historical events, implying that he might have experienced them firsthand.
Beast Senpai Pouille
Backer: 不撸布鲁 (Burublue)
A great man hailing from another world.
A beast when in battle, yet a kind man who cares for his juniors. He is rather popular among some groups of young men who often call him Ketsu-Aniki (傑兄貴).
Although he looks human, he radiates the aura of a feral beast.
The Light that Illuminates the World, The Descent of the Pure-Hearted Goddesses
The Goddess of the Sun From Another World: Shamash
Backer: Kukoso
A Goddess of Creation hailing from another world.
Known as the 'Sun's Origin', she manages the gods of creation who govern over light. The form this goddess of creation takes is that of a phoenix.
When the world is in danger, she tends to approach kings or those who hold the power to save the world, posing as a seer who prophesizes the future.
She is also a god of judgement, but Shamash herself is actually a bit of a coward who feels that all the power and responsibility on her shoulders is a heavy burden.
TranscendentPrayer : Ellistrae
Backer: Kanshisha13
In an alternate dimension, there once existed a great evil that threatened to destroy the world.
It was only thanks to the compassion and love of a young Goddess who changed the heart of the great evil's only son that saved that world from certain destruction. Captured alive, she taught him that there was more to life than death and destruction.
They worked together and ultimately succeeded in vanquishing this great evil at the cost of his soul being shattered. Unable to accept his sacrifice, Ellistrae used her feathers as a catalyst for an ancient ritual, sending avatars of herself across different dimension to look for him, or at the very least, what remains of him.
To return his soul to Samsara, to bring him back into the cycle of reincarnation so that they might be reunited once more...That is her only goal.
As luck would have it, one such feather arrives on Helvetia and, sensing a certain presence, manifested as a weakened avatar of her original body.
*All of these titles/names are subject to change and may not be final
And that about does it for this week's update!
We hope that you will save some room in your army for these units, as well as look forward to future updates where we will introduce the remaining new backer units!
