Disaster Report 4 will be published by NISA in West:

Thrust into a tragedy that touches countless lives, you must now make the decisions that will determine who lives and who dies in the chaos stemming from a natural disaster. What will you do in the aftermath of calamity?

When a massive earthquake strikes the city you’re visiting, you find yourself at the epicenter of a chaotic and catastrophic crisis. It’s up to you to rise above the calamity, gather your thoughts and your fellow survivors, and outlast the disaster. Aftershocks, fires, collapsing buildings and debris, and unstable ground are but a few of the threats you’ll face in these nightmarish circumstances. What will you do when every passing second and every snap decision could spell the difference between life and death?

Your World in Chaos - In a city on the brink of collapsing, you’ll need to make split-second decisions that will impact your safety as well as that of others.

Everybody's Got a Story - Meet your fellow survivors in a Japanese-inspired city devastated by a powerful earthquake, and see how the human spirit bends...and sometimes breaks.

Danger at Every Corner - Navigate a multitude of crises—from collapsing buildings to raging fires—in a city aplomb with peril.

I heard this entry was poorly received in Japan.

Fuck me, I thought they said this was exclusive to PS4. Love this series, maximum incline, Day 1 purchase, though I've heard NIS have been having financial woes lately so hopefully this gets released before things get any worse.

Raw Danger was better than the first entry though, they did a better job realising a flood based disaster than an earthquake, kinda expecting the same will be true here.

NIS has been having financial problems for close to a decade now and they still somehow manage to stay afloat. Don't think too much about it.

Did anyone play the original Alliance Alive? The only reason it's even on my radar is due to Yoshitaka Murayama (original creator and head writer for Suikoden 1 - 3) working on it.

I played the demo but it didn't really grab me. Too much dialogue, too much railroading and too easy. Still, it had the faint whiff of Saga and so I probably would've bought it at half price or less. I hope that the ports will be within this price range and not go for full price again, or else this will be an easy pass for me.

Not the biggest fan with some of the ultra-chibification of things, but I'll get it if it still has that great Langrisser gameplay.

To be fair, many were wondering where the first Conception game disappeared to. Turns out it never left Japan.

I guess there has been more story added since 2015, but I wonder if they're once again doing that as the main focus.

Cyber Sluts for PC and Switch announced.


It is a shame they are opening up with the worst of the new digimon games,next order is much better and more designed around the original concept of monster raising.
But i guess the cyber games are popular enough to be prioritized.

Hopefully they consider doing the Metal Max games at some point...

Can't wait for a $60 price tag because it's also coming out for Switch. But hey, at least you're getting two games.
