XSEED releases Little King's Story on August 5th: http://store.steampowered.com/app/390310/

Everyone who hasn't played it needs to get it. Everyone who has played it probably will, so I don't need to convince them.

 

[Siveon]

Is it good? Saw it on the Vita store, I think, but I wasn't too sure about it.

 

[Abu Antar]

The Vita version is different from this version. people say the Wii version is the best and this seems like a port of that.

 

[Siveon]

Noted, I wanted to get the PC version anyway due to the fact I don't want to give a single cent to Konami.

It's very good. Basically a much deeper Pikmin with RPG element and town building + management. Hard as all shit too. LKS has the hardest boss fight I ever fought in a video game in my entire life. TV Dinnah was such a bitch. The kiddie image of the game is very misleading.

 

[Martius]

Oh, so it is like Pikmin? After checking out trailer I thought so at first but I wasnt sure if thats really the case.

 

[Siveon]

Loved Pikmin 3, so, great. Thanks XSEED!

More like an Earthbound clone meets Undertale with pixelated graphics. Oh well, at least it has a free demo. I'll try it later and see if it's worth my attention.

 

[Archibald]

Looks like another Undertale.

Well idea of fictional character addressing the audience is nothing new in other types of media, so I think that we shouldn't give Undertale too much credit here.

Experience's dungeon RPG Ray Gigant is coming to Steam on August 10th http://store.steampowered.com/app/421600/

 

[Siveon]

I read it wasn't very good. Compared to Stranger of Sword City that is.

 

[Viata]

Strange, Steam added the game as if it was Bamco that developed the game.

 

[Viata]

aweigh Now there is one more crawler from Experience. Don't expect too much, though.

 

[Reinhardt]

I heard it's something like Unchained Blades - you need to train few groups, right?

The character potrtaits clash horribly with the monster art.

- 2 difficulty levels, NORMAL and RELIEF (EASY).
- Advisable to do character rotation as all units will be dispatched in the final map
- No arena fights
- Max Level 20, Class Change available for some units
- Scope is slightly shorter than Berwick Saga. A typical office worker will take about 3 months to complete
- No plans yet on developing Part II

I'm really looking forward to this one. Hopefully an english translation won't be too far behind.

 

[Siveon]

I'm hoping we'd get an official translation, but only Playism responded to me with a definite "If he wants it".

 

[aweigh]

official translation!? that's for wimps!

i prefer mine "authentic japanese" ~

 

[Hyperion]

An expart translation, indeed.

 

[LESS T_T]

Voted Shiren.

 

[Viata]

Ignoring Kenka bancho(going by google, it's not my kind of game) the other 3 are great games. Voted 428 because I never finished it on Wii and yet I loved it.
