Not an RPG but, Killer7 is coming to Steam via NIS America:

Port is done by Dutch developer Engine Software in collaboration with the original developer Grasshopper, so probably less concern about being NISA'd in that part.

After Ys8 I would not be so sure if everything will go smoothly.

Still no news about the Metal Max game for Steam, I suppose, right? As for the port, I suppose they started getting to the bottom of the barrel.

It's Kadokawa's game, and they seem(ed) to have their own plan for PC releases. (Or maybe they scrapped it altogether after (seemingly) failed first attempt.

Out of nowhere, Valkyrie Profile mobile reamaster has released in NA/EU releases: https://www.rpgsite.net/news/7218-v...le-on-smarthpones-in-north-america-and-europe

For a price of $15.99, no less.



In other new, some animu RPG-ish thing powered by Unreal Engine 4, based on some mobile game IP:

How IS that Valkyrie Profile remake, anyway? Never played the original, but heard great things about it

Its less of a remake and more of a mobile port AFAIK. Control is modified for mobile and thats it. The original use one button command for each character so modifying into tap control should be piece of cake.

As per pre-PS2 tri-ACE titles. VP is a good JRPG overall. Play it on PSP emulator or something, the translation was fixed there.

Things with NISA almost never go "smoothly".

Explore this desolate wasteland as Talis, a casualty in this conflict, as he searches for allies and hope in a vengeance charged war against machines.

• Fight for Humanity – Explore the vast desert and unite with the remaining survivors to rise against the crazed machines.
• Hold Your Ground – Enemies lurk around every corner! Make a preemptive strike on your foes when they appear on the World Map from inside your tank, or disembark and explore dangerous strongholds on foot with your allies.

Nobunaga's Ambition: Taishi coming west for PC and PS4 in June (5th in NA, 8th in EU):



I see Japanese and Chinese gamers on Steam are not very impressed about this game.

Out now:

 

[InD_ImaginE]

Aaaand its blasted by negative reviews. Seems presentation/graphic is simplified and gameplay is also simplified.

 

[aweigh]

Ok, it's simplified from previous entries but for someone who's never played any Nobu Amb games at all: is still at least a decent first-experience?

 

[Terra]

I see it still has the batshit insane £50 Koei Tecmo price tag, lol. Is this the base NA game, or is this an iteration with the PUK included?
