Atlus annonce Tears to Tiara II en Occident

Atlus USA vient d'annoncer la localisation d'un nouveau RPG tactique venu tout droit du Japon, exclusif à la PS3, que l'on doit au studio Aquaplus.

Tears to Tiara II Heir of the Overlord est attendu le 14 octobre à 39.99$ en Amérique du Nord et il promet plus de 80 heures d'aventure. Ce RPG profitera de voix japonaises et de textes en anglais. Grâce à un accord avec NIS America, le jeu sortira aussi en boite sur le Vieux Continent, dès le vendredi 7 novembre si on en croit le site officiel. Quelques images localisées et le générique en vidéo accompagnent cette annonce.

"Tears to Tiara II follows Hamilcar Barca, a young man eking his way through life indentured to the Divine Empire. But when the Empire burns an innocent girl at the stake, he unleashes a terrible secret-his unbridled rage and demonic might of the berserker. With his newfound strength, and the insistence of a goddess, Hamilcar shoulders the burden of freeing his people from the tyranny of a corrupt Empire. On his journey to free himself and his enslaved people, he will fight alongside powerful allies, beasts, and even the gods themselves. However, he must control the demon within first, lest he himself turns the world to ash.

Tears to Tiara II features:

More than 15 main characters to get to know as the story unfolds in visual novel style. From a timid lad who hides an intense hatred within to a crude war goddess who's never seen the earth below, characters will meet, forge relationships and alliances, and get pushed to their limits in the quest to free themselves from the Divine Empire.

Strategic turn-based gameplay will challenge the most battle-hardened generals with its combat. Use your allies, and even giant creatures, to help turn the tide in battle.

Joint Attacks, Consecutive Strikes, and Boost Magic mechanics add extra depth to the strategy gameplay and make for more replayability.
