Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines

Here's an interesting game that came out in Japan this July for the PS Vita, and is scheduled for a later international release (date still unspecified).


Known as Ore no Shikabane wo Koete Yuke 2 (俺の屍を越えてゆけ2, "Over My Dead Body 2") in Japan, it is a 2014 Japanese role playing game for the PlayStation Vita and a sequel of the original 1999 game of the same name (left), which was never released for the Western market.
It received a PSP remake in 2011, (right) also for Japan only.


The gist of this game (and the 1st) is that your family has been hit with 2 curses by the antagonist; a rapid-aging curse that causes a family member to grow up rapidly and die within 2 years, and an infertility curse that makes them unable to bear children with mortals. Fortunately, the deities of Japan are willing to let you "breed"* with them to produce children to continue your bloodline in the hope that they can defeat the big bad and end the curse.

The aim of the game is to manage your family line by "breeding"* with various deities, which you summon by gaining divine points from monster hunting and dungeon crawling. (*NOTE: No suggestive imagery or events happen here, this is NOT an ero-game.)

Children then can be assigned a warrior skill class that will allow them to make up the family's adventuring party. Classes include Fighters, Dancers, Swordsmen, etc.

If anyone here has ever played the 1st or 2nd games and would like to share their 2 cents on it, or would like to contribute any further info on this game, please feel free to drop a post here.
