You know what's sad? That we have characters of unreleased series such like Valkyria Chronicle 3 that are present, yet not having their game released (whereas few niche game would hardly be localized, franchises like VC is a different story).

SilverSyko · 2013-01-21, 16:36

If this was anything but a grid-based SRPG I would be thrilled.

I hate this sort of gameplay, so as as much as I love the concept and the fact it's actually going to be localized I'm gonna have to pass.

(And the lack of Sonic and Tails depresses me.)

It's extremely rare for games like this to get localized. So in a sense, one could consider this development to be somewhat of a miracle. Anyways, I'm pretty excited about this. Finally there's a 2nd 3DS game I actually plan on getting.

DingoEnderZOE2 · 2013-01-22, 15:54

Yay more exposure for Sakura Taisen characters. Now I have yet another reason to get a 3DS along with Phoenix Wright 5, and Phoenix Wright vs Layton

-Sho- · 2013-01-22, 16:05

Now waiting for the same thing for SRT UX.

でもでもでも Demo! Up on NoE eshop!
Another demo will available next month! source: silconera

Sides · 2013-05-26, 04:55

Love the demo, and best part, for me at least, is that it has the japanese voices in it!
"Demo A" is basically just one battle and you can experiment with he combat mechanism. It doesn't go to much into the story, but it is a a good thing, as it highlight the key mechanics of the gameplay, without spoiling too much.

Sides · 2013-06-05, 03:02

Demo is up on the NA eshop, since yesterday! Spread the love

Bonta Kun · 2013-07-06, 13:45

This game is fing awesome, is what this game is!

Only played an two hours and admittedly haven't gotten far as I'm trying to take it all in as I go(still not sure what half this stuff is

)

Can't wait to dig deeper!

Shadow5YA · 2013-07-06, 14:19

So judging from the reactions I'm seeing, this is a vast improvement over Namco X Capcom?

Duo Maxwell · 2013-07-06, 15:31

Yes, but it's still a time sink. They are kinda overdoing with the reinforcement in this game. Imagine breaking through 50 enemy units, and each one take you roughly 1 to 2 minutes.

Still, I'm clocking at 20 hours of continuous playing already

. Be able to fully understand character interaction is a wonderful thing. Something I missed out in SRW.

I love that No.17 Valkyrie joke

Sute443 · 2013-07-07, 17:01

Finished my first playthrough a few days ago, and I'm back up to Chapter 14. really, really loving this game. The combat, the character interactions, the settings (that I've recognized) are all top notch. Even the story isn't all that bad. If you make a couple inferences about how some dead characters come back, everything makes sense.

And even if you think the story is garbage, it's worth it to read through the text just so you don't miss any of the jokes. There's a hilarious Firefly reference in chapter 26, and I pity anyone and everyone who misses it.

Von Himmel · 2013-07-07, 19:09

How many hours does this game has for one playthrough? I'm thinking of beating this game while I'm stuck grinding for Overclock but I'm afraid that I'll invest too much time for this and forget about overclock

Sute443 · 2013-07-07, 20:04

It's pretty long. You'd be looking at about 50-60 hours. My own playthrough lasted 52 hours, 10 minutes.

RadiantSoul · 2013-07-10, 17:59

I started playing the game yesterday, man is this fun. I'm on chapter 9 or 10 right now, and the battles are starting to get pretty long. Maybe it's just me, but battles haven't been this long in strategy rpgs since the 90s.

Well I tried to play it..still on prologue though

Seeing that the prologue stage took a while to finish, I'd imagine how long this game would be

Guess I'll save this for later

RadiantSoul · 2013-07-17, 16:30

Anyone else getting annoyed how long these battles are taking? I've played my share of strategy rpgs, but never has a battle taken me 1hr and 30 mins to complete. I might have to limit myself to one battle a day at this rate.

C.A. · 2013-07-18, 13:38

Long battles are nothing if you are really a hardcore SRPG player, I've spent a week on a single stage of SRW@3 just to max out the kills on the enemies unlimited spawning.

The problem here is the battle system requires too much repetitive attention. After NamcoXCapcom, SRWOG Endless Frontier and Exceed, this battle system has become too tedious.

This game is mostly good because of fanservice, both animation and cross over character interactions.

RadiantSoul · 2013-07-18, 18:34

While you make a good point, I still think it's the length that makes the game aggravting at points. Post-game Disgaea gets you used to repetitive actions through the endless amounts of grinding. The battle system forcing you to pay attention is better than attempting to keep your attention after playing a game for about 6+ hours straight. The problem is that a single turn ends up taking a 1-2 minutes. This is just speaking from my experience with SPRGs, but usually a turn with a single character takes around 10-30 seconds top.

I agree, the best part of the game is seeing some of your favorite characters meet and interact with each other.
