have to be honest, kind of overlooked this game when they first announced it until i saw how similar it looked to Valkyria Chronicles. now my interest has been piqued

Ill wait for reviews and some more info

why are developers jumping the shark developing for the ps4?
it could easily be a ps3 game, or even a vita game

thanks for the update

was just about to post that

definitely getting the valkyria vibes from this one, glad ps4 is getting some rpg love, hope they announce a localisation soon would love to have this on vita.

whoops

This looks awesome! I agree also feeling Valkyria Chronicles vibes. Not that it's a bad thing, that game was great!

Its not really like VC.

Its more like a VC/ Advance Wars/ SRPG hybrid. The only thing like VC is that you control the character with the left analog, and camera with the right.

You cant just move where ever you want (be limited by step count): the game works on the natural grid system of SPRGs, except that they are not areas covered by a single creature, but by many (hence AW).

Each block on the grid is a biggish space. You can move between 2 ally spaces and then advance upon an enemy space. If you dont kill all the enemies in that space in a single turn, you retreat back to your ally space.

Valkyria Chronciles is more open then that.

Interesting, still even if its on a grid. turn-based SRPG with guns = Valkyria Chronices in my books. but even if it doesn't play like VC thats not necessarily a bad thing.

famitsu did pretty thorough run through of the system mechanics here

@Sinn: True VC was more open. Regardless I'll keep my eye on this one. Looks interesting
