Six new screens from the upcoming PSP strategy/RPG/”bullet hell” shooter hybrid (*whew!*) set to hit retail and the PlayStation Network Store on November 9, 2010. Remember, for a limited time, buying a copy of either the retail or PSN version of the game nets you a FREE digital copy of the excellent PSP remake of Yggdra Union. Check out our other coverage of KITN here and here.
Sounds like a plan! I'm off to learn just how to pronounce “Yggdra”, as I keep endlessly rolling my g's and end up sounding like a busted Model T engine…
“Are You READY…?” For those of you who missed it, 2009's Knights in the Nightmare on the Nintendo DS was an innovative mix of isometric tactical JRPG, RTS, a bit of chess and fast-paced stylus driven “bullet hell” style shooting with a deep, complex (and often quite dramatic) storyline. The often brutal level of difficulty in the game thanks to many factors that required actual thought pre-battle and deft dancing of the stylus hand in battle made KITN a bit of a sleeper for the handheld (and a slightly expensive collectible these days). Developer Sting has taken the game and reworked it for the PSP into what's looking like one of those truly hardcore experiences for those that love their games to bite back hard.
Atlus does it again, bringing the unique SRPG/bullet hell sleeper hit from the Nintendo DS onto the PSP this October. Check out the first PSP game trailer below. The original was indeed a ton of fun and quite challenging, so it’ll be interesting to see how it plays sans stylus action with the analog stick on the PSP wide screen.
Hmmm… I wonder if we’ll ever see the Wizardry-inspired DS sleeper The Dark Spire get the PSP upgrade treatment? Now there’s a really underrated gem of a game!
"DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!"
