Holy crap, Code of Princess!

[MrPopo]

Whilst I'm glad to see this getting a western released, I'm a bit concerned it's Atlus that are doing so. Atlus have a pretty bad track record when it comes to Europe, and I'd really likie to play this.

You mean how Atlus USA is an American localizer and so Europe requires a European-based localizer?

If Code of Princess is anything like Guardian Heroes, the RPG elements are the last reason you would want to play it. The game is a beat em' up with a fighting game engine.

It's not an RPG, it's a Beat em Up with some RPG elements. It's like Streets of Rage with experience points and magic. It's spiritual predecessor Guardian Heroes is a bit of a cult classic and was a ton of fun, so this is exciting for fans of that game and beat em ups in general.

Well it appears I'm a tad uninformed.

I guess I'll have to get my RPG fix elsewhere then.

Pretty much. What I was trying to say was that I wish it had been a company that were likely to publish in Europe too.

You do raise an interesting concern, however. I can see how the trailer could pass the game off as an RPG of sorts.

This is the first time I've really tried looking for gameplay footage.

Looks fantastic. Very Guardian Heroes.

Review *warning, possible spoilers* Oh and possibly NSFW for obvious character design reasons...

[wip3outguy7]

Well, this comes out next week. I think I'm going to buy it even though I don't have a 3DS and then try to find a cheap system later.

[Duane Dibbley]

Looks pretty interesting. Could be a good reason to pick up a 3DS someday.

[AppleQueso]

I'd maybe be interested in this, but the character designs are incredibly off-putting to me.

[BoneSnapDeez]

Could be worse, the characters could look like the ones in Dragon's Crown.

Somehow I find the Dragon's Crown character designs to be better than the Code of Princess ones. Code of Princess stays fairly realistic in character proportions and such, whereas Dragon's Crown is so over the top that it turns into a stylized thing.
