The last two years have been tough for many publishers and developers, so much so that even teams accustomed to triple-A productions have had serious production issues. In an era of far-flung delays and blockbusters, NIS America seems to have decided to play a quieter and more thoughtful game than most of its competitors. In fact, we recently saw squad 2022 and aside from a few interesting innovations, there’s a fairly conservative tendency to suggest titles or old classic collections that almost always belong to the same genre.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing, however, as there are quite a few titles in the gaming suite available to us that are taunting to say the least, not to mention those who love turn-based tactical RPGs will have something to lick their lips. (especially those who love them). past victories).
Here’s what we saw in a quick and useful summary of the event.
Two “big”: Disgaea 6 and Yuru Kill
First “big” arrival, Disgaea 6: Complete Edition On PC, PS5 and PS4. Of course, the fact that it’s a 2021 game isn’t a real novelty, but it marks the arrival of the historic Nippon Ichi saga to the PlayStation 5 in a version (oddly at full price) that includes all the DLC ever released. Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny was met with choppy fanfare: on the one hand, it’s full of fan service and somehow lets you practically use the saga’s most famous characters, on the other hand, it’s also considered the most simplified chapter in terms of mechanics, so much so that it has a lot of history. didn’t please his fan (especially if you think they like a brand known for their systems mania).
There Full version it should have better optimization – the new all-moving engine had obvious issues in this aspect at launch – and who knows if it didn’t reintegrate some elements lost along the way, even if the game seen didn’t give it to us? answers in this sense. It remains a solid and notable turn-based strategy.
kill Yuru instead, it’s a completely different kind of video game, and it’s probably the most interesting piece of work shown during the event. With a plot written by manga author Kakegurui, the game is actually a weird mix between a kind of “research test” and a hell of a bullet in a spaceship. As you can imagine, the plot does some good setbacks to justify this type of merger, but suffice it to say that you’ll face all of this as a prisoner at a mysterious amusement park and busy proving your innocence in the multiple murder cases pending. confrontations and sliding shots with accusers.
Yuru Kill is a totally crazy concept and we are seriously wondering where it will lead. But the gameplay seemed all too viable to us; on the other hand, there is G.Rev who is an expert in creating such titles under development. It will reach Europe on 8 July.
Flashback
The rest of the NIS presentation was, as noted, more comprehensive and predictable, also due to the existence of two parts of the NIS. NIS Classics: collections of house antiquities (given that they’re games in pairs, of course) and to be precise, it’s practically always turn-based strategy. Collection Volume 2 seemed particularly notable for its presence. Zettai Hero Projectis an old PSP game that blends turn-based strategy with powerful roguelite elements and is considered by many to be a little gem known to very few in the genre. second game, Kingdom of Makai. This collection will arrive from us on May 13.
mistake Volume 3 It doesn’t shuffle the cards excessively and includes: La Pucelle Ragnarok And Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure. And here it is, even if Rhapsody is almost unknown to us (it was a cult vehicle in Japan, excellent sales and follow-up). While Ragnarok is very interesting as a reprint of the original La Pucelle Tactics with a few new content, a new scenario and many changes to the interface and mechanics to modernize it, the age of the games makes them appealing mainly to fans of the genre. experience. . These two games will be with us on September 2nd.
There’s another glorious comeback, but this time in the form of a single remaster. In fact, it’s coming to Switch and PC September 30 Tracks from scratch: One of the titles in the JRPG series known as The Legend of Heroes and another JRPG from PSP which is not particularly known on our part due to its lack of localization. The Legend of Heroes series is very popular with Japanese RPG fans, and Trails from Zero is a missing piece that they will almost certainly want to play.
We close the list with another collection containing two parts of the series. fallen legion, or rather Revenants and Rise to Glory. These are two Indonesian JRPGs, again far from the mainstream, but made interesting with a combat system reminiscent of the Valkyrie Profile. The inclusion of new systems in this re-release could elevate already worthy mechanics and represent a leap in quality for two games that weren’t truly considered masterpieces. Who knows if this edition won’t get the saga some additional fans in the West? They are expected from us on August 26.
This much. It’s not a roster that will leave you speechless, but it’s at least a good opportunity to rediscover Nippon Ichi’s history and save some precious games we know little about. Also, Yuru Kill seems like a project with the potential to hit lovers.
