Atlus Bringing Another Game Stateside
Atlus seems to have an excellent business model. They focus heavily on bringing games over to the USA from Japan. The latest title that they’ve secured the rights to is another of the many turn-based strategy games that are much beloved in Japan. You won’t be fighting to regain a stolen throne, questing for glory or any of the more common plotlines; instead you will be controlling a Wisp named Maria who reanimates the souls of fallen knights in a castle to battle her foe, Astart.
In Knights in the Nightmare, which was released in Japan in September last year, action sequences punctuate the more standard strategy gameplay. As with most strategy titles you can customize your party with over a hundred playable characters from seven different classes of knights. Further strategizing is possible by combining multiple souls into one character. Play through the somewhat unusual game and you’ll unlock a second gameplay mode, where you take on the role of the former antagonist. The game releases on June second.
