Unchainblades Rexx - PSP & 3DS

[briareos_kerensky]

Xseed teased the title with some cryptic images yesterday on Twitter, but now Nintedo Power confirms that the US version of the game will simply be called Unchained Blades and will most probably be a downloadable title. Better than not having it at all, I guess.

Confirmed for PSP as well.
First English trailer here. I never thought Xseed will dub it, hopefully there will be English and Japanese voices.

Second English trailer. Still no hard date for release.

Is that first person dungeon crawling? Something like Shining the Holy Ark?

[briareos_kerensky]

First person dungeon crwaler it is, don't know how if it will be more similar to StHA or Etrian Odyssey (luckily it seems it won't be an other J-Wizardry clone).

Xseed confirmed it as a download only game via Twitter yesterday.

The first game is not even out in the west and the sequel is slated for OCtober 18th in Japan.
It will be called Unchainblades Exiv and like the original will feature different artists to give life to different characters:

Suzuhito Yasuda (Devil Survivor)
Haruyuki Morisawa (Lagrange)
Yusuke Kozaki (No More Heroes)
Kumiko Suekane (Once Upon a Glashma)
Kaito Shibano (Luminous Arc 3)
Kunihiko Tanaka (Xenogears)
Keatsumi Enami (Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari)
Kia Asamiya (Compiler, Assembler OX, Silent Moebius, Steam Detectives and a ton other)
Shin Nagasawa (Etrian Odyssey's monster designer?)
Eiji Kaneda (Aquarion)
Senmu (Kampfer)

Earthbound Papas will be composing the soundtrack and Nobou Uematsu the theme song. Takashi Hino (Grandia) is the writer and Toshio Akashi (Lunar) is the producer.

Xseed made official the release date for the PSP version: June 26 for 29.99USD, which is quite steep for a digital title.
Sadly the 3DS version will be released later this year...sadly because the 3DS is gathering dust (but so the PSP is doing for longer time), not-so-sadly because June already is an expensive month.

Final release date for the 3DS version: 3rd or January 2013. Download only, 30USD. Not exactly cheap but it will be good entertainment until Etrian Odyssey IV in February.

The game is finally out on the US 3DS eShop for 29.99USD before taxes (ugh...having an hard time spending this much money for a donwloadale game).
Also, producer interview @Siliconera.

[kryss]

Yeah, not really ready to pay that much for a game like that.

[briareos_kerensky]

I meant because it's download only and not because it's a dungeon crawler.

[noobish hat]

Sorry, are they being serious with this title?
