This week's Weekly Famitsu magazine has revealed a new RPG for the PS3 titled Record of Agarest War. The game is a collaboration project between Idea Factory, Red Entertainment and Compile Heart that handle game system, script and publishing respectively.
This fantasy-oriented simulation RPG features characters which will take place across five generations. The game's world will also features five different continents and players will venture one continent at a time as each generation is born. The main hero will be succeeded by the next, though its abilities and attributes will depend on which heroine the player chooses as his partner...
Record of Agarest War is a PS3/Xbox 360 title that has been revamped and brought to the Nintendo Switch. Featuring a unique hook where there are multiple generations and who you court changes the stats of the next protagonist, the title does struggle with a bog-down of features to where it’s hard to
RPGs are great, but it takes a lot of dedication to finish most of them. Here are six PS3 and Xbox 360 RPGs Gamemoir's Nick never saw the credits of.
We feel like Record of Agarest War Zero is trying to cheat. The market is supposed to incentivize creators to make great creations. More people will watch a good movie than a bad movie, more people will play a good game than a bad game. Record of Agarest Zero is not a good strategy game. The interface is clunky, the music is grating, and even unimportant fights drag on WAY longer than is fun. The story is painfully generic.
This is how Sony plans to take over the Japanese market. They will have several RPG games in the next 18 months. If that will help? The Wii is still a lot cheaper!
we're likely not going to see this title stateside then. Of course unless NIS decides to localize it 3 years down the road.
Sounds promising :)
I would like to play something like this. However i'm going to have to wait for the PS3 to drop in price.
I hope Sony has the brains to pick this up for a US release. They need rpgs and badly.
