It’s been a while since when we heard about Battle Princess of Arcadias (formerly codenamed Project: Arcadia) by Nippon Ichi, and today the Japanese software house fully unveiled the game, that will be a side scrolling action JRPG and will be released (in Japan) exclusively on PS3 on September the 26th.
The publisher also released a large batch
Battle Princess of Arcadias is an action role-playing game that places you in the role of Princess Plume, a hardened battle princess that has sworn to protect her kingdom and loyal subjects from danger. To our heroine’s dismay, however - a ‘great’ evil takes the kingdom by surprise, decimating everything and everyone in its path. Plume vows vengeance against the great evil, but she must rebuild the kingdom’s brigade (i.e. army) first before she can defeat it.
Brett wrote: Although Battle Princess of Arcadias was frustrating at times, for the most part I enjoyed this game. The core gameplay of the combat missions are the real strength, and offer hours and hours of hack and slash fun. Being able to replay each mission adds more value to the game, but some missions you won’t want to play again. In addition, the game also comes with plenty of side missions that are completely optional for you to play through. If you’re willing to overlook the frustrating parts, Battle Princess of Arcadias is a solid experience.
If you are looking for a side scrolling RPG with challenge and varied gameplay, Battle Princess of Arcadias is the goose you need to cook.
And where the frack were games like this six years ago!
Hell, this is Odin Sphere! Which only begs the question more!
