Josh Brant says, "Japanese history and folklore oftentimes has elements of the natural and supernatural closely woven together to provide a wonderful experience in esoteric and historical recounting’s. Because of its complex nature, not often do video games which explore this setting come to the west. Recent titles like Nioh have luckily found their way west and the next in line is another RPG which has its roots in Japanese history and folkore, God Wars: Future Past. God Wars: Future Past is a tactical RPG with a deep job system which will keep people who love Final Fantasy Tactics or any other type of Tactics game busy for a long time, but is this enough to provide a solid experience?"
Today Kadokawa Games announced that its strategy JRPG God Wars: Future Past shipped over 200,000 copies worldwide for PS4, Vita, and Switch.
I've got this on ps4 still not played it. It's a grid based turn based jsrpg
I'm enjoying it on the PS4. With so many games on my PS4 I try to give each some love. Only got like 3 hours in so far I'm liking it.
Kadokawa Games President Yoshimi Yasuda shares his insight as Producer of many games and veteran of the Japanese gaming industry.
How do you introduce people to folklore and fairy tales? Introducing people to mythology can be easy when they are young or in school, as such stories can sometimes be used to teach morals, introduce concepts that might be difficult for people to otherwise understand, act as warnings and get imaginations working. Once folks get older, it can be more difficult to get them engaged and interested in legends. Fortunately, some Japanese video games can step in to bridge the gap.
