While there may not exactly be a shortage of RPGs available on the DS, Luminous Arc 2 does just enough right to warrant a playthrough. It may not have anything new to add to the genre, but the game certainly doesn't detract from it either. Atlus does a good job of sticking with what works, producing a solid game worth playing, even if you've seen it all before. Luminous Arc 2 may not reinvent the RPG wheel, but for fans of the genre, it's definitely something to check out.
Nintendo Life writes: "The DS has seen some fantastic RPGs released this year, with Valkyrie Profile, Nostalgia and of course Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, and Luminous Arc II keeps the standard high with a quality Japanese RPG package that is sure to please anyone looking for a tactical fix."
In an interview with GameBrit, Tristram Defries of Rising Star Games has confirmed the publisher is thinking of introducing pre-order bonuses for titles in the UK. He also discusses sales of Little King's Story.
The irrepressible UK publisher Rising Star Games have revealed the release dates of the remaining titles on their 2010, including fantastically original games for both Nintendo DS and Wii. Including a number of titles from Rising Star Games' "The Home of Japanese Games" range, Rising Star Games are set to prove that, once again, they are one of the leading third-party publishers for traditional gaming on Nintendo consoles.
