"Gungnir’s storyline may struggle to keep you entertained but the game’s battle system will leave you enthralled with its unique mechanics to keep you coming back for more. It is worth noting that the game does include a New Game+ mode as well, which is very convenient for those who want to see another one of the game’s endings. While Gungnir doesn’t do too much to make itself stand out in the SRPG genre it does enough to provide an entertaining and lengthy experience."
Oprainfall begins their Game of the Year coverage with best DS game, best PSP game, Hottest Guy, Hottest Gal, Best Hero, and Best Villain.
The big upcoming release is Borderlands 2 and we've found a sale on the DLC subscription so you can be ready when those extras start rolling out. None of the big three (Best Buy, Gamestop, Amazon) have the console versions discounted, so you'll probably only find deals if you're looking for the PC download. Elsewhere, you can get the new NHL 13 collector's edition for the same price as the standard edition, and Green Man Gaming is really showing THQ some love.
In Norse tradition, Gungnir is the mighty spear wielded by Odin. On the PSP, it’s a newly-Americanized Japanese Strategy RPG brought to North America by Atlus. With its focus on grid-based gameplay and strategy, Gungnir does offer something different for PSP gamers, and that alone makes it worth the attention of JPRG fans.
not a big fan of this style of gameplay, good review though. thanks for sharing.
