While Gungnir may not be on the same lofty plateau as Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions or even the Disgaea titles, it does offer a fresh SRPG experience that isn’t a port of a console title.
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.
One of the higher reviews score I've seen for the game, but IMO totally deserved.
I wonder how this will sell. The only people still using their PSP are probably pirates. It's all but cleared out in retail stores.
Watched a video of this and doesn't seem to deserve the low score it's getting. Of course, Knights in the Nightmare got screwed as well.
