Siliconera - Aww… look at that wizard and dude with a giant chakram. Behind the cute costumes, Picotto Knights from Game Arts and NHN Hangame is an action RPG meets a beat ‘em up. After you create a custom knight you can master one of the game’s eight weapons. Then join your Vita owning buddies either through Wi-Fi or 3G to fight dragons together. Picotto Knights will be available on September 20 on Japan’s PlayStation Store.
Picotto Knights the belt action RPG for PlayStation Vita from Game Arts has some familiar guests. Anyone remember Feena from Grandia? Game Arts added Grandia characters into the game as cutesy Cocoroids.
Viva la Vita: "PSVita exclusives crossing over with one another. Square Enix's launch title Army Corps of Hell is joining in on Gungho's Picotto Knights. The new collaboration, which begins on March 21st and ends on April 4th sees The King of Hell, and his goblin troops become a mission in which players can complete to unlock special items."
Spencer, Siliconera: "Picotto Knights is a beat ‘em up action RPG kind of like Dragon’s Crown (without salacious sorceresses) or Capcom’s Dungeons and Dragons arcade games. The twist is you can get costumes to customize your knight like a dinosaur and starting on December 6 different Ragnarok Online classes.
Lord Knight, Champion, Magician, Swordman, and Super Novice skins are coming to Picotto Knights. Grandia crossover items are also in the works. Players will be able to dress up as main characters like Justin, Feena, and Sue.
Picotto Knights was released as a free download in Japan. Gung Ho Online Entertainment America will localize the title and release it in North America next year."
Why do some games from japan just look like animated fireworks everywhere constantly..
I want to know how this game plays by watching but all I see is color swirls everywhere and every move has huge animatied colors that cover the whole screen ?
it looks kind of cool....but I can't even tell anything about the game really.
That is my only complaint about Japan when is comes to games. Too much going on at once.
For a country who actually understands simplicity, to go and do this over and over again just boggles the mind.
