Destructoid: "Castle Crashers became an international hit in a way no one expected an American indie game could achieve, so it's only natural for a Japanese game seemingly influenced by it to appear on the marketplace. Picotto Knights is that game, but it's also a lot more and a lot less."
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."
Oh sweet, I really enjoyed Castle Crashers back on Xbox. Hopefully this lives up to it in some way. Plus being free, there's no way I can complain. I really appreciate the work these devs are doing for Vita gamers. It's really nice of them to be doing this free of charge. :D
Looks pretty awesome actually, I always wanted to play Castle Crashers but the asking price seemed kinda steep
Wtf,no west release,this would be perfect for gamers who just wonna loot,i bet eventually it will get a release
The first music track was awesome....then they played some generic horrible rock track.
