The Bin: Sudeki

Hardcore Gamer: What happens when non-Japanese game developers attempt to create a Japanese-style role playing game? One with all the tropes, anime aesthetics, and presentation values typical of a Nipponese video game? Well… it’s a bit of a hit or miss affair really. The indie developed Pier Solar is probably one of the better examples of a solid Japanese-style RPG developed by team with little to no Japanese staff. Then you have something like Sudeki, which was a rather unusual title released for the original Xbox back in 2004.
