DarkZero: Fans of developer Vanillaware might remember a title from a few years ago called Grand Knights History, a tactical role-playing game for the PSP. It was initially announced for a release in EU and USA in 2011 by XSeed, but a year later was cancelled due to the publisher lacking the ability to program translations into the game, having to instead send the words to Vanillaware in Japan. The Japanese studio was busy making Dragon’s Crown at the time and did not have the staff to manage one of its older titles for translation. It was a huge shame, since it looked like another great game from the studio. As sad as it was, we can be happy now, as everything is different with the release of Grand Kingdom, a spiritual successor to Grand Knights History by Monochrome, a new studio that includes the director of the original game, Tomohiko Deguchi, who has managed to – with help from NIS America – bring one of the more interesting Japanese RPGs for the PlayStation 4 over to our shores.
KeenGamer: ''Strategy RPGs have been popular since the 80s, but the genre has ebbed and flowed through the decades, surviving extinction and reviving in a beautiful new genre that blends the old and new. What are the best Strategy RPGs on modern consoles? From Fire Emblem to Civilization, check out our list below.''
Here's what's coming to the PlayStation Store in Asia for PlayStation Plus members in Asia.
It's not Nier:Automata, but they might have to give that game soon as consoles, games and accessories in Asia are too expensive for the average gamer, as compared to the west.

I guess Asia is down to 4 games only. Same as last month. Well, it is cheaper, so I guess that's part of it.
It's a new week. That means that many retailers are refreshing what deals they're running. You know what that means: Amazon has new video game deals too. Mondays may seem like a nuisance, but that's why the largest online retailer in the world gives us new goodies to look at on them.
Great review.
