But at the end of the day, the game simply wasn't received well enough for Tecmo Koei to feel the need for a sequel. It's a pity, because this kind of game is a niche that isn't really being filled right now.

AWESOMEoutof10's Fraser Brown proposes that anachronisms in video games can be a good thing. From the anything in history goes attitude of the Civilization series, to the use of swords in modern settings. It's all part of games offering players freedom and the keys to the toy box.
Game Podunk got information from GameQuestDirect regarding news of two game reprints. Quote: "We bring you Reprint Update to let you know a little something about the latest reprints we find out about. We recently received word from GameQuestDirect that they have been able to reprint two great games, Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War for the PS3 and Shadow Hearts: From the New World for the PS2. Fans of both games should be pleased to hear this news."
I agree with you. The Shadow Hearts series are great RPGs. Even Bladestorm, which isn't a game I thought I would like, is worth playing.
I'm not really that familiar with these games... it's a shame that GQD couldn't get reprints of SH 1 & 2 as well.
Well, I think they wanted to reprint the first two Shadow Hearts games but since Midway is in the slump they're in, it was impossible. I would have loved a reprint for all three so I could have the whole series.
I loved this game, but I only play it every so often, the combat can get rather boring very fast.
this game was good but i think Deception deserves the most underrated game.
good, but not great. And by great, I don't meant to say that this was so under appreciated that it was great (only some deserve it).
an amazing game, just wish i had completed it, got to last battle and it broke. typical
Ohh man, I totally forgot about this game. I need to get it.
