What do you say? Another PS3 tilte released.

Marco_Buns · May 24, 2018

What? Also releasing on the PS3? Seems kind of weird for me.

AutumnWolf · May 24, 2018

I just can´t believe this took them 5 years to develop

T-hug · May 24, 2018

The first game, Rainbow Moon was pretty good so I'll give this one a try.
Remember this is a small team so 5 years for a long RPG is fair imo.

They probably started to work on it first, when just the PS3 and Vita was around, then decided to port to the PS4 as well.

As for looks, they art style seems aright to me, but I can see how the overworld movement can be off putting. That aside, the gameplay looks nice.
Kind of reminds me of Disgaea.

And the blonde on the art looks like Discount Gunvolt...

Dear god this is ugly.

They probably should've just gone 2D if they were this bad at 3D modeling. At least there's still Octopath to look forward to.

This had to have been a mobile game at some point and just decided to make a console game.

Is turn based tactical rpg games popular in North America? I mean I know it exist, but how popular is it? I mean one of the first ones we probably played was Shining force by Sega, Fire emblem was made before that game but only existed in japan until GBA Came out, by that time we had both shining force and Final Fantasy Tactics and possibly some others I don't know well. But lately it seem to be getting more attention.

Wow, after so long I totally forgot about Rainbow Skies.

Rainbow Moon was an amazing (and underrated as f**k) game, I'll probably get this one too.

chirogan · May 25, 2018

Rainbow moon looks and feels better but this is decent IMO. The gameplay looks solid so im gonna give it a try.

netovsk · May 25, 2018

What a generic name lol

Leaves my expectations regarding the game script pretty low

But maybe it's fun

Will it get a physical disc release?

Awesomeaustin316 · May 25, 2018

I was kinda sad to see so many people hating the art. I think it fits the style of game they are going for tbh. It would be nice to see this end up on someone's hidden gem list one day. I'll have to give it a try along with the first game I never even heard of until this thread.

FAST6191 · May 25, 2018

The art is not for me but still of a style that some like* so I will skip that one, however it was the overworld animations that sank it for me and seemingly not for lack of trying (several of those had optional quirks, twitches and intermediate sections/states).

*some pondered whether we were going to see a return of 90s 3d animation (examples 1 and example 2 as the small game dev style of moment, not unlike the "child in a dark and scary world reimagines Mario" thing that was all pervasive in that world some time before.

From what I could see of the gameplay that looked like a nice hybrid of tactics and more conventional turn based stuff, and the option to go up against many many enemies also worked for me. That very much comes down to execution though as I have been fooled before by trailers (see also a lot of the PSP library).

QCLasky · May 25, 2018

Well, I like it. Didnt think the graphics are terrible, I like that kind of art for turn based tactical rpg games

eriol33 · May 27, 2018

If they are trying to target their market from nostalgia base only, I doubt it will be successful. It looked generic.
