Hexyz Force summons classic JRPG gameplay in new trailer
It's been a while since an old school JRPG has made its way to the PSP. Thankfully, Atlus is readying a new game to scratch that level grinding itch. Developed by Yggdra Union's Sting, this video has every trope you'd expect from a RPG developed in the 32 bit era. From dialog portraits to magic spells cast in turn-based battles, this video will transport you to a long-lost era of gaming. Hexyz Force is coming out on UMD on May 25th.%Gallery-89142%
Atlus uses the Hexyz Force on PSP
Atlus sure does love the PSP, announcing two games for Sony's handheld in just as many days. Hexyz Force is a new RPG from Sting, creator of Riviera: The Promised Land and Yggdra Union. This classically-styled JRPG features two different adventures, each about (what else?) the end of the world. Atlus promises each adventure will take about 25 hours, totaling 50 hours of dungeon crawling and grinding for RPG fans. PSP owners are all too familiar with the lengthy load times for many of the system's RPGs. Thankfully, Atlus is promising "virtually no load times" for Hexyz Force. Like a console JRPG, the game will also feature twenty minutes of anime cutscenes. The UMD version is scheduled for release on May 25th, while a PSN version should follow shortly thereafter. Check out a video preview after the break.
Sting to Hexyz Force a new JRPG onto PSP
While its big brother's catalog of Japanese RPGs remains woefully slim, PSP continues to expand its library from developers, both big and small. Sting, the team behind the excellent Yggdra Union, is releasing yet another RPG on Sony's handheld. In classic old-school JRPG style, the game features multiple characters, multiple stories and multiple endings, meaning Japanese players will be able to get a lot of mileage out of Hexyz Force when it releases there this November.To see the character intro anime FMVs, check out PSPHyper.
