By Spencer . July 2, 2008 . 7:30am

Rolando found a piece of promotional art (thanks!!) for Compile Heart’s strategy RPG mashup and it reveals a few more faces. The original image was tiny so it’s horribly scrambled when expanded, but you can clearly see Lilith from Darkstalkers…

By Spencer . June 27, 2008 . 8:06am

North America will get a taste of an RPG board game blend in October when Atlus releases Dokapon Kingdom. However, Dokapon Kingdom won’t dominate the niche in Japan. Compile Heart has Sugoro Chronicle: Migite ni Ken wo Hidarite ni Saikoro…

Watch – The roguelike of Windaria

By Spencer . April 28, 2008 . 10:14am

I mentioned Dungeon of Windaria before mainly because the source material is such odd choice. Mystery dungeon games don’t need licenses. Izuna and Shiren are fine without anime co-stars. To be fair, the recently released Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of…

By Spencer . March 11, 2008 . 8:47am

After seeing some screenshots for Dungeon of Windaria, it looks like Compile Heart took a generic dungeon RPG sitting on their shelves and slapped the Windaria license on it. Yes, Izu, Marin and other characters from the film are in…

By Spencer . March 10, 2008 . 6:53am

Compile Heart got the wild idea to pick up the rights to Windaria, a 1980s anime movie. Even stranger is the tear jerking anime flick is going to be transformed into a dungeon RPG for the Nintendo DS called Dungeons…

Waging war and linking allies in Agarest Senki

By Spencer . February 1, 2008 . 6:01pm

Agarest Senki (aka Record of Agarest War) gained notoriety because of its soul breed system where you date and mate with female party members to create the protagonist for the next chapter. It reminded me of the system Sega introduced…
