Mini Screen Gallery - Oboro Muramasa Youtoden

By Spencer . September 25, 2007 . 11:07am

It was quite disappointing that Oboro Muramasa Youtoden was barely seen at Tokyo Game Show. A short trailer ran on Marvelous’ main stage, but besides that Vanillaware’s next project was nearly a no show. These few screenshots and pieces of…

Vanillaware’s next: Oboro Muramasa Youtouden

By Spencer . September 5, 2007 . 8:58pm

I think everyone else is talking about this by now, but these scans Jeff L. sent in (thanks again!) are so beautiful we have to post something about Oboro Muramasa Youtouden. The title is coming out for the Wii and it’s…

Take a trip through time and the second dimension in Grim Grimoire

By Katie . June 25, 2007 . 1:25pm

Consoles and RTS (also known as real-time strategy) games. At worst, a mixture akin to fire and pressurized gas. At best, a tremulous liaison whose main contributor is a body of triple-A PC titles, ported to the hardware of the…

Lillet Blan, the protagonist of Grim Grimoire begins the game only with the skills to summon Glamour familiars (as seen in the first article). Within the first few hours of the game Lillet also learns how to control phantom warriors…

Also developed by Vanillaware (remember Odin Sphere?) is Grim Grimoire, a side scrolling RTS that NIS America is releasing in North America later this month. The story is about Lillet Blan who is caught in a time loop, trapped between…

Odin Sphere: More than just a pretty picture

By Louise . May 18, 2007 . 4:43pm

A side-scrolling brawler featuring 2D sprites.  Same old, same old, right? WRONG! Vanillaware’s latest PS2 game, Odin Sphere is anything but ordinary.  On paper, it sounds like your run of the mill beat-em-up with light RPG elements, but in practice…

By Spencer . May 9, 2007 . 8:04am

In just one week (two for North America) Odin Sphere is going to be on store shelves. Contrary to popular belief Odin Sphere is a 2D action game, similar to Final Fight but with RPG elements and this video demonstrates…

Second opinion on Grim Grimoire

By Louise . May 1, 2007 . 6:09pm

I feel confident to say that Grim Grimoire may just be one of the best looking PS2 games if not ever, then at least this year.  While I drooled over screenshots prior to playing it, they really don’t do the…

Watch: Fairies and Dragons in Grim Grimoire

By Spencer . April 29, 2007 . 11:50am

As seen in our earlier playtest there is more to Grim Grimoire than eye candy, but seeing a battle might give you a better idea about how Grim Grimoire’s system works. At the start of this battle a group of phantoms…

Grasping Grim Grimoire’s game flow

By Spencer . April 29, 2007 . 10:57am

A RTS on the Playstation 2? That’s what Grim Grimoire is except there is less focus on building your base and much more combat. Each battle puts you in control of Lillet Blan, a new student at a magician’s academy…

Watch: Grim Grimoire (English) opening

By Spencer . April 25, 2007 . 1:17am

Odin Sphere isn’t the only Vanillaware game in town. NIS America is bringing Grim Grimoire out in June 2007. I just started playing a build of the US version of Grim Grimoire and the first few chapters are tutorial missions…

How battles in Grim Grimoire work

By Spencer . April 9, 2007 . 4:26pm

  Unlike many of NIS America’s other titles Grim Grimoire is a real time strategy game. Lillet doesn’t fight; instead she summons elves and fairies to do battle for her. When you start a battle in Grim Grimoire you have…
