Atlus has been fairly busy today, with announcements coming left, right and centre. The latest piece of news from the publisher is that Code of Princess, an action RPG brawler for Nintendo 3DS, is available for pre-order now.
Early birds out there will receive a free "Sound and Visual Book" to enhance their experience. It includes: "a collection of art work from famed designer Kinu Nishimura and music from Ace's stellar soundtrack"
"Developed by an all-star team of industry veterans, Code of Princess is unlike anything else available for Nintendo 3DS," said Tim Pivnicny, VP at Atlus. "Fans of action will savor the game's combat, which is loaded with satisfying chain attacks and plenty of depth-both in terms of attack options and also quite literally in the sense that battlefields employ a three-railed design, letting players move forward and back as tactics dictate.
"Fans of RPGs will relish the ability to level and improve their characters, converting their gained experience into boosts for the stats that best suit their play style and tactics."
He then concluded: "This appealing amalgam of game designs is wrapped in a beautiful package, boasting lovingly rendered and animated characters and eye-catching flurries of punches and kicks. With something for virtually every kind of old-school gamer and with an esteemed pedigree to draw upon, Code of Princess is certain to be one of the most anticipated Nintendo 3DS games of the year."
Code of Princess is likely to be released this autumn.
