GrimGrimoire Now Available on the Playstation Network

Nippon Ichi Software America, publishers of Grimgrimoire on the Playstation 2 have just announced that the title is now available on the Playstation Network as part of the “Only on the PSN” initiative. The game dubbed into English and released in 2007 was perhaps a bit different from your normal NIS America game in which it was a real-time strategy game requiring you to summon magical beings to protect themselves and your base, with often tricky scenarios such as defending your base for 30 minutes whilst hordes and hordes of demons were trying to make you fail. Here is the official blurb about the game from the Press Release:

Co-developed by Nippon Ichi Software and Vanillaware, the game allows players to take on the role of Lillet Blan, a young magician who is admitted to a prestigious and mystical magic school; however, on the fifth day of school, everyone mysteriously vanishes. Lillet awakens the next day to discover she is once again living out the first day of school; but her memories from the previous days are intact, giving her the opportunity to solve the mystery behind the disappearances and prevent the tragedy from occurring

Here are some of the games features:

4 major magic types to master: Glamour, Necromancy, Sorcery and Alchemy. Each type has its own unique abilities and can summon different types of units!
Defend your base by summoning elves, fairies, imps, and more to fight for you! Collect mana to summon units and cast spells!
Gorgeously animated 2D characters come to life on your screen!
Story Mode unleashes great mysteries while preparing you for battle.
Battle takes place in a side view environment with real-time action.

The game will be on sale for $9.99 on the North American PSN Store (Uncertain if this is also true for the PAL region stores as I do not currently have access to my Playstation 3). The official website is still open and can be accessed HERE. There are no apparent changes such as trophy inclusion or the like.
