ATLUS USA have today announced their plans on publishing and English localized version of Code of Princess, an action RPG brawler for the Nintendo 3DS which features not only a single player campaign but additional cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes.
Slated for release this fall, Code of Princess offers players an exciting yet unconventional hardcore experience, deftly blending fighting gameplay with components from classic arcade side-scrolling beat ’em ups and the character development and customization of an RPG. Up to four players can take on challenges cooperatively or battle against one another in competitive play. Both modes are available locally or online via Nintendo Network.
Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at ATLUS had this to say on the recent announcement:
Developed by an all-star team of industry veterans, Code of Princess is unlike anything else available for Nintendo 3DS. 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. 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.
Fans who pre-order this game at participating retailers and while stocks last will receive the Code of Princess Sound and Visual Book, a collection of artwork from designer Kinu Nishimura and music from ACE’s soundtrack that complement the game. The games official website can be seen HERE. While I have included some screenshots below, previous posts on The Otaku’s Study contain a sizable collection of screenshots and trailers for the game – all of which can be sound under the Code of Princess category.
