Australia-based video game developer Nnooo earlier today announced that their Nintendo 3DS and Playstation Vita title escapeVektor is set to be released in Japan, following earlier releases in other territories worldwide. While the Playstation Vita has no formal release date as of this post, they have confirmed that the 11th December 2013 will be the day for potential Japanese fans to pick up their game on the Nintendo 3DS.
escapeVektor is a retro-styled arcade game in which the player controls Vektor, an entity trapped inside the player’s CPU. The player has to help Vektor escape the CPU which has been holding him captive. In making his escape, Vektor must get through obstacles and avoid enemies, each with different hunting patterns and intelligence. As the player completes the 150 levels in the game, escape becomes more difficult. New abilities unlock to help the player outwit and destroy the CPU’s army. As the player continues through the game, old code and memories are unlocked which reveal more about Vektor’s past.
Nnooo won’t directly be publishing in the region, and after being approached by many Japanese publishers they chose to go with Arc System Works – best known for publishing Blazblue, Guilty Gear and a number of other fighting series in the country.
