Aksys Games have announced that they will be localizing and publishing EXAMU / Arc System Works’ fighting game Arcana Heart 3: LOVE MAX!!!!! internationally during Fall 2014 in North America. While unfortunately the publisher has not committed to a PAL (European or Australasian) release, those who pick this up off the store shelf, digital download or importing will gain access to a copious number of potential combo creations, multiple battle stages and 23 adorable combatants.
The following are some of the promoted features of Arcana Heart 3: LOVE MAX!!!!! as shared by the publisher earlier today:
Openly Express Your Love to the Max via Online Versus and Spectator Modes!!!!!
Our ranking system will help to ensure that you’re hooked up with people of an appropriate skill level. Jump into an online lobby with five other players (six total) to bash the cute out of each other (or at least attempt to!).
Voluminous Story Content!!!!!
Follow the 23 angels through a massive amount of hidden scenarios (over 300!) that depict the (mostly) pleasant daily lives of our delightful heroines. There also may or may not be hot springs episodes for each of the characters with steamy pics included! You know, maybe!
Excruciatingly Cute, Craftily Created Characters!!!!!
You want super stealthy, diminutive, speedy ninjas who vanish to confuse foes!? We got em’! Do you specifically require a rollerblading bat-winged beauty, or a brash giant robot-piloting bunny girl!? We listened! Our fighters (23 total!) come in a wide range of battling builds, each with unique techniques to dole out the punishment! For further customization, feel free to deck out your favorite fighter in 1 of 19 color schemes!
Characters can be combined with 23 various arcana (celestial beings) who give players more freedom in how their favorites fight (a total of 529 different combinations!). Arcana alter things like power, defense, and how quickly your power bar recharges. They can also do things such as provide healing, reflect ranged attacks, provide the power of flight, and so much more!
Massive Tension Generation!!!!!
Dost thou dare challenge Ragnarok, the overly powerful, super-sized mega boss, whose laser beams block out the sun!? I sure wouldn’t! Leap onto his shoulders if you’re feeling especially brave!
Artistically Adventurous!!!!!
The past and present are thrown together, pixels and polygons! Each of the 23 playable characters has been lovingly handcrafted with pixels for a satisfying infusion of nostalgia. Backgrounds are modeled with polygons, and significant graphical changes occur when players utilize their “Extend Force” move which allows them to move faster and extend their combo potential!
Aside from the two images below, the publisher has not shared any further screenshots for the game. Arcana Heart 3: LOVE MAX!!!!! is set for release in Fall 2014 exclusively on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita platforms.
