Over many months Nyu Media have been releasing a number of English localized video games as part of their first release slate of titles. This set consists of games such as The eXceed Collection set of bullet hell games to Cherry Tree High Comedy Club, an adventure game all about delivering comedy. While the game was released back in April, it remained the only title to have not been released via the Steam service until now. Starting from the 8th November 2012, the game will be available via Steam with a revised build and graphical improvements from the original.
Cherry Tree High Comedy Club was originally created by Japanese developer 773 and localized by both Nyu Media and Tezuka Productions (Who also produced localization’s for the Ace Attorney Games). The game sets out to deliver a fun set of characters, an uplifting graphical style and engaging gameplay. The following are some of the features promoted for this title:
- Build up your conversational skills to recruit up to six memorable characters, each with a unique storyline and interact with many more NPCs!
- Hours of play – over 4,500 lines of dialogue!
- Repertoire system of 12 conversational topics to upgrade and master, such as Video Games, Romance, Politics, Cooking, Sports or just good old chit-chat!
- Explore Cherry Tree Town and perform diverse tasks to earn money and spend it on activities that improve your repertoire!
- All original, high quality, colorful and warm anime-style graphics with one exceedingly catchy soundtrack!
- Localization by Nyu Media and Tezuka Productions (Ace Attorney)
- Revised build further polishes the text of the original release and removes minor language and graphic bugs
Due to its original release date coinciding with my hectic thesis writing earlier in the year, I have not had the chance to review the game. However, I will hope to check out the game in the next week and share my thoughts here on The Otaku’s Study.
