With Beat Blades Haruka now available for purchase via their online store, MangaGamer have rushed to quickly open pre-orders for another upcoming visual novel. Developed by Propeller, Tokyo Babel will be available starting March 31st 2016 through the MangaGamer Online Store and Steam. Pre-orders are currently only available through the former mentioned channel, at a base price of $34.95. Until launch however, there will be a pre-order discount of 10%, bringing the total cost down to $29.70.
Unlike some of MangaGamer’s other titles, Tokyo Babel is a 15+ all-ages friendly visual novel. It also features full Japanese voice acting. There are no two versions, meaning you can also wait to simply order it through Steam upon launch should you desire, with no announced content differences between the two digital distribution platforms.
Tokyo Babel features a story crafted by Yuuichirou Higashide (Ayakashibito), with contributions by other talents including Takashi Masada (Dies irae) and Kinoko Nasu (Fate/stay night). According to MangaGamer, this game “offers plenty of heated battles and a narrative deeply rooted in Christian mythology, all in a 50-hour-long beast of an adventure sure to please fans of the chuuni genre“.
About Tokyo Babel
Tokyo Babel begins its tale on the eve of the apocalypse: parallel worlds crumble in succession as the gates of Heaven are closed shut and Hell is irrevocably submerged in water. In a final, desperate attempt to set things right, the surviving angels and demons flock to the soaring purgatory of Tokyo Babel, intent on climbing Jacob’s Ladder to reopen the gates of Heaven and earn divine forgiveness. In the midst of this world-rending calamity, a young man called Tendou Setsuna travels to Tokyo Babel in order to lend his aid in the quest for Heaven – joining him are the angel Raziel, the demon Lilith, as well as the amnesia-stricken, yet relentlessly optimistic high schooler, Kugutsu Sorami. Theirs is a journey laden with love, hate, passion and betrayal – one that, at its conclusion, may very well alter the fate of the universe as we know it.
