We haven’t heard too much about NIS America’s Last Rebellion. It’s headed to the PlayStation 3 in a couple weeks, and the development team recently posted some information and a combat video on the PlayStation Blog.
The game is set in Jonovald. This foreign world is overseen by two gods, Meiktilia and Formival. The former is the death god while the later is the god of birth. Meiktilia gave two types of people special powers; Blades and Sealers. The Blades can destroy physical structures while Sealers use magic to destroy the metaphysical nature. The main characters in the game are Nine, a Blade, and Aisha, a Sealer.
Confused yet? OK, stay with us. The God Formival gives the power for all things to revive. When things revive, they become stronger. The reborn, undead creatures are named Belzeds. Baldes and Sealers are both required to defeat these enemies.
Nine and Aisha are tasked with saving the land of Lorvin, which has become over run by Belzeds. You get to play as both main characters, but you operate out of a single body; two souls in one body. You get to switch between characters and use them both to destroy the Belzeds.
The combat is turn based, and requires the proper strategy. You’ll have to make sure you use both characters in the proper order. Your characters need to attack the Belzeds’ body parts in a specific manner in order to do the most damage.
Phew. That’s a bit confusing, but perhaps the video will explain things better. The game is out on February 23.
