News: More Strategy RPG fun from the makers of Disgaea.

Nippon Ichi, the creators behind last year's underrated Disgaea: Hour of Darkness have released another Strategy RPG to stores today. La Pucelle: Tactics is a spiritual prequel to Disgaea and features a similar battle system in a similar RPG world.

"La Pucelle: Tactics is a tale of betrayal and double cross, monsters in human form and humans in monster form, set in an alternate medieval Europe. The unlikely hero is a smart mouthed and undisciplined sixteen year old who just passed her exorcism exams and her comrades in La Pucelle, a demon hunting squad."

La Pucelle: Tactics Features:

Choice of Japanese or English voice.

Hard-core battle system: Attack simultaneously or in waves of up to 8 units. Use obstacles on the battlefield and elevated terrain to your strategic advantage. Get closer to the fray when head-to-head battles play out in a more detailed fighting view. Win over highly intelligent enemies so they will join your unit

Dark portals and purification: Brand new to the RPG world, purify defiled ground or dramatically wipe out all enemies on the battlefield with a single massive Miracle Attack.

149 different items: Use your weapons in special combinations for magical abilities. Strengthen objects in real time.

Instant level up: Gain valuable items and skills - even new allies - after each unit's turn for fast gratification and furious fun.

Over 120 hours of gameplay with multiple endings: Traverse 12 enormously deep and distinctly different chapters - uncover unique abilities, optional side quests and multiple endings.

We'll have more on La Pucelle: Tactics, hopefully including a review, very shortly.
