This week on the Tech-Gaming podcast: SeanNOLA experiences the potential revival of arcades, DesertEagle ponders some of the approaches of game journalism, and Jeremy articulates the virtues of the 4X genre. Beyond offering impressions of Mugen Souls, Sound Shapes, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD, Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, and WizOrb, we also welcome Ryan Phillips, Steven Carlton and Akaya Ito of NIS America to discuss the company’s upcoming titles. As always, stay tuned for our usual dose of gaming trivia, certain to challenge even hard-wired cerebral cortexes.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
EastAsiaSoft brings Mugen Souls to the Nintendo Switch. This turn-based JRPG follows the traditional JRPG model of taking a party out into the wild.
Mugen Souls was a PS3 game created by Compile Heart and published by NIS America that gives strong Disgaea vibes and has been updated and ported to the Switch.
I hope they talk about why Mugen Souls was delayed.
