Atlus is known for releasing titles that that don't fit the traditional mold of what American gamers are sue to playing on a consistent basis, which result in their titles either being alienated or scrutinized for its originality. Case in point with Steambot Chronicles, an epic PS2 title that was well done, but not well received. Looking to bring this unique action/mech experience to a new audience, Atlus released a sequel for the PlayStation Portable known as Steambot Chronicles: Battle Tournament. While equally rewarding of an experience, one too many issues with game design has forced this sequel to take a backseat to the original.
