ASH-y New Details
Mistwalker recently revealed some more details on it's strategy DS title, Archaic Sealed Heat, regarding a couple new characters and some gameplay. The platinum blonde in the very stiff looking armor dress is named Marty and in contrast to main character Aisha, is a princess of a wealthy industrial nation. Her ideology is in direct opposition to Aisha, but the two agree to work together against the Kingdom of Samnelshia, the same Kingdom that destroyed Aisha's people. Another character is Slekaven, a veteran mercenary who has the ability of telekinesis and uses flying weapons to attack. It is unknown what his relationship with other characters is.
The real meat of the released information is in the battle system. ASH will let the player set up five teams of three, with each trio assigned a certain amount of Ability Points. With each turn only a set amount of AP regenerating, it is up to the player to decide how much is used and by which characters. Using the touch screen to enter commands, the characters available abilities will change according to the situation and the character's growth.
With smaller groups and limited moves, it will be interesting to see just how difficult the game is after it is released in Japan on October 4th.
