Atlus Details Xbox 360 Games
About five days ago, Dawdle came across some information that Atlus would be publishing two titles for the Xbox 360. Those titles were Operation Darkness and Spectral Force 3. thankfully, Atlus have released a lot more since then. Behold! Here is some information about Operation Darkness (whose beautiful artwork is pictured above):
Enter an alternate WWII-era world where history and fantasy collide! Leading an army of ruthless officers and unearthly creatures, Adolf Hitler marches through Europe, leaving behind a trail of death and destruction. With his powers on the rise and his armies on the move, it falls on you and your team of elite soldiers to cut deep into the heart of the Third Reich and strike a fatal blow to Hitler's ever-growing legion of evil!
I love alternate eras like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Fallout and the like. Anyways, it's a strategy RPG as we have mentioned before, but since it's from Atlus, I'm sure it'll be good. Not to mention challenging. The other game that is poised to be released on Xbox 360 is Spectral Force 3. Look below to see what that's about:
Magic Era: 996. The ten kingdoms of the land, seizing the opportunity provided by Overlord Janus's death, are attempting to unify the continent under their own banners. This is the beginning of the Great Neverland War. In order to bolster their defenses, kingdoms have begun hiring mercenary units. As new members of the Norius Mercenaries, you and your friend Diaz are eager to prove yourselves. When the squad's commander Judo is mortally wounded in battle, the mantle of leadership is entrusted to you, and so the adventure begins…
Spectral Force 3 is the first of this series to land in North America and both will land in early 2008. Like Operation Darkness, it will be a strategy RPG. There are a few more bits of information, but you can read those in the triple threat of press releases after the jump. I love Atlus, anyone who witnessed that buying spree of a treasure trove of Atlus games in Birmingham a couple months ago can attest to my boyfriend's and my dedication to the company. Boy, that sure was an expensive weekend. Anyways, are you excited about these? Is Atlus being traitorous by publishing games on the Xbox 360 and not the PlayStation 3? Speak up after you make the jump.
