Resonance of Fate Review

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 11:43:56 +0000

The JRPG is a genre that has long embraced its own clichés.

With Resonance of Fate, Sega is hoping to drag the JRPG kicking and screaming, back into the hands of modern gamers. But it...

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 11:56:56 +0000

After getting dated for Europe last week, Resonance of Fate has had its final US release date confirmed by the folks over at SEGA USA - and it's a week later than expected on March 17th.

Resonance of Fate previously had a placeholder date of March 9th, the very same day that Final Fantasy XIII arrives in Western stores. Shuffling it back by one week is a wise but confident move,...

Before this generation began, tri-Ace was one of the top RPG developers around with big-names like Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile on their portfolio, but the HD era has treated them somewhat roughly and their stock amongst gamers has certainly dropped.

Infinite Undiscovery was solid but clichéd and went largely ignored, while the fourth ...

Resonance of Fate has Costume Changes

The fashion-inclined among you can choose exactly how to dress the cast in Sega and tri-Ace's new RPG thanks to a new Costume Change system.

There'll be a number of costumes on offer in the game, and our bet is that it's very likely that the game will also offer additional clothing as downloadable content. Sega Japan's released some screens of the system in action - check them out below.

Resonance of Fate Demo 'Too Difficult'

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 10:07:12 +0000

The Resonance of Fate Demo launched last month, and we posted a small article detailing the contents of the Action-RPG demo. We mentioned the demo would contain a "super easy mode" to help newcomers to the game - but it wasn't easy enough, it seems.

Players over in Japan have complained that the demo was way too tough on newcomers to the action RPG genre, and game d...

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 15:43:15 +0000

Sega will attempt to grab Japanese RPG fans' attention away from Final Fantasy XIII for a few moments by releasing a playable demo of End of Eternity on the 22nd December.

The demo shows off the game's unique t.A.B battle system, allowing players to fight their way through a dungeon which can be played multiple times for different rewards. The demo will also include a super easy mode for newcomers to the genre to try out - but this isn't an option in ...
