Description
RPG by From Software and Ubisoft, August 2006. Hero Atsuma, a young man with Ogre powers, battles an obscure threat turning people to stone in a futuristic fantasy Tokyo. Turn-based combat with Umber magic and creature summons, magician companion team and urban fantasy story. First major Xbox 360 RPG franchise in Japan.
European (PAL) edition of FromSoftware's first foray into the JRPG, long before the Souls games that made its worldwide name, here in the European version published by Ubisoft. This retrospective heritage gives the title particular interest for those tracing the studio's path, its Golem system lending a singular flavour. Value lies in this role as a little-known milestone in FromSoftware's history.
