A demanding Japanese city management game. Rich for Japanese speakers, inaccessible for others due to lack of localisation.

Collector interest

Hammerin' Hero, a retro action title localized by Atlus, shares the characteristic scarcity of the studio's PSP releases in the United States, with a limited run never repeated. The deliberately old-school concept drew a small audience, thinning complete copies today. Its interest lies in belonging to the sought Atlus PSP catalogue more than the game's own reach.
