Sting weaves two parallel tales that eventually converge, Cecilia on the healer side and Levant on the soldier side, with a clever Force Hext system. Less ambitious than Yggdra, but the sacred weapons aesthetic and orchestral score do the job.

Description
Adventure with two parallel storylines in a world in crisis, following healer Cecilia and soldier Levant from opposing sides of the same conflict. Published by Sting, released in Japan in January 2009. Two autonomous storylines converging towards shared endings, Force Hext sacred weapons system, orchestral soundtrack. Japan exclusive.
Japanese edition of Hexyz Force, a Sting RPG published by Atlus, earlier than the Western version with its already short run. The Japanese variant is the original version of this confidential title, sought by fans wishing to complete the Sting catalogue on PSP. Its interest rests on this source-pressing status of a niche RPG little produced in all its regions.
An underrated gem
Two parallel stories that cross paths, following a healer and a soldier from opposing camps: this Sting J-RPG leans on its narrative structure and an original system of consumable weapons. Its modest presentation and classicism let it slip by unnoticed. An honest, well-built adventure for fans of unpretentious Japanese RPGs.
