Purifying the darkness through tactical battles unfolds a Nippon Ichi RPG where cleansing the terrain and recruiting demons shape each clash. Beyond the story, a generous endgame of pushed levels and items to fuse devours long hours. That depth, the studio's own, founds a time-devouring longevity dear to fans.

Pucelle, La - Hikari no Seijo Densetsu (PS2) price, value & rarity
The Japanese Genteiban limited edition of La Pucelle, a Nippon Ichi tactical RPG whose spirit foreshadows Disgaea and its offbeat humor against a backdrop of demon purification. The original version of the title in its first language, this limited run is the matrix sought by the studio's fans, attentive to its careful first batches. Its desirability combines the prestige of a cult tactical studio and the scarcity of this limited release.
Is Pucelle, La - Hikari no Seijo Densetsu still worth playing in 2026?
A tactical RPG from Nippon Ichi Software, La Pucelle - Tactics follows a young exorcist and her companion in the service of a church, through tactical grid battles where you purify corrupted zones to turn demons to your cause, in an original system blending strategy and monster capture. The originality of the purification system, the offbeat humour and the tactical depth appeal to fans of tactical RPGs and of the Nippon Ichi school. The dated production and a demanding pace bound access. For a fan of tactical RPGs or someone curious about the Nippon Ichi world, the title keeps a preserved originality and depth, in a dated edition.
