Information about up-coming, PS3-exclusive RPG,The Last Rebellion, has been sparse since the game was announced a few months ago. The game is a collaborative effort between Hitmaker andNippon Ichi Software, and it should be available some time this fall, although whether or not it’s coming Stateside is still a bit of a mystery.
Exploration is free-roaming, but the battles are a standard, turn-based affair cleary influenced byVagrant Story: you’re able to target your enemies’ specific body parts. Attack the legs and your enemy’s movement suffers; break an arm and his attack stat decreases, and so on and so forth.
What little I actually know about the premise sounds rather humdrum:Last Rebellion‘s two protagonists are Nine, a “Blade” on a quest for revenge (yawn), and Aisha, a magical “Sealer.” Unfortunately, the new batch of screenshots sitting in the gallery don’t inspire much confidence, either: they’re just kind of bland. They have a vagueDevil Summonerfeel, but nothing particuarly striking.
Here’s the catch, though: Nine and Aisha share one soul and one body and, consequently, one turn in battle. I suppose it could be interesting, but I’ve got a lot of RPGs to play already —The Last Rebellionis going to need something more compelling to convince me. According toa statement made to SiliconEra, the game is in the process of getting “overhauled,” so I won’t write it off just yet.
