Generation of Chaos 6 Announced for NA/EU release

[Andromeda]

Generation of Chaos 6, also known as Generation of Chaos: Pandora's Reflection is a PSP title released earlier this year in Japan. Considering the Vita's arrival and the lower popularity of the PSP beyond Japan, it came as a bit of a surprise that NISA announced that they will be localizing the game. The game is a collaboration between Idea Factory, developer of the series, and Sting, known for Gungnir.

The story for the game has you following Claude in his quest to breaking the curse that was placed on his sister Yuri. On his travels, he is dragged into greater situations that threat the fate of the world.

Generation of Chaos 6 is an unusual RPG that is more like a Tactics game at time and like a rhythm game as well. Combat is carried out like a rhythm with correct time equaling successful attacks. Movement on the field as you selecting a party member and selecting a destination. When the party member runs into an enemy a battle is triggered. Field movement is mostly carried out in real time with everyone on the map moving until you give another action or something is triggered.

The game is going to be a PSN release only, no hard copies. The lateness of the cycle of the handheld is likely one of the reasons NISA is going digital for the game. You can look forward to this title come February 2013. It is likely also going to be playable on the Vita through download and PS3 transfer, unless they make it immediately available on the Vita store. So Vita should also be able to play the game next year.
