A selection of the most interesting games due to hit Japan next week, courtesy the review pages of Famitsu magazine:
– Gloria Union (8/8/8/8, 32 points): Sting’s PSP follow-up to cult strategy RPG Yggdra Union doesn’t rock the boat at all — something every reviewer pointed out — but still satisfies for the most part. “The system hasn’t changed, but the game’s still easy to access and offers a lot of strategy,” one wrote. “It’s fun to think over which characters to deploy and which cards to use. The story works well with the ship-based gameplay, and overall it’s a reliably fun experience.”
Another reviewer had some more pointed criticism: “The game maps are a little too simple. I would’ve liked to see them be a bit more Sting-like.”
