Posted by James McGee on 04.29.2009
Old-school Japanese RPG mentality, but with some unique twists.
Tecmo will be bringing the Japanese RPG Nostalgeo no Kaze to the U.S. this September. Renamed Nostalgia for Western audiences, the game focuses on Eddie, a Londoner from an alternate-reality 19th Century, as he and his friends set out for adventure in his steampunk zeppelin.
Nostalgia features both turned-based, close-quarters melee combat and epic airship battles. The action will be complimented by exploration and puzzle solvingPlayers will be able to customize their airship and characters with various skills, armor and weapons while exploring locales you wouldn't normally see in a traditional RPG—such as New York, Cairo, London, and parts of Africa. The game promises to offer DS owners a new breed of RPG when it is released later this year.
