Incline Elminage Gothic (former Japan only dungeon crawler)

Finally, some of you may remember talk of a new Japanese dungeon crawler that we’re in the process of bringing to PC, via Steam Well, with everything now finalised I’ll be able to reveal which one it is in next week’s blog. The game itself has never had a western release before, so we’re rather excited about it!

Does anyone with a better knowledge of that narrow type of game have any ideas? Wizardry is the only thing I, or the list of "first person" RPGs for PS3/360 on GameFAQs, can think of (maybe it's Diablo style and or a handheld game?) can think of, and that's a bit underwhelming.

(Thankfully Idea Factory seems to have never made such a game.)

If it's by the same company that made Agarest, then could it be Moero Chronicle?

I'm not particularly well-versed in Jap-only console dungeon crawlers, though.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

These modern Japanese dungeon crawlers from small developers are all bad, they are always obnoxious, convoluted, or dumbed down in some way.

THANKFULLY that's only barely been released and its a sequel to a game that is scheduled for (butchered) English release and won't be it for sure.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Well, whatever it may be, I will likely be happy to see another dungeon crawler to come to PC.

As for modern Jap crawlers, Generation Xth is pretty good. Too bad we won't see the rest of the series translated.

 

[Mortmal]

That ? i hope not...

 

[Old Hans]

I want more Wizardry: Tales of the Forsaken Land/Dark Spire. Less budget bin anime pastel nightmares

 

[LESS T_T]

Might it be a game by Experience (the developer of GENERATION XTH)?

At any rate they'll anounce the title at Thursday.

That would be too good to be true.

Apparently Elminage, which Ghostlight has published in PAL countries, is a dungeon crawler and a series. If it was a PS2/PSP game (not so much on the 3DS one though), it would certainly explain why they didn't mention releasing the original format as well (PSP is such a tiny market now, and apparently the only Sony staff capable of testing/liicensing new PS2 games is in South America).

 

[deuxhero]

And that was a correct guess it seems

Well anything is better than another Idea Fuck game.

 

[LESS T_T]

Nice.

I'm really happy it's not Moero hentai game.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Good enough, though from what I've heard Elminage is a bit too simplistic. Any game by Experience would get me much more excited.

Anyway, here's hoping it sells well so we can get more various dungeon crawlers translated in the future.

i guess this might be a good time to try the english release of the first elminage.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

There is no point in playing a convoluted, dumbed down, easy Wizardry lite.

The original Elminage looked cool but was apparently pretty badly translated and had a couple bad bugs in it. Everything I read made it sound like a clunkier Wizardry 7. I don't know anything about this one but it looks cool and I'm totally down for a recent Wizardry-like dungeon crawler on the PC.

I haven't played much Wizardry 7 but Elminage Original plays like the earlier Wizardry games.

Crooked Bee "Jap" is considered a racist term.

In other news, work on the PSP to PC conversion of Elminage Gothic has been going incredibly well and I’m pleased to say that the vast majority of the game has now been localised into English. There are still some very small pockets of Japanese text present in the game which we’re discovering through the pre-Beta testing phase, but we’re making great progress.

A big thank-you goes out to Tom for working with us on the English translation – he’s been doing a brilliant job on his first localisation project for Ghostlight In addition to the localisation process itself, we’ve also started adding some of the options specific to PC too, such as increased resolution for character/monster art, some amazing Steam Trading Cards and that all important windowed mode.

The conversion is going so well in fact, that we’re expecting the Steam Elminage Gothic closed Beta to be starting in the next couple of weeks. So, if you’re a hardened-dungeon-crawling-adventurer who’s interested in taking part in the Beta testing phase, we’ll soon be posting details on the blog of how to apply, so keep watching this space

Is this one better than Elminage Original? I thought that game was ok, but uninspired.

Elminage Gothic looking for Beta testers. Go beg for it if you want in.

I like to think I stopped a bit short of groveling but I did apply

#elminagegothic is no longer a PSP title. All new user GUI, hires character art and redrawn dungeon textures. Nearly ready for #steam

Sounds good.

Why the fuck is this game so expensive. I know it says limited to 300 copies but why? I recall browsing the Ghostlight web store some time ago and I think they had that game for like 20 pounds.
Though those might just be some eBay high as fuck buy it now price gougers, I doubt there's high enough demand for that game (outside obsessive PAL PSP collectors maybe) to warrant such a high price for such a resent game, where as with Xenoblade Chronicles the high prices are more understandable.
Any one here got it?

it's a psn game. you can buy it on psn for 15 bucks or so. those limited physical copies are just pure wankery.
