Trailer: Luminous Arc

Presenting a gameplay trailer of Luminous Arc, an upcoming turn-based tactical RPG for the Nintendo DS.

The story explains one thousand years ago, dragons and Witches warred against God for the fate of the world. God’s power was triumphant, but it was a difficult struggle, and the deity sent Himself into a deep sleep to recover from the terrible wounds he suffered in the battle. Ten years ago, the Church has proclaimed that a great event will soon occur: God will be reborn, and the world will be led into a new golden age under His guidance.

However, the witches are also fated to return, and the world is doomed to conflict once again. Take control of the Garden Children, a group of fighters and mages trained since childhood and dedicated to eradicating the Witch threat, and discover the mysteries behind their return, their motives, and their history.

I’ve been a fan of RPGs from Atlus since Disgaea came along. While I think that Disgaea’s still their best title, any effort from them that follow the same gameplay mechanics is worth a look. It’s scheduled for an August release. Personally, it’s a bit too soon. My gaming backlog is really, really piling up.
