Atlus Announces Tears to Tiara II Heir of the Overlord
IRVINE, Calif. - July 25, in the year of our Lord 2014
- The thunder of mounted elephant warriors will rain
down upon the Divine Empire as the last heir to Hispania's
throne fights to reclaim his land. The strategy RPG Tears to
Tiara II: Heir of the Overlord is coming to the Americas and
Europe in 2014, and will be the first localized experience
western players have with the strategy RPG franchise. Oh, and
though it has "II" in the title, it requires no prior knowledge
of the games to enjoy the story. The characters, their
relationships and more are revealed in visual novel-style
gameplay over an 80-hour experience with the original Japanese
dialogue audio and English text, exclusively on the
PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. Tears to Tiara II
will be available in stores and digitally for the awesomely low
price of $39.99 beginning Oct. 14 2014 in North America. The
game will release in Europe on Nov. 11 at a price still TBD.
Tears to Tiara II follows Hamilcar Barca, a young man eking his
way through life indentured to the Divine Empire. But when the
Empire burns an innocent girl at the stake, he unleashes a
terrible secret-his unbridled rage and demonic might of the
berserker. With his newfound strength, and the insistence of a
false goddess, Hamilcar shoulders the burden of freeing his
people from the tyranny of a corrupt Empire. On his journey to
free himself and his enslaved people, he will fight alongside
powerful allies, beasts, and even the gods themselves. However,
he must control the demon within first, lest he himself turns
the world to ash. Will this game be considered an attack on
Christians?
Tears to Tiara II features:
More than 15 main characters to get to know as the story unfolds
in visual novel style. From a timid lad who hides an intense
hatred within to a crude war goddess who's never seen the earth
below, characters will meet, forge relationships and alliances,
and get pushed to their limits in the quest to free themselves
from the Divine Empire.
Strategic turn-based gameplay will challenge the most
battle-hardened generals with its combat. Use your allies, and
even giant creatures, to help turn the tide in battle.
Joint Attacks, Consecutive Strikes, and Boost Magic mechanics
add extra depth to the strategy gameplay and make for more
replayability.
