Video Gaming News - October 2004
San Francisco, CA (October 19, 2004) - SEGA today announced the launch
of Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors for the Xbox.
From SEGA:
Like its predecessor, this new adventure is set in Japan and steeped in
real-life folklore and mysticism. Raikoh, the famed undead warrior, managed to
temporarily save the Japanese population from an onslaught of demons, but had
not vanquished them all before returning to his grave. The demons have regrouped
from hiding places within the sacred capital of Japan, and they are attempting
to take control of man once more. In response, four brave warriors take their
own lives in a ritual to resurrect Raikoh. Raikoh returns to life and the
selfless warriors rise with him, set to take on the encroaching demon spawn as a
team.
"SEGA is thrilled with the level of critical acclaim that Otogi 2: Immortal
Warriors has already received; surpassing that of its predecessor." said Scott
A. Steinberg, Vice President of Entertainment Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "Xbox
owners will be blown away by the action-packed experience that includes lavish
visuals that demonstrate the technical prowess of FromSoftware, a leading Xbox
developer."
Progression through the game is based on the player's actions, allowing for
several different endings. Each warrior offers a distinctly different gaming
experience, and RPG-style skill buffers subtly build the character's attributes
around a player's personal gaming style. Performing a lot of magic spells will
make a character smarter, taking lots of damage will make a character stronger,
etc. And regardless of which warrior one chooses to play as, mass destruction is
always assured; nearly every background item in the game can be smashed or
destroyed to spectacular effect.
Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors (Microsoft Xbox; priced at $39.95) is rated 'M' for
mature and is available at retailers nationwide.
