Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced Jeanne D’Arc for the PSP. The title is a visually stunning, tactics-based strategy role-playing game that is based on a national heroine of France.
About Jeanne D’Arc for the PSP:
- The Jeanne D’Arc story begins far in the past, when a great war was waged by humankind against demonic armies attempting to invade the human world. During that time, five brave heroes created armlets to contain the demon gods. In a quest to turn back the rueful army, a young crusader named Jeanne is commanded by mystifying voices to use the power of the magical armlet to seal away the demon king and recover her homeland for the last time.
- Set among extensive fields, battle-torn villages, and complex dungeons, Jeanne d’Arc unfolds through more than 40 expansive and highly detailed environments, where players will engage in the pursuit of France’s resurgence. Gamers will control up to 14 characters all through the journey, including humans and beasts, as they battle a variety of enemies in the quest to turn back the English domination. Jeanne d’Arc delivers a strategic, turn-based battle system where gamers engage in exceptional team attacks and defensive schemes, using multiple characters’ skills in combination to create devastating strikes. Further adding to the depth of play, each character has access to one of eight weapon types that are also upgradeable as players’ progress through the game. Additionally, players can modify their characters with more than 150 different skills and abilities throughout the game.
