Radiant Historia Set for North America

Following the successful release of Radiant Historia in Japan, Atlus is pleased to announce today that they will be bringing the game in North America early next year.

Radiant Historia is an RPG game that combines a unique position-based battle system, intricate hand drawn details and one of the best soundtracks in recent memory as it takes gamers ona steampunk adventure back and forth through time.

“We’ve seen a future without a North American localization of Radiant Historia,” warned a stern Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales. “That future was depressing and noticeably lacking in the ‘epic handheld RPG’ category. Knowing what that tomorrow would be like, we’re excited to release Radiant Historia for Nintendo DS in February 2011. It’s the kind of gaming experience that is really a time machine unto itself, transporting gamers back to the 16-bit era, the golden age of RPGs. Prepare to jump forward and back through time, meeting a variety of memorable characters and taking in some of the most polished, lovingly hand-drawn visuals ever to grace a handheld entry in the genre. A gaming future without all that? Not pretty,” he concluded, grimacing.

Radiant History is scheduled for release on February 2011.
