Tema: Sengoku Efuda Yuugi -Hototogisu- Ran
http://www.irem.co.jp/official/hototogisu_ran/
From my website:
Another Irem strategy game for the PSP, this one featuring a mix of grid-based tactics and card-based battle system. The theme is Sengoku-era, featuring (who else?) Oda Nobunaga, and the cards are being drawn by a number of guest artists (see Culdcept). The producer/game designer is a dude named Matsuo Goro who apparently used to be a regional champion at Magic: The Gathering, so the card-battle system should be solid. Hopefully he’ll be sensible enough to make sure this game ends up more challenging than R-Type Tactics, and with a better designed campaign. (All the more so because, unfortunately, just as in Tactics, there’ll be no online mode; just local versus battles.)
Comes out this summer.
(By the way, the old Irem had made another game called Hototogisu for the Famicom. I’ve no idea what it was about though. Perhaps someone can look this up for me.)
