Those of you who are particularly devoted to the Mega Visions Empire (join us, free burritos on Fridays) will know that we reported recently on a mysterious RPG the good folks at SEGA have been teasing. Though it looked like naught more than a smartphone game, new IPs are nonetheless always exciting, and thus here we sat, twiddling our control-stick-calloused thumbs and waiting for the curtain to be lifted on the project.
Said curtain has now gone up, and as Eurogamer reports, it’s called Sin Chronicle. While it is indeed a mobile title, for which it’s been utterly pilloried on social media, the concept is somewhat intriguing. “It’s set for iOS and Android on 15th December in Japan,” states the article, but “a Western release has yet to be announced.” Here we go again. Check out the game’s trailer below.
Gameplay looks pretty standard for this sort of thing; with a free-roaming 3D perspective, an encroaching dark force to battle in turns, and a cast of impossibly attractive, irritatingly precocious young adults to play as. (I mean, really. Just look at the amount of chest flesh on display in that header image. Mythra and Sephiroth must be blushing.)
“Sin Chronicle is a single-player “choose your own ending RPG” from the team behind Sega’s Chain Chronicle series,” continues the press release. “The choose your own ending aspect revolves around the two choices players have to choose from at the end of each chapter. You decide who will live and who will die – and there are supposedly no do-overs.” Ah, good. I always wanted to play God with a bunch of anime girls (?).
In all sincerity, let’s give this one a chance, and keep our fingers crossed for a Western release. Originality is always much appreciated.
Are you excited by this reveal? Let us know!
