The ancient story of the holy island of Alfheim.


Shining-Resonance-Refrain-Story-PV_06-20-18.jpg




Sega has released a new story trailer for Shining Resonance Refrain.
Here is an overview of the game’s story, via Sega:
It has been one thousand years since the great war of Ragnarok. Dragons are thought long extinct—their crystalized souls spread across the land. Ten years ago, the Empire of Lombardia declared war on the Kingdom of Astoria. The Empire invaded Alfheim, but Astoria has managed to hold its ground. The Empire of Lombardia, scheming to obtain the lost power of ancient dragons, assigned a special mission to the Church’s elite knight squad: Beowulf. Their sights were set on capturing Yuma Ilvern—a boy with a dragon’s soul entwined with his own… the Shining Dragon himself, the most powerful of all dragons. Imprisoned, tortured, and lost in despair, Yuma was trapped in darkness and in chains… until a gallant girl burst into his cell, determined to break him out. He could never have imagined the battles that lay in store…
​
Shining Resonance Refrain is due out worldwide for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on July 10. In Japan, it is already available for PlayStation 4 and will launch for Switch on July 12. A demo is available now for consoles.

[FONT=&quot]Freedom Planet for Switch launches August 30[/FONT]
Published 1 day ago. 6 comments.

A fast-paced, combat-driven platform adventure.

Freedom-Planet-Switch_08-09-18.jpg


The Switch version of Freedom Planet will launch via the Nintendo eShop on August 30 in North America and Europe, publisher XSEED Games and developer GlaxyTrail announced.


Freedom Planet is currently available on PlayStation 4, Wii U, PC, Mac, and Linux.

Here is an overview of the game, via XSEED Games:
Freedom Planet is a fast-paced, combat-driven platform adventure that pits a spunky dragon girl and her friends against hostile foreign powers and alien attack forces. There’s trouble around every turn, from insects and giant robots to sheer explosive destruction, but players will have a variety of special fighting abilities at their disposal to blast through more than a dozen massive, non-linear stages.


Take back the world of Avalice and return peace to its three kingdoms for the first time on a handheld console! Play as one of three characters – Lilac, Carol or the unlockable Milla – each with their own unique gameplay style, and use their individual skills to forge a path through the gorgeous 2D pixel art and lush multi-scrolling backdrops that make up the stages in Freedom Planet.


Each character’s abilities add new ways to fell foes and traverse tumultuous terrain, employing the game’s momentum-based platforming and sprawling level designs to reward players with a seemingly bottomless barrage of secrets, alternate paths, hidden collectables, and speed run opportunities for faster clear times.


With a traditional ‘Adventure Mode’ featuring over an hour’s worth of fully voiced cutscenes to enhance the game’s dramatic storyline, and a ‘Classic Mode’ to get players straight into the action, the Nintendo Switch release of Freedom Planet offers the full, uncompromised experience at home or on the go. The game will be available in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Korean.
