Atlus Picks Up Luminous Arc

Atlus USA has announced that they'll bring Luminous Arc to the US Nintendo DS units.

Atlus today announced the acquisition of the North American publishing rights to Luminous Arc, a strategy RPG exclusively for the Nintendo DS, and planned for release later this year.

Originally published in Japan, Luminous Arc is developed by Image Epoch and produced by Marvelous Interactive, producers of the popular Harvest Moon series, the Legend of River King games, and Contact, the surprise action-RPG hit for the DS.

One thousand years ago, dragons and Witches warred against God for the fate of the world. God's power was triumphant, but it was a difficult struggle, and the deity sent Himself into a deep sleep to recover from the terrible wounds he suffered in the battle. Ten years ago, the Church has proclaimed that a great event will soon occur: God will be reborn, and the world will be led into a new golden age under His guidance. However, this news is coupled with a grave warning: the Witches will soon reappear to begin the millennia-old conflict once again.

Take control of the Garden Children, a group of fighters and mages trained since childhood and dedicated to eradicating the Witch threat, and discover the mysteries behind their return, their motives, and their history!

Features:

• An isometric strategy RPG on the Nintendo DS!
• Create new weapons and equipment with the Vitae Imbuing system!
• Strengthen your friendship with comrades and improve your attacks on the battlefield!
• Compare your friends' strategic prowess against your own with Wi-Fi multiplayer!
• A variety of unique characters drive an epic story featuring voiced dialogue!

  I love Summon Night 3, a lot more weapon skills has been added with the ability to enhance each weapon by adding parts. But besides from those points there is not that many difference between Summon Night 2 and 3.

  This somehow sounds like... 'his dark materials' trilogy by Philip Pullman, has anyone read it?
