Otogi, Coming to Xbox
SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that "OtogiTM - Myth of Demons" is currently in development and will be released in the U.S. this September, exclusively for the XboxTM video game system from Microsoft. Set in ancient Japan and steeped in real-life folklore and mysticism, "Otogi - Myth of Demons" is the story of Raiko, an undead warrior who must stop a ferocious demonic army that has been unleashed upon the Earth. As a long-forgotten doomsday myth materializes, Raiko must quickly master more than 30 weapons and 12 varieties of magic to dispatch endless hoards of demon warriors, massive boss characters and everything else that gets in his way. Blending frenetic fast-paced 3D action with deep RPG elements that allow gamers to upgrade weapons, magic and character attributes, in addition to managing an inventory of special items, "Otogi - Myth of Demons" delivers more than 25 massive, highly-destructible environments to explore and decimate. Trees, walls, furniture and even entire buildings can be destroyed as gamers master dozens of special moves and techniques that make for the most intense, stylish combat available on Xbox. "’Otogi - Myth of Demons’ delivers an amazing blend of stylish, over-the-top action and a rich story, loaded with exotic historical and literary overtones," said Mike Fischer, vice president of marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "Add jaw-dropping ’Xbox only’ graphics, addictive RPG elements and more than 15 hours of gameplay and it’s clear that ’Otogi - Myth of Demons’ is a ’must-have’ title for casual and hardcore gamers alike."Source: http://www.xboxaddict.com/
