Aksys Games Creeps Us Out With More Weirdness!
And just how do you pronounce Aksys? Access? A Key Sis? Axe Size?
Published: October 27, 2009
PlayStation Portable owners may possibly be pleased to find out that Aksys Games has a pair of releases lined up for this Spring. Both games feature difficult-to-pronounce names what makes us glad we aren't talking about this on a podcast, lest the raving lunatic Aksys Games fanbase hunts us down (good luck finding ME) and tears us limb from limb for desecrating the name of their holinesses, Mimana Iyar and Cho Aniki.
So before I rile them up any further, let's check out some info on what they have cooking...
Mimana Iyar Chronicles blends the traditional RPG elements of vast map exploration and treacherous dungeon spelunking. Engage in fast-paced battles in a quasi-3D environment where you control the character’s movement and actions, and strategically command your party to turn the tide of battle. Your actions dictate how the story unfolds, through numerous fully-voiced event sequences.
“Mimana Iyar Chronicles is a great mix of fast-paced, real-time action battles combined with a slew of girls to accompany you along the way,” states Frank “Bo” deWindt II, Associate Producer, Aksys Games. “With your ladies by your side on your epic quest to save the world, no one can stand in your way!"
Mimana Iyar Chronicles Key Features:
• MIMANA COMES TO LIFE
Experience the story of Mimana through beautiful, hand-drawn anime sequences!
• GOTTA HAVE OPTIONS!
Battle alongside fair maidens and, when the timing is right, choose one of them to get closer to!
• REAL-TIME BATTLES!
Action-based battles between your party members and enemies explode with spells, skills, and excitement. Take advantage of the depth of the battlefield to strategically place your party members and claim victory.
• CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES!
Time your attacks just right to deal massive damage to your enemies!
Interesting... but wait! There's more!
Cho Aniki Zero brings manliness back to the old-school shoot-em-up genre and, warps it to another dimension of sights and sounds. In Cho Aniki Zero, players will be introduced to brand-new characters and newly heightened experiences of rhythmic action, intertwined with the famous BGM of Kouji Hayama. Battle through five man-rageous levels of brotherly love and muscle-on-muscle madness!
The Story So Far…
Since the death of Balzac, the Builder Planet has celebrated a long period of peace.
However, as time goes by, protein becomes scarce, and protein deficiency is soon a serious problem for the Builder Planet. As people struggle for control over what protein is left, Balzac II begins his subtle rise to power...
Learning of his return, Idaten and Benten take up arms and begin their man-tastic voyage...
“Cho Aniki Zero is a real trip,” said Frank “Bo” deWindt II, Associate Producer, Aksys Games. “It’s wacky, hilarious, and just plain fun. Be it the crazy characters, the challenging gameplay, or even the out-of-this-world enemies, you’ll find yourself chugging down protein shakes between levels before you know it!”
Key Features:
• MUSCLE REIGNS SUPREME
Choose between Idaten and Benten, then select your “Option” (sidekick) such as Samson, Adon, or Micha & El. Defeat Emperor Balzac before he claims the universe’s protein for himself!
• MEN’S BEEEEEEEAM!
Too much man-action on the screen? Collect enough Man Protein to unleash the devastating attack of the Men’s Beam!
• IT’S RAINING MEN!
Blaze through five man-mazing levels of love, and bear witness to the birth and rebirth of some of the greatest bromances of all time!
• CHOOSE WISELY…
Cho Aniki Zero offers multiple paths that leads to various endings for our muscle-bound heroes!
Manly indeed!
