This looks great! And at $15 that is a good price for a fun looking mech action game.

ASW is infamous for not releasing their games worldwide.

Doesn't seem to be a problem for Blazblue. Weirdly selective of them. Kind of stupid too. They could just dump the us version on psn for free euros. I'd have no problem with it. I had a jp vita account for a while but all the account switching pissed me off. I'm entirely dependent on localisations now
They only published Chrono Phantasma in EU PSN, which is unavailable in those countries in addition to Portugal. This applies to all of the games they've published. PQube published the earlier Blazblue games.Doesn't seem to be a problem for Blazblue. Weirdly selective of them. Kind of stupid too. They could just dump the us version on psn for free euros.

And they are dumping the US versions on EU PSN... but not everywhere because who knows why. I have been trying to chase these kind of issues for months but it's tough to get answers.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's some sort of weird language support issue. I remember a Super Best Friendcast podcast episode where the hosts (Canadians) couldn't get a game w/o importing it because all games in Quebec have to be in/have French language tracks and that specific game didn't have that.
Nothing to do with that. Plenty of English only games have been released in Europe since the 80s and are still being released.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Is this published in the west by Arc Systems themselves? Or is Sony publishing it?
Not that it matters, buying this anyway. Just curious. XD

Arc System Works.

Despite owning several BB games I did not know that. I guess a friendly e-mail to PQube is in order then
PQube? Why? Sadly they have nothing to do with Arc System Works anymore, and all their games are up on every store I think (except Persona 4 Arena which got pulled and never resurfaced).Despite owning several BB games I did not know that. I guess a friendly e-mail to PQube is in order then
Try contacting @Arcsystemworksu on twitter or mail them via their US and European website (and probably get nothing back or lies because the people running all those are clueless

So many Vita and 3DS niche games get localised yet we can't get the Dragon Quest games

Smaller publishers tend to have more realistic expectations for the sales numbers of their games, so they're more willing to localize them it seems.

This was out for a while now in Japan. Same goes for the other localized vita titles that get announced.
There are also time difference for development considering the PS4 is still fairly new and teams need to get up to speed with working with them. The ones that were not already proactive from the get go such as Koei, Sega and BandaiNamco is catching up.
The generation still just started for the most part and it will take time before more titles are released. If you do not see a good number of new titles come TGS then you can start to worry and ask questions.

bad gameplay lol
Holy shit, how have I never heard of this? Wasn't too enamored with the Fantasy Hero demo, but this looks right up my alley.
Here's a video with 23 minutes of gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo2RlU06xKk
For $14.99? I'm ALL over this.

I can't believe that the Japanese marketing campaign was that terrible and that the NA one isn't any better.

Wikipedia says it is... but given how few people seem to actually know the game exists, I wouldn't be surprised if someone just set that to yes and never actually checked it.
Yea I can't really trust the wiki, there's been at least 2 obscure games that weren't compatible. REALLY stupid that games like Soul sacrifice isn't compatible in NA but is in JPN, but Delta works just fine. Either way I'll definitely consider it, if there's a PS+ discount I'm in.

OT: Whenever the Strike series is mentioned around here, no one ever references Jungle Strike, which is the magnum opus of the franchise. Not picking on you, mantman, just something I've noticed lately, especially in the Flash Sale thread.

Here's hoping someone with a PS TV can definitively tell us if it's compatible.
Hmm for some reason I had forgotten that one but yes I believe you are correct. If Damascus Gear approaches that level of strategic fun then it will be a good game.
Its up for anyone interested.

No demo? =/ Figured it'd have one, since Fantasy Hero did.
No demo that I saw. Downloading now, I can post some early impressions in a bit for anyone on the fence.

Hmm... not looking good for PS TV compatibility, unless it's one of those games where they didn't label it properly.
Also, holy shit, they should've replaced the font, because the screencaps w/ the operator girl have entire sentences with spaces so small, they make everything look like one word.

Yeah, that's actually my biggest complaint right now. It makes it awkward to read.
I've got a few screenshots I grabbed. First, the aforementioned text issue:
It's pretty terrible, imo.
I do like the loading screen, though.
You can customize colors and name your Gear though, which is always appreciated.
Standard parts shop in addition to the parts you get from drops and completing missions.
The dock, where you equip the new parts.
So far I've been enjoying it, and it does kinda remind me of the Strike games. 3 missions in, and I don't regret holding on to the last $15 in my PSN wallet for it.
Can't use the DPAD to control your gear though, analog only.
