Dramatic adventure " Thirteen Machine Defense Bloc " was released on PS4 on Thursday, November 28, 2019.
The game attracted a lot of attention even before its release because it was a new title by the tag team of Atlus and Vanillaware, but once it was released, it fascinated gamers with its worldview and gameplay.
It is probably still fresh in our minds that the game won various awards, including the "Japan Game Awards 2020" for excellence.
As a fan of Atlus and Vanillaware titles such as "Dragon's Crown" and "Odin Sphere," I, of course, pre-ordered the game and played it from the day it was released, and I have already cleared the game.
I would like to erase my memory and play it again if I could. "Thirteen Soldiers Defense Circle" was released only for PS4, and only PS4 and PS5 users could play it.
However, two years have passed since its release, and a new Nintendo Switch version is now available!
The story of the 13 main characters is now in your hands!
The "Thirteen Soldiers Defense Circle" is a dramatic adventure game in which the story is told from the viewpoints of each of the thirteen main characters.
The game is composed of three parts: the " Reminiscence " adventure part, the " Collapse " simulation battle part, and the " Investigation" part, which is also an archive and allows players to learn more about themselves, objects, and matters that appeared in the story. The game is divided into three parts: the "Collapse" section, which is also an archive, and the "Investigation" section, in which you can learn more about yourself, objects, and matters that appeared in the story.
I would like to explain more about the contents of the game, but since I have already played and cleared "The 13th Air Defense Force", I do not want to touch on the contents of the game!
If possible, I would like you to play the game without reading too much about the characters or the prologue of the story!
The Nintendo Switch version is basically the same as the PS4 version, but of course there are additional elements.
In the "Collapse Arc" battle part, there are two types of armaments per main character, for a total of 26 types, which makes the "Collapse Arc" even more fun to play.
The game also includes English audio, and you can switch between Japanese and English voices!
A gorgeous edition with all the extras!
The Nintendo Switch version of "The 13th Air Defense Circle" is scheduled for release on April 14, 2022 (Thursday)! Both the downloadable and packaged versions will be priced at 7,678 yen (tax included).
The Nintendo Switch version of the game will include the " Digital Secret File " that comes with the PS4 version, as well as the " Digital Artworks " that comes with the first-arrival purchase of the game.
The 132-page "Digital Secret File" is a massive 132-page booklet that includes all of the game's most treasured artwork, and the "Digital Artworks" contains 9 new artworks that were written after the PS4 version was released, so it's a great way to get a feel for the game and get a feel for how it was created. The "Digital Artworks" section includes 9 new artworks written after the PS4 version was released, so even those who have played the PS4 version will be drooling over the contents.
And more! The packaged version of the game comes with a "Reversible Jacket" with a new illustration on the back!
The reverse side of the jacket is a new illustration, so you can put the PS4 version and the PS2 version side by side.
Aside from the gorgeous extras, the "Reminiscence" version is perfect for playing in handheld mode, while the "Collapse" version can be played on the big screen in TV mode. Even those who have played the PS4 version once can play it again with a fresh feeling.
Although the game will not be available for purchase for a little while, pre-orders are already being accepted at retailers, My Nintendo Store, and Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch.
This title is especially recommended for those who have not yet played the game, or for those who are new to the "Thirteen Soldiers Defense Circle," so be sure to pre-order your copy and wait for the game to go on sale!
