    Dreamcast Karous Released - New Commercial Dreamcast Game

    update

    Just remember the Dreamcast Homebrew Community refuses to die, check out the DC News Homepage for all the latest Dreamcast News and also the Dreamcast File Archive has hundreds of games, emulators, applications and demos for the Dreamcast

    Original Newspost

    The Dreamcast still refuses to die, heres the news and release of yet another game released for the DC:



    SPREAD THE WORD



    Karou comes from the young Japanese developer MileStone. Milestone has been responsible for two other recently released Dreamcast™ shooters -- Chaos Field and Radilgy. Both titles were also ported to Gamecube™ and PlayStation2™ later on.

    Karous - which translates to 'Crow' in English - looks similar to Chaos Field and especially Radilgy, using many of the same gameplay mechanics of both games and featuring some of the cell-shading style used in Radilgy. The game is about a girl born of a union between an angel and a human. She gets firepower by gaining equipments like a sword, shield and guns. The graphics stick to the basics black and white palette of colours to give the game a gothic feel.

    An initial shipment of Milestone's Karous / Crow for Dreamcast™ has arrived today, covering approx. 40% of all preorders. We are expecting a lot more supply by tomorrow, shipping at US$ 59.90 only. The Segadirect Edition release will be in stock on Friday.

    With Sega shutting down the GD-ROM production, Karous is expected to be the last commercial Dreamcast™ game.

    This sounds like a good game to play. It's a shame that Sega will be packing up GD-ROM production very soon now.

    Karous: Released or not...

    My preordered copy from Play-Asia.com will be at my door tomorrow 07March 2007. :-) (Going by the email Play-Asia.com sent...)

    Hopefully, it is not the last SEGA licensed Dreamcast game!

    What?! I thought the whole shutting the GD-Rom production thing down was still rumor status, when did SEGA confirm it?

    The only way to get official releases is via GD-ROM. Sega will not license games on CD-ROM.
