Heres an excerpt:
The role-playing genre is on its surface just a mess of menu options and spikey-haired heroes acting out your chosen action, but the genre is always in constant flux in small and big ways across the multitudes of titles released each year. One of the more unique RPGs shown here at TGS was Marvelous Interactive's Valhalla Knights, an exclusive PSP RPG that combined action-RPG gameplay, tactical team combat and even stealth action. All good stuff by our book, and we're hopeful that Marvelous' counterparts at Natsume are taking notice of this game for a US release.
Valhalla Knights is a full 3D RPG where you venture out with a party of multiple heroes (a total of 10 characters are listed on the official site, with as many as six shown in battle) in a dungeon-crawling adventure. Each of the four characters can be played as at any time with a quick press of the Select button. Gameplay is realtime, in exploration and in battle, with full control over the camera as you play. You can play multiplayer with two gamers connected by ad-hoc, either together in co-op mode or adversarial in battle mode.
