505 Games Unleashes The Beast On Playstation Portable With Gurumin

press release:

505 Games today confirmed its plans to set loose the most monster-packed adventure ever on PlayStation Portable on April 13th. Gurumin is an action-RPG created by renowned developer Nihon Falcom - famous for its classic games in the “Zwei” and Ys” series of role-playing games.

Set in an original fantasy world, players slip into the jaunty red outfit of Parin, a young girl who is about to embark on an amazing journey. Parin befriends a mysterious young adventurer called Pino and together they discover a hidden town full of friendly monsters that only children have the ability to see. However, it’s not long before evil monsters called Phantoms appear in this idyllic world. The Phantoms kidnap Parin’s new pals and so, armed with the Legendary Drill, it’s up to Parin to save the day.

Players guide Parin in her quest to rescue the friendly monsters and regain the various elements that make up their town. The action unfolds across beautiful and stylised 3D landscapes, including mysterious forests, ancient ruins, dank caves and hazardous mountains. Many of the details in the game world are fully destructible and may yield secrets and rewards when bashed to bits. Battles are fought in real time with up to eight different attack types, and the Legendary Drill can be upgraded and enhanced to ensure maximum damage when facing the evil Phantoms. What’s more, stringing attacks in time with the beat of the music may help players strike critical hits!

Gurumin also features four addictive mini-games, five difficulty modes and multiple endings, ensuring it has maximum appeal for both experienced adventure gamers as well as players newer to the role-playing genre. With its cast of over twenty lovable and eccentric characters, and an intriguing and unique game world, Gurumin is a one-of-a-kind adventure for PlayStation Portable.

Gurumin releases exclusively on PlayStation Portable on April 13th, from publisher 505 Games, priced around £29.99.

It's alright, could have been a little less babyish, but some of the fights were tough

I'm still playing it. After finishing it five times. On "Crazy" difficulty it's really crazy =) One hit—and you're dead.

I'm playing JP version though.

You can't post threads in the *console* News Forum sections.
If you want to post news, just go to The Submit News Forum and click the button New Thread.
There are other sections where you can post threads if you have a problem with something related to emulation.

I think this game is quite good. It is very solid design wise. It is to cute or adorable though. But honestly some of the boss battles can be fairly difficult. It is like a cutsey zelda/drill dozer hybrid and I like it very much. It actually had me putting games like Burnout Dominator and Portable ops down if albeit it for a few hours just to switch it up. It does have a few problems. I dont like the camera at times and the way you grab/push objsts.

On the plus side the graphics are great. The voices are great. And the dialouge had me cracking up.

Though sadly I would never uh purchase it. Nope never.

With relatively few solid games though for the psp (in regaurds to potential I understand there are dozens of great titles. Trust me lol. But I still think thanks to Dark Alex we have a huge solid ps1 line up that dwarfs the psp one in terms of quality) this one is a welcome addition in my opinion!
