Aksys is bringing NG (PS4/Vita/Switch/Steam - Death Mark sequel) to the West October 2019
- Thread starter Shizuka
- Start date
Didn't even know this game had a sequel.
I still think it's hilarious that Experience Inc. went from making these mediocre Dungeon RPGs that were mostly visual novel segments, to just cutting out the middleman and making full visual novels.

I haven't played all of Experience's games, but Stranger of Sword City sure seemed pretty heavy on the dungeon crawling and pretty light on the visual novel storytelling.
Oh, woah nice. I didn't entirely love Death Mark, but it was good enough that I'd be in for another one. The atmosphere was pretty on point.
Ideally it's a bit better about how it depicts women.

By far the most stressful VN I've ever played, and I'd only completed chapter 1. Really good from that, and I really need to get back to it.

It was pretty great, I had a fun time. I gave the PS4 version a 90/100 last year.
Damn. Not bad. I'll consider it. Want to pick up Shibuya Scramble for now.
Sequel to Death Mark you say? That's a Day 1 then.
Minus the goofy fanservice, I'd rate it a solid 8/10 for a VN. The puzzles weren't too tricky, but the writing and the horror stories were well done. Not a very long game either.
might get switch this time, since i doubt they can do vita physical. Or buy vita digital, and have collectors switch

Yes, this'd be the first we're hearing about a Switch and Steam port.
Waiting on them to announce the inevitable ports that will be coming some months later so it'll be localized. I wouldn't mind playing it on Vita but I doubt even Aksys would still want to do a Vita exclusive these days.
I thought it was very strange at the time, because Death Mark did get a Switch release in Japan.
maybe they had a deal with Playstation there.
I have yet to play Death Mark so i don't know what to expect honestly, but i will keep a close eye on both.
I wish someone will bring Iwaihime to the west, though.
Having played both Demon Gaze and Operation Abyss, I would say they're both far more DRPG's than visual novels. Which have you played to reach that conclusion?
This is very relevant to my interests! Loving the turn towards visual novels the developer has gone, personally. I mean I enjoy dungeon crawlers too but horror visual novels, can always do with more of those!
It's up on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V39LMKL?ref_=bl_dp_s_mw_3447632011
The box art for Death Mark was a lot better in my opinion.

Yep
I was working on the OT today and saw that a bunch of new video footage was uploaded over the last two days. There must have been some kind of streamer embargo that let's them show the first full chapter in English. Here's Switch, Vita and PC footage (edit: the game has a slow start, so no huge spoilers if you know the general story):
Does anyone know if there's a review embargo?

There's no review embargo, so reviews should be popping up soon :)
Thanks for working on an OT as well to help spread the word on Spirit Hunter: NG! :D
Thanks, that's good to know.
The OT is pretty much done and ready to go when reviews start to show up / 72h before release. I really liked what I played of the import, hope NG reviews and sells well so the Spirit Hunter series can keep on going :)
There is no Collector's Edition this time around, right? Looked on all stores, but couldn't find anything. Loved the CE for Death Mark. The gorgeous artwork on the stury box was really something.
Will probably get the EU Switch release of NG. Thanks for a) releasing a retail version in Europe as well and b) this close to the US release! Excited for this.
Yeah, no CE this time around unfortunately >.<
However, if you order off our Aksys webstore, we are offering a set of Spirit Hunter: NG character cards as seen here:
(You also get 20% off the game if you pre-order before Oct 10th)
And we're happy we're able to release the PS4/Switch version physically in Europe around the same time as the US :)
Just to note, the game will be releasing physically/digitally on PS4/Switch, and digitally only on VITA and Steam.
The Japanese version of the game was only PS4/VITA.
