[PartTimeWarrior]

I hope it runs better than the 3DS version

 

[Wario64]

all those Steam leaks being confirmed

 

[Giolon]

Wow. I never expected that.

 

[Mohasus]

Man, all those leaks and I just wanted EDF 4.1 to come out soon.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Huh, may check it out this time then.

Keep bringing them niche handheld games over, guys, cuz I'm not coming to them!

 

[Salsa]

Wow. I never expected that.

not that surprising after Steam leak + Umihara Kawase trilogy being ported recently

 

[bede-x]

Oh yes, definitely want that on Steam. Day one if it's $20 or less.

 

[branny]

Yes!!!

Performance was EXTREMELY problematic on 3DS.

 

[Scrub Mcgrubb]

Wow that's surprising considering the developer is shuttered and already liquidated... must be a port house doing this version.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Publisher is going to be Degica? Not surprising it seems Atlus is useless on the PC front.

 

[Eusis]

Need Sega to whip them into gear ont hat front, and it's definitely gotta be with the Japanese side versus the American side given all the games American Atlus published generally included Steam as one of the platforms so they and the developers know what's up.

EDIT: And it's not even like Sega should need to be heavy handed there, just... Yo, look at how our games are doing on PC, why don't you try for this? We'll find you some good porters if need be.

Agatsuma was a publisher, not a developer. The studio that made Code of Princess and Umihara Kawase still exists and is presumably finishing the port for Degica.

 

[epmode]

Still waiting on that Megaten announcement. Any day/week/month/year/decade now.

 

[thesaucetastic]

Happy to see this. Here's to hoping the other leaked games get release announcements sooner rather than later, too.

 

[Eolz]

YEEEESSSSS

So who is publishing that now, Degica?

 

[Movalpolos]

Awesome. This runs like shit on 3DS so now I'll finally finish the game.

 

[Hayama Akito]

What the fuck with Degica, they are like the best company of all time since last year.

 

[Salsa]

What the fuck with Degica, they are like the best company of all time since last year.

for me it isnt "omg they're brilliant" as much as "oh someone finally cracked that there's high demand and money to be made from porting japanese stuff to Steam"

a lot of people tried and 8-4 constantly talk about it, it's finally happening but it sure took a while

I mean they're actually an eCommerce company, not even a focused videogame publisher

 

[komorebi]

Dragon's Crown wasn't in that list of leaks was it?

Because that's what this makes me want.

 

[robotzombie]

if only the game was good

i was so hyped for this game but the actual gameplay just wasn't there...

 

[Bass260]

for some reason i thought was going to be a code name steam and code of princess crossover.

 

[Weiss]

Why would anybody want this.

 

[Sou Da]

Read this as a codename steam sequel announcement. Disappointed

 

[HyperHip]

Gimme online and 60 fps plz

 

[smashballTaz]

I hope one day, if we all wish very very hard for it, Nier and Lost Oddysey come to Steam. Thanks.

 

[Jiguryo]

And I just bought the 3DS version on eShop this weekend. Performance issues aside, I'm enjoying it - and I have a feeling I'd play this more often on a portable system than on the PC.

But if the price is right, who knows?

 

[Ezalc]

Man, all those leaks and I just wanted EDF 4.1 to come out soon.

Hold strong friend, one day we'll get there. Believe.

This game seems like fun though, so I'm looking forward to it.

 

[jj984jj]

That's cool. I didn't pick up the 3DS version because of the technical issues, but on PC I might get it when it's cheap and see if it can provide a bit of co-op fun.

And if it isn't as deep as I'd like at least I know it should be some mindless fun with an entertaining localization and some decent voice acting thanks to Atlus.

Me too Or at the very least an update for the new Fire Emblem amiibos

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

Maybe the online portion won't be dead in 6 weeks? lol

 

[netgrimoire]

Atlus is finally joining the Steam...train.

 

[sixteen-bit]

i might try this if they fix the slowdown

[chaobreaker]

Surprised to see excitement over this game. Isn't it considered a ho-hum hack-and-slash RPG?

 

[Zolo]

Now you can play a better game.

Spoiler

I've never played either game.

 

[Platy]

I liked the game ... it is a very good guardian heroes like game

I wonder what price it will come to steam ... it is an old game that is ALWAYS on sale on the 3ds eshop

 

[Grief.exe]

It has more to do with the larger context of Atlus essentially being the last major Japanese publisher to fully commit to Steam.

 

[Zolo]

Atlus will now determine whether to publish their other games to Steam based on this reception.

 

[RM8]

It was okay, but very short. And yeah, performance was pretty bad.

 

[Syril]

Surprised to see excitement over this game. Isn't it considered a ho-hum hack-and-slash RPG?

It's a 3-plane beatemup like Guardian Heroes. It has a really solid framework, but the persistent character levels can make things really unbalanced. It also had really bad performance, so a PC version would be really neat to see.

 

[GungriffonEX]

I enjoyed this enough despite the small screen and bad performance. Wasnt the Guardian Heroes successor I wanted, but it scratched that beat-em-up itch.

 

[Regiruler]

Chalk me up in the (small) list of people that somehow interpreted the title as a Code Name Steam sequel.

I need sleep.

 

[chaobreaker]

It has more to do with the larger context of Atlus essentially being the last major Japanese publisher to fully commit to Steam.

I mean it's not even a in-house developed Atlus game, they just published the game outside of Japan. We don't know the circumstances that led to this particular game getting a PC port but I bet it due to how the now defunct Agatsuma Entertainment developed the game in the first place.

At this point, it's more of a minor commitment to PC gaming instead of a full one for Atlus.

 

[Basileus777]

Atlus doesn't seem to have any involvement in this, so I'm not sure why the Atlus connection is a reason to be excited here.

 

[RM8]

I was super confused because of "Code" and "STEAM" as well, lol.

And now I'm sad

 

[me0wish]

With all the issues aside, Code of Princess is an awesome 3DS game, one of my favorite 3DS games in fact, the OST is so kickass!

Really happy its coming to Steam, hopefully it doesn't look ugly and play in slow motion. Local coop will be a pretty sweet addition.

I'm just telling you, PC gamers get excited about the possibilities.

If I buy this we get Persona 5 at 4K....well that's not accurate, but we can dream damn it.

 

[CertifiedFP]

Guys, I don't think Atlus has any involvement beyond allowing their localization to be republished for this.

The guy who did that tease is from Degica, not Atlus.

 

[jj984jj]

That doesn't make any sense. It's nice that we'll be getting a game they localized, but it doesn't mean anything in terms of a commitment unless they're the publisher on PC. The previous PC releases from Atlus USA is more of a commitment than this.

And whether or not they're the publisher, it doesn't change a thing in terms of the development teams in Japan bringing their games to PC. This game is from people who made Guardian Heroes, Studio Saizensen, and Agatsuma Entertainment. The latter two already brought Umihara Kawase to Steam, and there was no involvement from Atlus there.
