Welcome to the US PSN.
Can't say I expected a metal opening.
I'll say this for Imageepoch: they certainly try different things.

I'm pretty stoked for this. I've read some reviews on the JPN version and I know not to expect to be blown away by the gameplay but I've always enjoyed the "Black Rock Shooter" song and the artwork. $20 isn't bad by any means to experience all that style in game form, especially since I got $20 back from Sony this month anyway.
Preparing to d/l now!

Okay, I think I get the gist of the game flow now.
Built on the Fate/Extra engine, that's for sure.
You get free movement around the map until enemies contact you, like in F/E, then a battle starts. You move from side to side and blow things up, and overheat if you do it for too long.
Nothing fancy, but it's fun enough, and I dig the game's aesthetics and UI.
Some gorgeous artwork on display in the menu screens.
Also nice to be back on the PSP with some crisp, clear audio after suffering through 3DS' godawful speakers.

Sounds nice so far! I really loved Fate/Extra, so I can't wait to give this a shot later.

But how do I transfer the game to my Vita if it's on a Canadian account?

can i buy this game from my psp, and play it without having a ps3?
Yes. Go to the PlayStation Store on PSP.

Fate Extra are we talking about the RPG game here that had a rock paper scissor type system? That game I found was really tough. Not to mention for me a bit boring.
But it seems the main similarities are just the engine though?
cj_iwakura
Member
Yes, that's the one.
And the similarities end there, but I think the same composer did BRS. Music sounds a lot like F/E's.

Is IGN 'we don't review PSP games anymore' going to do this too? Color me shocked.
Do what? Review the game? I doubt it. lol

Well, they reviewed Book of Shadows, shockingly.
Dumped an hour into this today, cleared everything in Stage 1 except for all the pesky Golden Dawn enemies. Getting the timing down for dodging in battle and managing your heat meter can get pretty tough, plus you can't hammer on the dodge button or else you end up dodging right back into the enemy's attack. Will keep playing once I unload some of my classwork.

Different composers, actually. Fate/Extra was Shinji Hosoe, BRS is Manabu Namiki. Definitely similar styles for both games though.

I can live with that.

I don't get the dodging mechanic at all, how do you time it to get away and not get wailed on for doing it?
Have to time it after the flash. If you dodge right when the flash happens, the enemy still has the time to turn and hit you before he does the attack.

Not that I can tell. This game seems like it suffers from a lack of improvements that could have made it a lot more fun, like preemptive strikes and such.

Is this game an original story or does it tie into the anime? Or is it the same as the anime?
Each piece of BRS media is centered around the same character, but every one is an original story.

Cool. After I finish this, I'll watch the anime.
Also, downloading now, gonna get to it this weekend.

I'm thinking that guy just doesn't know. If it's licencing issues, it's not coming any time soon, sadly.
EDIT: Well I'm wrong.
Odd a while ago, they said it would be coming. They uploaded a BRS trailers today to PSN at very least.
I mean, here's their news feed from yesterday (23rd April 2013):

... This game has a horrible story. I dunno, gameplay is sort of fun but the script is a drag so far.

Oh great that explains why I find nothing on my EU PSN... so it's up in the air now if it even releases here?

Nah, I don't think it's cancelled. But depending on what went wrong, it's either up by Friday or in 6 weeks.

Ah okay thanks Jucksalbe, then lets hope it's really just a small mis-step so it's out by Friday D:

This is kind of a bad release so far... only available in certain territories, announced only 1 or 2 weeks before it's out, and now this delay.
Colin Moriarty clearly has no interest, but I'm guessing others are stepping in and doing it because they WANT to cover it, and the PSP's going to stubbornly cling on as long as it can anyway.

Yeah, this would be the day I drop and subsequently step on my Vita, and crack the screen in the process
Will buy this tomorrow if impressions are strong and sit on it until I can eBay a new unit...

The delay does suck, but at least I'll be sure to have the money next week (I spent it on the GamersGate sale this week, silly me) if the delay isn't too long.
