It’s been a long time since we’ve brought you any news on Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines, but I’m excited to announce that this unique JRPG will be available as a digital download on PS Vita via PlayStation Store for €19.99 from 4th March!

I think this is what most people expected, but it's cheaper than I thought! Day 1

 

[Foshy]

holy shit

wow

mine

 

[Callibretto]

cheaper than I thought, definitely will buy.

 

[Pennywise83]

Wow, this is cool news. That price is godly.

 

[SerTapTap]

No physical is sad but uh yeah, for $20 I'll have at that.

Hope they market it, date's out of the blue

 

[Pennywise]

Great for that price.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I'm intrigued by this. Do I need to have played its predecessor first?

 

[TheShampion]

Wasn't expecting the price to be so low. Interesting.

It’s been a long time since we’ve brought you any news on Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines, but I’m excited to announce that this unique JRPG will be available as a digital download on PS Vita via PlayStation Store for $19.99 starting on March 3rd!

So what does Oreshika bring to fans of the genre? Well, first of all there’s the striking graphic style. Set in ancient Japan, the game art delivers a rich world inspired by traditional brush paintings of the Heian era. You’ll be exploring a beautiful, watercolor world filled with weird and wonderful creatures based on Japanese mythology. Oh, and we’ve kept the fantastic Japanese voiceover which fits in with the atmosphere perfectly.

The gameplay is quite unique, too. In Oreshika, you’ll take control of a clan whose bloodlines have been struck with two terrible curses — a Curse of Ephemerality, and a Curse of Broken Lineage.

[darkwing]

nice, at $20, its bought

 

[JMTHEFOX]

So glad its still coming, even though it's digital only.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Dat price

 

[Corpekata]

Is this compatible with PSTVs?

 

[zeromcd73]

Wasn't expecting the price to be so low. Interesting.

Sony being nice since it's probably their last brand new internally developed Vita exclusive?

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Day one when it is released.

 

[Maintenance]

Wait a minute.

And while we’re on the topic of gods, I should mention that for a period of two weeks from launch, you’ll receive the gods Kiri no Mashū and Tonkararin as a special bonus when you purchase the game! So make sure you don’t miss out on this chance to bag these two rare gods that can’t otherwise be unlocked through gameplay.

For fuck's sake.

 

[SerTapTap]

I'm intrigued by this. Do I need to have played its predecessor first?

It kind of sounds like you might enjoy it more if you don't...sequel apparently changes some fairly major stuff from the first that people liked. I don't think it came out in the west/english anyway though.

 

[bigkrev]

March 3rd.... possibly a free PS Plus game for the month?

If not, they did a good job with the price. I'd hope that people that said they weren't buying it because it was digital only will bite at the reduced price

 

[Yasumi]

Good price, will get on day 1.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

I'm intrigued by this. Do I need to have played its predecessor first?

I was thinking the same.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

March is going to be the death of me.

 

[zeromcd73]

I'm intrigued by this. Do I need to have played its predecessor first?

Nah, You good.

 

[SliceSabre]

Always thought this game looked amazing. Glad we're getting it in the west now and so very soon too! But gawd ANOTHER March release.

 

[Brew124]

Fantastic, and sooner than I expected. Day one for sure.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

WOW. Fuck. This changes everything. I'm in.

 

[The Last Wizard]

Damn, I said I was gonna chill on purchases for a while but this is impulse territory.

 

[GloriousBagel]

Two days before my birthday, sweet!

 

[Flunkie]

Hell yeah.

 

[Nightengale]

Sony being nice since it's probably their last brand new internally developed Vita exclusive?

You don't think we'll get Freedom Wars : Omega?

 

[Mass_Pincup]

Digital only? Screw you Sony, it's incredible way they keep disappointing me even though I basically expected nothing from them...

 

[Spiegel]

Sony being nice since it's probably their last brand new internally developed Vita exclusive?

This isn't an internal project.

You don't think we'll get Freedom Wars : Omega?

Also not internal if it happens.

 

[robotzombie]

I can't believe this is out so soon and for so cheap, I was expecting June and $40

I didn't need another goddamn guaranteed purchase in March, that month is a bloodbath as it is

 

[ShogunDarius]

that price is really good

 

[zeromcd73]

You don't think we'll get Freedom Wars : Omega?

No

Spoiler

t Vita exclusive. Not sure if it will happen at all.

 

[JJP12]

It's alive! I didn't expect it to come out so soon and at only 20 bucks. Definitely very excited for this one.

 

[Nightengale]

No

Spoiler

t Vita exclusive. Not sure if it will happen at all.

>Vita exclusive

[Venfayth]

I started playing Massive Chalice but I realized how little I enjoy the mechanic where your characters are constantly dying. It sounds like this has the same thing going on. I think I'll pass, but it's great that it's coming here.

 

[maouvin]

yisss!

March is going to be the death of me.

What's 20 bucks more, aye?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

so how is this game? It's nice to have something new and different to play on the vita but it would be nice if it was fun, too

 

[Nightengale]

March is going to be the death of me.

Did you hold back for February? =)

March is gonna be good.

 

[Flunkie]

Hell yeah. I've heard this is so good so I'm totally in @ that price.

 

[Wanchan]

Wow, at that price it's a steal..

 

[MUnited83]

Holy crap thats cheap

 

[jonno394]

Digital only? Screw you Sony, it's incredible way they keep disappointing me even though I basically expected nothing from them...

Yes, my thoughts too.

 

[Canis lupus]

They don't mention the game at their press conferences or even acknowledge its existence by uploading some trailers to get hyped about on their own YT channel and bam, simple blog post saying game comes out in 2 weeks.

Congrats Sony for sending another game to bomb.

 

[Nightengale]

so how is this game? It's nice to have something new and different to play on the vita but it would be nice if it was fun, too

Holy crap. IN.

 

[Takao]

This game isn't internally developed. Japan Studio has developed an astounding 2 Vita games to date.

 

[outunderthestars]

Day one for me.
