Eiyuu Senki – The World Conquest is coming to PlayStation 3 for the first time in English. Prepare to battle cute world leaders in this massive tactical RPG from Japan!

Yeeeeahhhhh.... I'm sadly a sucker for this stuff (whatever the official term is). Color me intrigued, though I've never heard of Fruitbat Factory.

I feel bad because the only reason I know what this is happens to be because it was an eroge on PC...

Man, if the last gen has taught me anything it is NOT to get my hopes up due to tantalizing bright anime aesthetics. Of the handful of niche' titles I got psyched for, so few actually proved decent that I can't even get wound up over things like this anymore.

I am happy titles such as this are getting localized but I simply can't care all that much until more is revealed.

Certainly looks like it has the potential to be something I could really love.... but then again so did Mugen Souls.

This is an eroge title? And they're bringing it to NA?

[Kevadu]

The PC version was an eroge.  They cleaned it up for the console version.  That sort of thing happens a lot.

and to quote Klyde...."so did Mugen Souls"

Well between this and SK Burst, I hope we're not just going to get toned down smutty visual novels.

I'd like to see some quirkier stuff like Donganronpa or that horror game from XSeed that I can't remember the name of.

Corpse Party?

[Kevadu]

Senran Kagura is toned down?

Yeah, I meant to specify that, but I forgot most people aren't well versed in this stuff so I figured mentioning the PC version was enough.

I'm sure the sex scenes weren't exactly vital to the game, anyways.

I cannot find any release date for NA/EU it just says when it came out in Japan.

Also it is hard to find info on this game in English. Is it like Disgaea meets Katawa Shoujo?

Corpse Party?

That's the one, thanks.

Do you mean strategy RPG meets visual novel? Or those games specifically? If the former: yes. If the latter: no.

There's some info here on gameplay: http://eiyuuwiki.wikidot.com/wiki:gameplay

They just announced the localization.  That rarely comes with a specific release date.
