A lot of games these days launching in Japan and never finding their way over here, which is a shame. Mostly because they are games that I want. But this time I will look at Malicious, for now… I will be doing a look into other games soon enough.
This one might be kind of short as there is not a lot to say about it… Aside from the fact that it looks great.
Malicious is an action game for the PlayStation Network made by Alvion, and is designed for simple gameplay, and as far as I can tell, takes place in one single room. In which you fight stronger bosses and enemies. with a strong focus on boss fights. You fight with a shifting cloak, that becomes Melee weapons as well as long-range weapons. In which you can mix up in many different combos.
A fairly basic game concept, you choose male of female and start fighting… Here is a picture of both.
Roughly the same design, both are well done and look cool. The artist is pretty good.
The gameplay can be seen here, shown in a gameplay trailer that was launched.
Not allot to say without being able to play the game, it looks good, and considering that Alvion has only made three games including this one. dating all the way back to their first game, ChainDive in 2003. Things look promising for the new studio. The gameplay looks very amusing, and in truth I hope this does come state side.
So lets hope it did good enough in Japan.
