It’s not too often you see a game from Square Enix employ the use of death metal guitar, screamo vocals, and copious amounts of blood.
Army Corps of Hell brings a new level of action to PS Vita. After being defeated in battle, the King of Hell is burned down to a meager corpse, stripped of his powers, and banished from his throne. He uses the last of his strength to take command of a legion of weak-minded yet bloodthirsty goblins to reclaim his throne.
To annihilate the demons of Hell, you’ll control an army of up to 100 goblin soldiers with unique classes and abilities. In true Square Enix fashion, a new synthesis system lets you combine materials dropped by fallen foes to create new equipment for your troops. Customized equipment can change your goblin soldiers’ looks and upgrade the abilities. We’re making use of the various features of the PlayStation Vita and we’ve implemented ad-hoc multiplayer.
Check out the latest trailer above, which shows brutal ad-hoc (local multiplayer action with up to four players.)
The rear touchpad can be used to command your Goblins to play instruments—activating special properties. You can use this to revive your hero, rejuvenate your soldiers, and inspire your army to increase their strength! Skillful play is rewarded with substantial benefits and a greater edge against the demon horde.
Using these strategies and some help from friends, you can tackle even greater challenges and pillage the rarest loot in the game.
I’ve really enjoyed the theme of the game, and I’m really getting into the soundtrack. Watching the trailer has me aching for some Refused or Woundeep! I love that Square Enix is expanding our pool of titles with games like Army Corps of Hell. For more information and imagery for Army Corps of Hell, ‘Like’ us on Facebook.
looks interesting! alot like pikmin on gamecube.
This actually looks pretty interesting. I like that it has Ad-Hoc play too. ( Since a few of my friends are also getting a Vita )
I’m really glad you guys aren’t going backwards and using old trends like online play. Your team and the team making Modnation Racers: Roadtrip are true innovators. WE SAY NAY, TO ONLINE PLAY! WE SAY NAY, TO ONLINE PLAY!
And no online because?
Dear Sony and third parties,
I know what your metrics told you from your PSP games, but they are wrong when applied to the Vita. The Vita is being scooped up by early adopters… the hardcore… and we expect certain things in our games. Like, for instance, ONLINE MULTIPLAYER! I mean you’re telling me that I was playing Warcraft over Kali in 1994 but in 2012 this game doesn’t have online play? Modnation doesn’t have online play? Uncharted doesn’t have online play?
WHAT!??!
You seem keenly unaware of who your audience is for the vita so i hope this post helps you out :)
Toodaloo,
famousmortimer
add-hoc mode?? i wish you said add-hoc mode before i watched the trailer. i thought you guys where talking about online when you said multiplayer
wait wait wait modnation racer and uncharted will not have online play?? well what will we use the 3g for? im getting a refund on my vita
I got one question that is off topic will the psvita have game sharing with a psp. EX. im playing twisted metal head on on the psp and can we play with a vita using one game umd or play co-op mode with metal gear solid peace walker between a psp and a vita. plase answer this question.
so this game its gonna be co-op?! AWESOME! now im sold! buying it. BUUUT…. whats up with no online instead of just ad-hoc??? ad-hoc its kool but online its too… so make it happen! I totally agree with comment #5.
PS vita its the ultimate handheld for real gaming exp. on the go. and not everyone will have the vita where u are going and even less the chances that ppl will have the vita AND A. C. O. H…. my point… Vita its a console for the hardcore gamer which we want to play online on the go… MAKE IT HAPPEN!
I’m happy to gather and share your thoughts (and post #5’s) with that of the development staff.
