La Pucelle, another PlayStation 2 strategy-RPG from Disgaea-creators Nippon Ichi, will be coming to America courtesy of Mastiff. Undergoing a more unusual name change, it will be known as La Pucelle: Tactics when it hits our shores in 2004.
"Sometimes cute and light, sometimes dark but always intense, La Pucelle: Tactics will be the must-play tactical RPG of 2004 and we're delighted to be able to work with Mastiff on it" says Sohei Niikawa, Managing Director of Nippon Ichi Inc.
Mika Hayashi, Mastiff's Big Woof, Japan, and producer for La Pucelle: Tactics adds: "Instant, continuous level-ups, items you can combine and enemies willing to come to your side, together with a heavily tactical battle system and heartrending story make this a great game."
Though Mastiff may not have the largest track record, the company is comprised of Activision veterans that acquired many cult but enjoyable games during their tenure, including Virtual On:Oratorio Tangram, Guardian's Crusade, and Sky Odyssey.
