Riviera: The Promised Land… promises a lot
Originally a Sting Entertainment game for the WonderSwan, then ported (by Atlus) to the Gameboy Advance, Riviera: The Promised Land is heading its smashing point-and-click adventure over to the PSP. It’s coming so soon, in fact, that it will already be released in Japan by November 22. As for a US release, no word yet. But! We got more info for you guys…
While ports have a trend of “staying the same + extras,” this game actually has a lot to boast about on the PSP. Riviera: The Promised Land will include 50 new CG sequences, better graphics, and a full cast for the voices. It’s going to be a treat for both old and new fans of the game.
For those not familiar with the game, some story elements are similar to that of Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth – which also happens to be a port. The plot takes its roots on the Norse and Greek mythos, and twists it into a very unique RPG experience. It is this twist which pegged it high up the ladder of the GBA charts during the summer of 2005.
Now let’s all just hope that the game doesn’t just get ported to the PSP, but to the Western shores as well.
