I bought Knights in the Nightmare two days ago and it came with all the extras. These were actually pre-order bonuses...or at least the Art Book was but luckliy my local gamestop had one left.
I actually think they said it was the only one they got......

Anyways I lucked out again and managed to get myself a copy of the awesome artbook and if anyone would like scans Id be more than happy to put some up. The Dept. Heaven series has the best art I have ever seen and couldnt be more happy to get the art book.

To anyone who wants the scans. Im doing them but since they still need cleaning up and its 100 pages it's gonna take a while. When Im done I'll upload a compressed folder for you all to download.

   There goes one just for show.

Great that game looks great, hope you enjoy it.

I'm still thinking about ordering it from Amazon. They're still offering the bonuses. I just have a backlog of DS RPGs to catch up on already.

How's the ame, though? what the hell is it even about?

-_-

Its a mixture of SRPG and SHMUP. Yup thats right....SHMUP. Your character IS the Stylus....or the Wisp. Yup again you read that right. My game is still sealed since I wanna beat Yggdra Union first so I cant really tell you much. Its different though thats for sure. Its Dept. Heaven dude. Niche as fuck and never traditional. I have to get a copy of Riviera later to get the collection released so far. Skeezer sent me a copy of Yggdra Union after he lost the bet. =P

SRPG+SHMUP?

XD

I gotta see that!

Riviera was awesome. I rented it from Gamefly (good luck finding one new) but I should have just bought from them. Never got around to play Yggdra Union though.

I was able to get a new copy of Yggdra Union for $21
I need to hunt down Riveria and Fire Emblem. I played Yggdra Union and Fire Emblem on ROMs now I have a DSLite so gotta get them again.

I fucking love this game. It's a must get for anyone interested in turn based strategy games, and simply weird shit.

Here's how the gameplay goes.

You control with the stylus a gust of wind called the wisp. The wisp controls an on screen menu system, including weapons, etc. You use a single soldier to fight for you on a grid based map, full of items to collect and enemies to kill. Each mission gives you a certain amount of turns to complete the mission. Let's say you get 6 turns.

You first get on a mission preparedness screen where you set up which weapons you're taking into battle and which soldier you'll be using. Once in battle, enemies walk a predetermined path back and forth throughout a grid-like map. Your soldier does not move, he can only attack. You control the Wisp(gust of wind) with the stylus. You select a weapon from the icons on the screen and drag it to your soldier. You put the stylus on the soldier and drag the stylus in a direction to attack in that direction.

As you are doing this, two things happen.

1. Enemies will attack you, as the Wisp, not your soldier. They will let loose various shapes that you must avoid, similiar to weaving in a SHMUP game like Ikaruga.

2. A timer goes down on each turn and your turn ends when it hits zero. Getting hit, using weapons, attacking, all drain the clock at different speeds.

At the end of each turn, all enemies you kill will be replaced on the next turn by enemies you select slot machine style.If you don't kill enough enemies by the end of all of your turns, you lose the mission.

There's too much more to explain, but no this is not all. There are also two phases you must change during the game that enhance some weapons and diminish others, there are gems to collect as the Wisp after you attack enemies, which are used for magic powers, and so much more to the game.

It could very well be one of the most complicated games ever created. The tutorial itself takes well over a half hour to complete, and even that doesn't tell you everything.
