![]() If anything, Demon Gaze promises to be an engaging, action-oriented RPG that found a bit of popularity in Japan when it launched there last year. Like the recent Vita release Ys: Memories of Celceta, Demon Gaze is all about getting Oz his memories back as he survives the terror surrounding him. One day, Oz wakes up from a deep slumber in an unknown, dangerous land known as Misred. Demon Gaze is a dungeon-crawling RPG starring a character known only as Oz. NIS’ American branch regularly releases PlayStation-exclusive RPGs that very much cater to a niche audience, and with Demon Gaze from Kadokawa Games, NIS strives to continue the trend unabated. Another company that clearly loves Vita is NIS, or Nippon Ichi Software. We earlier noted that Atlus loves the PlayStation Vita. So consider CounterSpy’s inclusion on this list a hope that the game lives up to what it’s capable of. While it definitely invokes a sort of Metroidvania feel, it’s really its own game, one rooted in the espionage and intrigue of the Cold War, when it seemed like we were just a moment away from nuclear destruction every day of the week. CounterSpy, at its core, is a side-scrolling spy-action game that’s as much about exploration as it is about combat. And that’s good news, because CounterSpy is an incredibly promising project. So why is it on this list? That’s easy: CounterSpy was supposed to come out in 2013, and it’s gone off the radar to be fixed-up and bettered for its release. When I finally went hands-on with it months later at Gamescom, I understood why I wasn’t allowed to touch it. ![]() Once, I saw it at E3, and was only allowed to look, and not actually play myself. ![]() Strange, yes… but a turn-based RPG, too! Please be excited. The entire plot revolves around a location known as Pandora Labyrinth, where the main character – the Disciple – can… uh… mate with powerful goddesses to create Star Children that can be utilized in the heat of battle. Play Conception II is decidedly bizarre, a direct sequel to a game we’re unlikely to ever get in the west, Conception: Ore no Kodomo o Undekure!.
