Guilty Gear Goes Tactical

Aksys Games has announced Guilty Gear 2: Overture, a tactical action game exclusive to Xbox 360. It is set for release during Q3 2008.

Moving the series away from one-on-one fighting to tactical action sees the game featuring intense melee action, as well as refined skills, tweaks and other mechanics. It will let players have over fifty servants at the player’s disposal and multiplayer support through XBox Live for up to four players.

“Guilty Gear 2: Overture retains a lot of elements that the fighting games are known for, so it’s cool to see how familiar moves like the Gun Flame make the transition to 3D,” said Michael Manzanares, Project Lead, Aksys Games. “Except now though, you’re facing off against an entire army instead of just one character. You’ll lose (badly) if you think you’re a one-man army, so you definitely have to remember that you have your own army to command.”

More information and media on the game can be found on Aksys’ website.
