Tri-Ace announced today the release date of the much awaited free-to-play JRPG, Judas Code, for the PS Vita.
PS Vita owners in Japan can play the much awaited Judas Code this August 21st. Unfortunately, Judas Code is currently exclusive to Japan with no word whatsoever if it will make it here in the United States.
Judas Code is set in 20xx and begins when a mysterious pillar from space collides with Earth during World War III. People have called it “Tree of Calamity”. Since then, it devastates the civilization and continues to erode the planet. From Longinus, “Branches of Calamity” began to separate, protruding as spears from the ground. With the world in peril, three powers have arisen-the Ruaju Republic, GAS, and the Balga Commonwealth- and now the new mankind called Regenerators.
According to Tri-Ace, Judas Code is part gun action and part card battle. In the game’s “Story Mode”, players can repeat missions to train their characters and cards, as well as enjoy the game’s world and scenario. In “Grand Card Battle Mode,” players can compete and cooperate in an eight-versus-eight card battles. While in gun parts, players will take cover behind obstacles and attack with guns and grenades. Currently, there are over 70 types of basic weapons, including assault rifles, sub machine guns, handguns, and rocket launchers, as well as over 30 types of skills, including grenades and aerial bombing.
