Aksys announced today that it is bringing Guilty Gear 2: Overture stateside. In case you missed our short preview of the game back when it was first announced for the Japanese market, Overture takes the series in a radically different direction with tactical action gameplay ala Koei's Dynasty Warriors series.[blockquote2]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.[/blockquote2]According to Aksys, the US version will include new items, skills, tweaks, and additional modes not found in the original Japanese release.
