Gungnir announced for US release!!

[A Black Falcon]

Gungnir is the fourth major Dept. Heaven title from Sting, in its loose "series" of titles. The first three -- Riviera, Yggdra Union, and Knights in the Nightmare -- are all interesting, and mostly great (I have issues with Yggdra, but absolutely love the other two) games, and I've been a series fan ever since I first played Riviera, so this is just great news. Gungnir is a PSP only game, so far, so I was really thinking that we'd never see it. Well... we will. Now I've got another reason to be happy I got that PSP, for sure.

I've heard that Gungnir isn't as complex as some of Sting's other strategy games (Riviera is an RPG, but the other titles are strategy games), but hopefully it's as great as the better ones.

I am still unhappy that Yggdra's three spinoff games -- two on PSP, one on DS -- all are Japan-only titles, probably forever (sure, they're spinoffs of the weakest of the three games, but still, they look like they could be pretty good...), but this is fantastic, fantastic news. I'll be getting this for sure.
