Yggdra Union - New Import, In Stock

Originally released on the Gameboy Advance in 2006, Sting ports their strategy-adventure game to the Playstation Portable. Updates include new scenarios, new characters, and newly recorded vocal snippets to enhance the battlefield drama.

Castle Paltina has fallen, the King has died, and Princess Yggdra runs away to fight another day. Yggdra Union starts off with a tutorial which introduces players to the background of the game and teaches warriors on the ways of proper battlefield manners. Take on the role of a stray thief named Milanor who meets up with Princess Yggdra as she mounts concerted attacks to eventually retake her castle from the invading army. Since Yggdra wields the golden Gran Centurio sword, it shouldn't be much of a fight...

In the first mission, players activate five tactics cards and head for an overworld map where the party is represented by squat team members. Battles are called "Unions" in the game where the hero engages an enemy by pressing the "START" button and then selecting a target enemy such as the assassin, the bandits, and the Valkyries in the tutorial. When the battle begins, the party is seen rushing onto the battlefield from the left and hacking the enemy on the right with a pre-emptive attack. Once a few enemies are killed based on the strength of the initial attack, the remaining enemy force counterattacks and then both sides stand at odds...
