MASSIVE WARS, BOUNTIFUL
WOMEN, AND A CORNUCOPIA OF DEBAUCHERY, NOW ON
TWO CONSOLES!
Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive
entertainment products, announces its first epic
SRPG, with Record of Agarest War for the Xbox
360 to coincide with the previously announced
PlayStation Network version. In this game
developed by Compiled Heart, RED Entertainment,
and Idea Factory, SRPG fanatics will finally be
able to play a game worthy of the genre.
Sporting over one hundred hours of gameplay,
Record of Agarest War invites players into a
gorgeous, expansive world of hope and despair.
Players will wage war against the evil forces of
darkness, take a bride—actually, several brides—
and extend their lineage across five
generations!
“In truth, we had Record of Agarest War ready to
go up on the PlayStation Network months ago,”
[Ed.’s note: That’s a lie.] says Ben Bateman,
Editor, Aksys Games, “But when a haggard man
emerged from a ball of crackling energy that
materialized outside our office with dire
warnings from a dark future, we decided to
reconsider. As it turns out, a PlayStation
Network-exclusive release of Agarest was—or
rather, would have been—the catalyst for World
War III. The gaming community was torn
apart—literally—by this apparent favoritism, and
from that schism poured the infinite minions of
Satan himself, the Lord of Lies. The man told
us, his eyes blank with the 1000-yard stare, of
the horrors of this future war. He had been sent
back in time, the last hope of a desperate human
resistance, to prevent what the people of this
desolate future Earth called, simply, ‘The
Breaking.’ As the last spark of life passed from
his body, broken and battered by his journey
through the time vortex, we swore to honor his
final wish.”
“This is why Record of Agarest War has been
delayed,” Ben continues, his eyes wet with
tears, “So that we may release it on both
consoles, and in doing so, save the world.”
Record of Agarest War Prologue
War darkened the skies of Agarest. Not a simple
war between mortals, easily ended by divine
intervention, but a war that split the gods
themselves. Armies such as the world had never
seen before, and would never see again, clashed
in the skies of Agarest, across its surface, and
even in the caverns that wound their way through
its interior.
As is the way in war, many died on both sides,
gods and mortals alike, and the war left Agarest
broken, blackened, and dead. The gods wept for
their paradise, and in a final act of creation,
sacrificed themselves to bring life back to its
charred and twisted surface.
Although the gods are long dead, the withering
darkness that began and fueled their war is not.
Imprisoned for millennia, its bonds have begun
to weaken, and as they do, a shadow once again
spreads across the surface of the world.
Born into this world perched unknowingly on the
brink of the apocalypse, a young man by the name
of Leonhardt and his descendants are the last,
best hope for Agarest. Their journey will span
generations and continents as they strive to
once again bring peace to their beleaguered
world, even as the cost of their own souls.
