Samurai & Dragons

SEGA’s latest teaser ends up being more Samurai & Dragons

by

We posted a few days ago that SEGA was teasing something for the Playstation Vita. We didn’t know much outside of the platform (due to HTML code) and the phrase ‘The New Story will Begin‘. Guess what the new game was? It was a teaser for the fifth season of Samurai & Dragons and we have the trailer above.

If you have played Kingdom Conquest, that is pretty much what Samurai & Dragons is for the Playstation Vita. It seems that SEGA is trying to enter this whole free-to-play market. SEGA is set to start the new Samurai & Dragons on November 1st.

Samurai & Dragons & SEGA All-Stars, oh my!

by

Samurai & Dragons, the Japanese version of Kingdom Conquest released to the Playstation Vita, just got SEGA-fied. Well, that is to say it will soon be SEGA-fied and by “SEGA-fied” we mean they’re adding a slew of SEGA cameos. A Deluxe Package is set to release on November 29, and it will include rare Bayonetta, Sonic, Kazuma, and Akira cards plus in-game money. Also later this year, Samurai & Dragons will get cards from the popular SEGA card arcade game Sangokushi Taisen and a Hatsune Miku card that can be bought with in-game currency. Perhaps most exciting is that SEGA hired Hatsune Miku illustrator KEI to turn their consoles into characters. Players will be able to play the game with girl versions of the SG-1000, SC-3000, SG-1000II, Sega Mark II, Master System, Mega Drive, Game Gear, Mega CD, Mega Drive MK II, Mega CD 2, Saturn, 32X, and the Dreamcast.

After the break, a full list of SEGA character cameos as well as more images of the incoming cards and console cuties.

Samurai & Dragons is probably one of Vita’s best free games

by

There was some confusion when Samurai & Dragons was first revealed, hype was built up thanks to the fact that none other than Jet Set Radio’s director Masayoshi Kikuchi was announced to be working on a Vita game. Soon after however hype died down when the graphics left much to be desired. Somewhere lost in translation was that Samurai & Dragons will be free to download off PSN (With a boxed version being released with extra items) and when you take that into account, the title is looking like it could be an enjoyable ride.

Inspired from SEGA’s iOS title Kingdom Conquest, Samurai & Dragons promises to have a multiplayer aspect that would no doubt entice people who are looking for a free co-op game. The title is releasing in retail on 29th March for Japan and 26th April for Japanese PSN. A Western release date is yet to be confirmed.

This is how Samurai & Dragons plays on Vita

by

Above is Japanese footage for the Playstation Vita title called Samurai & Dragons. Taking up development for the title is Masayoshi Kikuchi, one of the masterminds behind the Yakuza franchise. Game mixes Western and Japanese by allowing you to be a knight, samurai or many of the other playable classes.

The game mixes RTS and dungeon crawling. Basically to get resources a user goes into a dungeon crawling level then build up their empire via the RTS sections. Yeah, reminds me a lot of the free game they launched on the iPhone last year called Kingdom Conquest.  No news if the game is coming West.

by

SEGA has just released the first trailer for their up and coming Playstation Vita exclusive, Samurai & Dragons which is being produced by famed SEGA developer Masayoshi Kikuchi. The trailer features the 4 play co-op that will be half the title, as players will go through various dungeons and fight minotaurs, the undead and as you may have guessed, dragons. The other half of the title will be the town building aspect, which you will be able to expand after hunting for resources in the dungeons in the world and by beating bosses. So far there is no release date announced for Western audience or in the game’s native Japan.
