Brave Story: New Traveler is a brand new RPG from developer Game Republic (Genji: Day of the Blade on PS3) and publisher XSeed Games (Valhalla Knights [PSP], Wild Arms 4 [PS2]) for Sony’s Playstation Portable handheld.
The game’s storyline is about “a life-changing adventure and the discovery of a hero inside an ordinary kid” and sees the protagonist traveling to a strange world called Vision when a female friend of his collapses and a voice beckons him. In this world he becomes a novice “Traveler” on an adventure to meet with the Goddess of Fortune to have a single wish granted.
Game features include:
- Based on GONZO Digimation’s animated movie “Brave Story”.
- A role-playing game with an epic tale, introducing unique characters with distinct personalities and leading the player through the imaginative world of Vision.
