Tokitowa's Towa knows how to kick ass and take names

Imageepoch's upcoming HD animation PS3 RPG, Tokitowa, has me concerned for a lot of reasons. I think the idea behind the project is extremely cool; a game in which all the characters are hand animated. The problem I have is that I don't believe that Imageepoch has the money or the man power to make the concept work as a full game. If the last full trailer is any indication, it would appear as though I might be right. Unfortunately.

Still, a part of me has managed to maintain some sliver of optimism despite how janky Tokitowa is looking. This latest trailer focuses entirely on Toki's other half, the blonde haired ass-kicker known as Towa. Combat and movement still look weird, but I like how bright and colorful the art style is. 

Check out the video below and tell me what you think folks.

Shaft's Fate/Extra CCC opening is very Shaft-like

Despite my feelings toward Imageepoch, I'm actually reasonably excited for their upcoming PSP game, Fate/Extra CCC. The first title was a solid dungeon crawl with a fantastic story, so I'm looking forward to jumping back int...

Import Review: Tokitowa

As much as I dislike Japanese game developer Imageepoch, I respect the fact that they just don't seem to give up despite how below average their games tend to be. Their track record in the States has been decent; Fate/Extra a...

Sol Trigger's 5 minute OP movie brings the drama

This is your last chance, Imageepoch. I've given you all the opportunities in the world to impress me with a truly great game, and you've missed the mark every single time. Sol Trigger is your last game for the PSP and report...

Huzzah?! Tokitowa on its way to an English release

By this point I'm sure you all know how I feel about Imageepoch's upcoming HD 2D animation RPG, Tokitowa. In screens it looks fantastic, but in motion I'm left wanting. It certainly doesn't help that the in-game character des...
