Tuesday 22-Dec-2009 2:49 AM 'Legends' coming to Sony's handheld Sony has given the first details and screens on a PSP of its card-trading game Eye Of Judgement due next year.
SCEA producer Kumi Yuasa explained, "Much like the earlier version we released on the PS3, The Eye Of Judgement Legends is a digital card-based game that lets you collect, trade and battle magical creatures on the move that combines card trading, magic and adventure with the freedom to play wherever players want."
Here's the official line:
The Eye Of Judgement Legends on the PSP packs a vast world of magic, mystery and battles into the palm of your hands. At its heart are more than 300 digital trading cards, over 30 of which are brand new to the franchise! What makes it even more portable is that the card collecting experience from the PS3 hit has been streamlined, no longer requiring the PlayStation Eye peripheral nor physical cards to be carried along with you.
The PSP version's digital cards can be earned by playing through the game, traded wirelessly from one PSP to another, won in battle with friends and enemies, and even bought from the PlayStation Store in future downloadable content releases. Each card features a monster, dragon, mage or mythical warrior with their own special skills ready to do battle against your opponent, and some cards are rare to come across.
However, players must carefully choose among the cards they have collected to compile their ultimate deck. The cards are not lifeless images - these creatures come to life on screen springing out of their card and into attack, battling real time as they hack, slash and cast spells on each other. Deploy the right creatures from your deck to defeat your opponent and secure victory!
There you go. The title will be available as a download only from the PlayStation Store in spring 2010. Here are the first screens.
