Ghostlight have today announced that Agarest: Generations of War Zero, the prequel to Compile Heart & Idea Factory’s best selling JRPG Agarest: Generations of War will be released on the 17th April priced at just $19.99. In addition, Ghostlight have also stated that pre-orders for the game will go live on Steam later today.
According to Ghostlight, anyone who pre-orders Agarest: Generations of War Zero will receive a 20% discount, dropping the price to a bargain $15.99.
Like its predecessor, Agarest: Generations of War Zero brings its mixture of in depth strategy and epic multi generational storytelling from console to PC.
Those who enjoyed the first game in the series will be pleased to know that some great new features have been added to Agarest Zero.
The new Vacation Days allow you to get to know your party members better and unlock bonus items and locations by visiting various places in the towns. Not only that but as you build your relationship with the rest of your party you will unlock new costumes for them to wear.
In addition some of you may have noticed that the original conversations in Agarest: Generations of War were a little static. Not any more as the Motion Portrait system brings them to life with subtle animations which really help to immerse you in the games world.
With various other changes such as improved graphics and a brand new card system to allow you to customise your starting character this is an upgrade you won’t want to miss.
With so many improvements Laughing Jackal couldn’t help themselves and also brought new PC improvements such as cloud saving (which has also been added to Agarest very recently), the ability to decide which direction you wish the controls to be offset in and a big request that we met was a revamping of the DLC menu. Agarest: Generations of War Zero now gives you more control over how the DLC is managed. You can now pick and choose how it is added to your existing saves.
