Arcana Heart 3 is coming to North America!
Torrance, CA (Februrary 14th, 2010) – Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment products, is proud to announce that the fighting game Arcana Heart 3 will be coming to the PlayStation®Network this Spring. Arcana Heart 3 combines fast-paced aerial action with a unique cast for an extraordinary fighting experience never before seen in North America!
Chaos and disorder are threatening to rip apart the very fabric of Japanese society as planar rifts appear throughout the country. It is suspected that the Drexler Institute, the instigator of the Great War many years ago and creator of the Divine Celestial Weapon, is somehow involved.
In the midst of this confusion, a mysterious rumor arises, claiming the existence of wish-granting “Celestial Stones” within the chaotic planar rifts. As a result of these rumors, a number of individuals have converged on Japan in the hopes of obtaining one of these fabled stones – either to seal them away or to see for themselves if the rumor is true. Each person has their own reasons for seeking these rare and valuable stones, and they won’t let anyone stand in their way, be they foe…or friend.

All 23 unique characters and 23 unique Arcana are included in their complete form and playability.(there is none of that DLC character sold separately nonsense like what other full priced fighting games have been doing selling characters separately.)
And with 23 characters and 23 arcana, there are 529 fighting style combinations! Even the same characters with different Arcana both have different offensive and defensive possibilities that results in two different styles and different fighting strategies, as well as different possible combos!
Combine 23 unique characters with 23 unique arcana with the fact that each Character has their own special moves, super moves and signature ultimate attack (CRITICAL HEART), and each Arcana has their own special moves, super moves and flashy ultimate element attack (ARCANA BLAZE) along with the fighting system elements that makes this fighting system deeper and above what people have been used to before, and you will start to realize how valuable and incredible Arcana Heart 3 really is!
It's something all PS3 owners and fighting game fans should give a try and really enjoy one of the greatest fighting games of all time. And that's besides the fact that the art design and special effects are so beautiful and really sets it above others in presentation.
It's an extremely rare occurence that a masterpiece like this has been localized in North America at all and released exclusively on PSN for everyone to be able to easily find and obtain!
It contains a complete Story mode with fully Japanese voiced character dialogue and greater level of character interaction before and after each fight; more story involvement (than other fighting games that just tag an intro and ending to their "story") and more choices in how to progress in the story based on who you select as your next opponent.
Also the character relationships are done so well that it's interesting to see how each character interacts and reacts to each person they meet. There is more care and attention to the character driven story, with good pacing (the conversation cutscenes avoid being too long. And the characters with little to no relationship with someone still have something to say. All characters have at least 1 or 2 people they have a strong bond with in their story.)
Training mode (standard)
Score Attack (which includes the legendary tough final boss from Arcana Heart 2, Parace.)
Network/Online mode, supporting group lobbies, voice chat, and quality netcode that's as good, if not better than Blazblue, And advanced features, including customizable lobby IDs with selectable image!
Gallery mode containing unlockable high quality art!
Also there is a replay option, 16:9 and 4:3 display options, different border options (you don't have to use borders), and more!
