Full Press Release:

Irvine, Calif. — Oct. 14, 2014 — It’s time to take the fight to the Divine Empire as Tears to Tiara II: Heir of the Overlord, the strategy RPG for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system is now available in the Americas for $39.99. Despite having a “II” in the title, the game requires no knowledge of the previous title, as the story and gameplay are all self-contained within the 80-plus hours of strategic combat and visual novel-style storytelling in the original Japanese audio.

 

Tears to Tiara II follows Hamilcar Barca, a young man eking his way through life indentured to the Divine Empire. But when the Empire burns an innocent girl at the stake, he unleashes a terrible secret–his unbridled rage and demonic might the berserker. With his newfound strength and at the insistence of a goddess, Hamilcar shoulders the burden of freeing his people from the tyranny of a corrupt Empire. On his journey to free himself and his enslaved people, he will fight alongside powerful allies, beasts, and even the gods themselves. However, he must control the demon within first, lest he himself turns the world to ash.

Tears to Tiara II features:

• More than 15 main characters to get to know as the story unfolds in the visual novel.
• Strategic turn-based gameplay will challenge the most battle-hardened generals
• The joint attack combat systems adds extra depth to the strategy gameplay, and makes for more replayability
• Original Japanese language story and battle audio at a discounted $39.99

Tears to Tiara II: Heir of the Overlord is now available in North and South America for $39.99.
