Looks really nice. looks like it as developped by the studio who brought Chain Dive few years ago for PS2.
But I don't think it will make it outside japanese PS Store.

what the

I want this! It's like an action game with an Ico-inspired art direction. Is there a demo at least? Time to make a Japanese account.

i've got a feeling this could become a sleeper hit... maybe even on a Demons Soul level

[OmniStalgic]

Not if it doesn't come out in the largest territory...

I have only played one level and honestly initial impressions are disappointing. When i say level its more like boss fight. There are no levels but just a bunch of bosses and after you defeat one you unlock a new power till you defeat them all and become strong enough to battle an entitiy called malicious. Combat is fluid but i didnt have any powers because i havent defeated any bosses yet so it was a bit of a slog and it got a bit repetitive spamming the light hit square button for like 20 minutes to take him down. Im not sure if it gets better now that ive unlocked the lance powers but ill post more on the combat when i get a bit further into the game. For now i would say hold off on a purchase but i might change my mind later after a few more hours with the game.

Malicious, a new, original action game for PS3 from Japanese studio Alvion, is coming to PSN July 24th. That’s in less than two weeks!

In Malicious, you’ll take control of a “Spirit Vessel” awakened by prophets to defeat Holders, evil giants bent on destroying The Kingdom. You’re armed with the Mantle of Cinders, a magical artifact that takes the form of weapons or a shield.

Rather than crawling through lengthy dungeons to find and defeat enemies, this game gives you the power to select whichever stage you want and jump directly into epic boss battles in whatever order you please. Upon defeating each boss, you’ll absorb its power to obtain new and unique abilities, so the choice is yours as to how you’ll progress. In the end, however, you have one goal — prepare to face the ultimate evil, Malicious!

Malicious will be available for $9.99 on the PlayStation Network starting July 24. We’ll be announcing more information in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
