20 long years of history
Believe it or not, this series has been around for twenty years, which is insane because many haven't even heard about it! Culdcept avoided North American shores for its first few years of existence on the SEGA Saturn, and it first landed in North America during the PlayStation 2 days. What we know as Culdcept is actually Culdcept Second in Japan, a Dreamcast game that was forced onto the PlayStation 2 in North America.
Surprisingly, it caught many in the unsuspecting video game world off guard, and it gathered a fairly loyal following from those who tried it. The game is a pure time sink, and it became a small sensation when it came out in 2003. With the portable powers of the Nintendo 3DS, it will feel far more at home with the easier option to play with friends.
Culdcept Revolt will launch for the Nintendo 3DS on Aug. 29. If you want to see the PlayStation 2 game in action, check it out below. Trust me, that soundtrack is sweet, mostly because the tunes were written by Kenji Ito. Fans of SaGa Frontier and his other Square Enix games will pick up on that immediately.
