Dear Reader:
NIS America discusses the challenge of promoting Culdcept Revolt, reaction thus far
The following comes from an MCV interview with NIS America's senior associate producer Alan Costa...
"We've actually had a lot of support from Nintendo of Europe. They featured us in several different media outreaches, so that's always a really, really big boost when you have Nintendo itself saying 'Hey guys, check this game out.'
In terms of initial reaction, it's been good. The way we describe it is Magic: The Gathering meets Monopoly. Those are two things that people are very aware of, but it's just a matter of conveying how that actually works in a game. Monopoly isn’t particularly complex, but Magic is, so it's like, 'Okay, so how does that translate into gameplay?'
So we've done our best to create trailers that show that. It's one of those games that until you're actually playing it for yourself, it's very difficult to wrap your head around it. It's distilling what makes the game itself and then messaging that as strongly as we can."
