Square Enix has announced a new release for Bravely Default in this week’s Jump, subtitled “For the Sequel”. This is the full version of the game that adds new elements.
The number of save slots has increased to three and there are now difficulty settings. The controls have been revamped to allow gamers to play more comfortably, there are a few new story aspects, and there is also automatic battle mode to decrease the time it takes to engage with enemies. Save data can be used from the previous version.
Bravely Default: For the Sequel is hitting Japan on December 5. Pricing is set at 4,990 yen at retail and 2,900 yen as an expansion download.
Big John Games, developer of the 3DS eShop releases Coaster Creator 3D, Big Bass Arcade No Limit, and Smash Bowling 3D, is working on another title for Nintendo’s digital store. The studio has shared details with us regarding its latest project, “Ohno Odyssey”.
Ohno Odyssey is a new action-puzzle game inspired by The Incredible Machine. Players guide round alien characters through a number of 2D levels made up of rails. They’ll need to place objects including mud, crates, magnets and fans to keep the character rolling in the right direction and ultimately reach the goal. It won’t be easy, as players will also have to jump over obstacles as well as other power-up enhanced interactivity.
The story is simple enough. The Ohnos aliens race are relaxing in space when, one day, an accident occurs. All of the aliens quickly leave except for the head engineer.
The aliens eventually wind up on Earth, but send distress beacons after realizing they can’t get home. In addition to fixing a ship, the engineer will need to work his way through mountain levels, jungle, and cities to rescue his friends.
And here’s a little tidbit for you: “Oh no” is a common phrase the aliens often use due to their clumsiness.
Players will be able to tackle around 35 different levels in Ohno Odyssey. The game’s story mode is where players will be tasked with collecting all of the Ohnos.
Ohno Odyssey will be out this fall. You can find some storyboard art above.
