'Agarest: Generations of War 2' (ALL) Gets PC Date - Screens & Trailer

Agarest: Generations of War 2 introduces several new features to the series including a new faster paced active grid-based battle system and an all new Agarest Universe to explore.

Agarest: Generations of War 2 is set in a parallel world to the previous two Agarest titles and has a completely new multi generational story and universe to explore.  So while existing fans of the series will of course see some familiar features and faces popping up, newer players will not need to have played the previous games to understand and enjoy this instalment of the story.

One day, the world was enveloped by a mysterious blinding light causing terrible destruction.  The central continent, from where the light is believed to have originated, fell silent whilst demons began to spread throughout the world like a plague.

Sometime afterwards, a young man by the name of Weiss, suffering from amnesia, encounters the enigmatic Eva, from whom Weiss learns that he has committed the grievous sin of deicide.  In order to atone for his crime, he must become the "Vessel" in which the power of the divinity he slaughtered will be stored. For it will be that power which will be used to resurrect the one whose life he stole.

For those who betray the divine will pay for their sins in the space which separates salvation and damnation, as will their progeny…

This new version of Agarest 2 has full mouse/keyboard and gamepad support, Steam achievements, higher resolutions and a number of other user interface changes providing PC gamers with the best version of Agarest 2 to date.  Cloud Saves are also supported as are Steam trading cards, backgrounds and icons while a wealth of DLC is included in the game completely free of charge with other packs available to purchase separately following release.  Plus the new DLC system gives you control over how your downloaded content is managed, enabling the user to pick and choose how it is added to your existing saves.

Anyone who pre-orders the game will get DLC bundle 6 (contains 1st Extra Character, 2nd Extra Character, 4th Extra Character, 1st Extra Costumes & 2nd Extra Costumes) absolutely free allowing gamers to use Leonhardt, Valeria and Myu from the previous games and Extra Costumes for many of the games cast, which will save a further $7.99
