[PS Vita/3DS]Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars

[MOONPHASE]

Remember the Atlus teaser site with an ultrasound image of a baby? If you guessed it was for Conception II give yourself a high five! Atlus will localize Spike Chunsoft’s baby making role playing game and in the West it will be called Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars.

While the game is a sequel to a PSP RPG only released in Japan, Conception II is a standalone story. You are a Disciple with powers from a Star God to fight monsters inside Pandora Labyrinth. The problem is there are too many monsters spawning. Since a Disciple’s powers expire when you turn 19 you need to create new disciples, which means "making" star children. Wacky premise aside, Conception II has a neat combat system where enemies have directional weak spots and there are dating sim-lite mechanics where you can build your relationship with the girls by giving them presents.

Conception II will be released is spring 2014 for Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita. The game will be $39.99 on either platform.

Atlus have released new screenshots of Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars, the baby-making RPG for Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita, slated for release in spring 2014. The screenshots are from the 3DS version of the game, and are accompanied by descriptions of some of the game’s characters and features. Check them out below.

Protagonist:

This is the protagonist. He’s a “God’s Gift,” someone overflowing with the Star God’s power, and is the only chance humanity has at repelling the monsters emanating from the Pandora Labyrinth that threaten the world.

Fuuko and Chlotz:

Getting told you’re one of the chosen few on the first day of class sure beats getting detention on the first day of class. The new recruits who join you are Fuuko, one of the game’s seven heroines and the girl who makes the hero’s first Star Children, and the other is Chlotz, an awkwardly endearing best friend who suffers from chronic third-wheel syndrome.

Alec:

And because Conception II takes place in a school, there has to be a rival. Meet Alec, who was the top student before the “God’s Gift” showed up to the school. Pompous, arrogant, and from a family with a background of enormous wealth and untouchable influence, Alec is quick and eager to take over the number one rank in the school, even without the natural talent of a “God’s Gift.”

In Conception II, as you go about the game, you’ll encounter heroines that can accompany you into dungeons. Successful conversations with these characters will raise your “Bond Points,” which you’ll need to create Star Children. Since each girl has her own personality, you’ll need to watch what you say, lest you tick them off. Doing so will make you temporarily incapable of making Star Children with them.

The other reason you want to have successful conversations is that the higher your bond with a heroine, the stronger she’ll be during dungeon trips. Each heroine also has her individual strengths and weaknesses, too, though.

In addition to its regular release, Atlus will release Conception II in a collector’s edition as well. The collector’s edition will be available for both 3DS and Vita, and will come with a 10-track CD arrangement composed by Masato Kouda, packed inside a special box. The special edition will be available alongside the game’s first print run. It will cost $40.
