Conception II puts players in the role of "God's Gift," a teenager imbued with the power of the Star God. His unprecedented levels of power allow him to fight against the monsters within the Dusk Circles, and cripple the flow of evil into the world. But the role of a hero is a complex one, and players must maintain relationships with any of the game's seven heroines to increase their relationship bonds, which in turn help them create Star Children, pint-sized warriors that pack a big punch to Dusk monsters. Players will have to choose wisely, as up to nine Star Children can fight in the labyrinth at once, where elemental damage, battlefield positioning, and team composition must be constantly evaluated.
The ATLUS tradition of offering collectors' items with pre-orders and limited first-run availability continues with the wildly unique RPG Conception II. For either the Nintendo 3DS™ or PlayStation®Vita version, physical copies of Conception II will come in a special box and include a 10-track CD arrangement, composed by Masato Kouda. The box and CD are guaranteed to pre-orders from participating retailers and for a limited time after the game's launch. Conception II will be published in North America by ATLUS beginning in spring 2014 for the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS. The game will be $39.99 for either version. More details will be on the game's official website at atlus.com/conception2.
