After making friends with some robots and defeating a giant robot, he returns to his home alone and learns that he’s some sort of genius adventurer, making cool gadgets and going on wild adventures. The story starts with Leo, who wakes up in the Machine realm having lost his memory.

The trailer shows off a timing-based Psycho Sigil mechanic before attacks that isn’t far off from the Judgement Ring in Covenant. The Kickstarter also revealed that they “pitched multiple publishers” but none of them would fund the games without proof of concepts.Īs shown in the gameplay trailer and the Kickstarter info for Penny Blood, the game stars private detective Matthew Farrell in the 1920s as he attempts to unravel a cosmic horror using his hidden fusion powers. As humorously explained by Shadow Hearts: Covenant director Machida Matsuzo in the announcement trailer posted above, he notes that this Double Kickstarter is due to concerns that “JRPGs have been on the decline lately” and that “it’s been years since the JRPG boom.” I would point out that both the Persona and Tales series have carried on the tradition of classic JRPGs quite well, but it’s been well over a decade since Shadow Hearts: Covenant and Wild Arms XF were released.
