Bandai Namco announced A.W. Phoenix Festa, a combat meets dating sim video game based on the popular Japanese novel – The Asterisk War: The Academy City.
Students from six academies are pitted in tournaments called “Festas.” Featuring an original storyline from the series, fans have the opportunity to explore numerous endings and ultimately find true love. You can either start off as the main character Ayato, or an original character and go about daily school life making friends and competing in the “Phoenix Festa” tournament. Players can build relationships with their favorite characters influenced through battles and conversations with NPCs.
“A.W. : Phoenix Festa is poised to bring the unique action and story of the popular Japanese light novel The Asterisk War to life on the PlayStation Vita,” said Eric Hartness, Vice President of Marketing at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. “A.W. : Phoenix Festa blends two very different genres; dating sim and action, into a very unique experience for anime fans and PlayStation Vita owners to enjoy.”
A.W. Phoenix Festa releases July 26, 2016 for the Playstation Vita as a digital download via the Playstation Network.
