"We Came, We Saw!"

No conquering here. Just coming and sawing. "We came, we saw" is the tagline for the new PSP game called Patchwork Heroes. I've been playing the demo almost nonstop when it came out about two weeks ago. There are only 3 levels in the demo, but I enjoyed it so much that I can't stop playing the same 3 levels over and over.

So what the heck is Patchwork Heroes and why did I keep playing it even though my thumb was really sore? It's just really fun! Basically you're an expert with a saw and a flying machine and your town is being invaded by giant airships from an unknown country. Let me explain with pictures since I took photos of my PSP already...

And that's the basis of this game. This is originally called One Million Ton Bara Bara in Japan, which means One Million Tons of Broken Pieces. Perfect title for destroying airships right? But I guess Sony didn't think the title works here. I dunno...

These are your controls. Very very simple. And the video below shows some of the gameplay.

And this here is your main guy, Titori. He's the one who I quoted from. You'll have 2 comrades along with Titori who serves as your "life bar". You get hit by an enemy unit and you'll lose a comrade, until the last person, Titori. Of course around the map/airship are prisoners that you can free and add to your comrades-in-arms.

This is the first airship in the demo. The big word balloon is you and the 3 smaller balloons are comrades you can rescue.

After you destroy the airship, you get screwed... Err... I mean, you get screws. The more screwed... screws you get, the higher rank you'll be in.

The full game, which actually came out today and I didn't know about it but I already finished downloading it, has some weird features... Like visiting your fallen comrades' gravestones... Morbid and creepy. But I'm just here to destroy gigantic airships. It's just so fun. I feel like I've played something like this, but I can't seem to pinpoint what it is. It's kinda like Katamari Damashii... but the opposite.

Look for more information, interviews and images from the PlayStation Network Blog. The game is available for download only through the PlayStation Network for $9.99. Now pardon me while I go make my thumb sore again... and again...

Just don't destroy this airship...

Err... Uhh... I'm not sure how this picture got here... I was just playing Patchwork Heroes... Not watching anything else... Really...
