We have to give much love to Atlus for their continued support of PSP. The upcoming platformer Hammerin' Hero
is unlikely to light up the sales charts, but bless Atlus for trying. A
recent e-mail highlights many of the stages to be found in the upcoming
adventure. We're personally enamored with the quaint Japanese stylings
of the game. Perhaps you will too after taking a look:
Beranme Town: You may feel at home pacing through
this small village, what with the construction going on in the
background (you do wield a hammer), but it's certainly feeling less and
less like home for the hapless citizens of this small town. Hyosuke
Kuromoku and his henchmen seem to have some schemes in play, and only
you and your hammer can pummel them into submission.
Busy Crosswalk:
These city streets are bustling with hurried pedestrians, cars stuck in
traffic, and gigantic machines of destruction and doom. Wait, what?
Look both ways before crossing the street... There might just be big
trouble waiting for you on the other side...
Manly Amusement Park:
Bright, cheery, and overrun with vile henchmen, the amusement park is
supposed to be a fun place for families to spend time, but not when
it's overrun by bad guys. Under such conditions, it's safe to say that
the merry-go-round is going to be far less merry.
Oishii Restaurant District:
Hungry? Care for a bite to eat? Well, before you stop for a snack,
you're going to have to give the baddies who've overrun the local
eateries and restaurants a little side of honey-baked HAMMER! How sweet
it is!
Turukame TV Studio:
Lights, camera, action, more action, even more action... Hey, wait you
just broke the lights and the camera! How can your townspeople enjoy
some fine television programming if there are henchmen marauding
through the sets?
Under Fukie Bay:
Anchors away! No, literally, swimming through the ocean, the best
weapon against your enemies is actually an anchor. Hey, why not? It's
metal, pointy, and hurts like the dickens. Just look out for sharks
being ridden by henchmen on saddles.
Grand Slam Stadium:
Batter up! Bad guys down! How dare they invade a baseball game? Don't
they know it's everyone's favorite pastime? What nerve! When you're
talking about taking blows to the head by way of baseball bat, it's one
strike and they're out!
Seashell Seashore:
My, look at all those happy people, what with their volleyball,
surfing, sunbathing and the like. Too bad you're going to have to race
through all the festivities on your mission to beat up a whole lot of
bad folk. Looks like they'll have to watch out for sunburn and you!
