Arms’ Heart TGS hands-on impression

By Janelle | September 21, 2010 at 11:27 am

Developed by Hamster and shown at the Konami booth, Arms’ Heart was touted as a “Dark Steampunk RPG.” While the demo showed that Arms’ Heart is at least one of those things, it only offered a clear picture of the game’s battle system.
