Black Rock Shooter started off as a single illustration… but look at all it has become now!

This was when I was interviewing huke in Akiba…!

I can’t believe it’s already been 2 years since that! I’m sure you’ve heard, there is currently a Black Rock Shooter game in development…<

But that’s not all!

Today I’ll be taking a look at the most recent developments to the BRS world!


★ Puchitto Rock Shooter
 This is a NicoNico App, which is basically a browser-based game!

I’ve been interested in this ever since Mikage-shachou announced this at the JRPG Action Meeting!!

001

This is the title screen!

You might very well recognize the designs, as they are done by CHANxCO – also known for her Nendoroid expressions! It’s going to be great fun to have such cute designs in a game!


017

You can find the application by using this button on NicoNico!

You can also find it directly on the NicoNico app page: http://app.nicovideo.jp/


003

But what kind of game is it?

You are a bounty hunter that wanders the universe in search of rare bounties. Having heard of the rumor of the ‘Great Purattorian, who will grant all the wishes of the one bound to her, you find yourself traveling to Planet Puratto and starting a new adventure in search of such wonders. The rarest of resources on Planet Puratto are in fact the people of the planet – the Purattorians… so as you collect more of them you will receive rare and powerful items. You can also trade or steal the Purattorians from other players, allowing you to get hold of them much faster.

Ah, I see!! So that thing above is a Purattorian! I need to catch him!


002

As I catch more of them I get items like these!

You get a whole bunch of cute cosplay items to dress up in as well! ^^


006

Who is this!?

A character made by another player…? Can I become friends…? You can also trade Purattorians (or steal them) from other players to collect them faster!!


004

There are baddies as well?!

Oooh! How will the battle turn out!?


005

Darn… I lost… :(

W-Who is this sexy lady!!?

Apparently this is the Great Purattorian that will grant all the wishes of the one that is bound to her! Now I just need to find out what the heck it means to be bound to her!

But you’ll have to find that out for yourself…

Puratto Rock Shooter

Rock-chan looks so cute when she’s scared!!

You might think so, but that’s really not the case! GSC was only involved in the final confirmation of the products so we had no real say on the release dates… it really was pure coincidence!

A PSP game, a browser game, a manga adaption…. Black Rock Shooter continues to expand more and more! (・∀・)ノ
 
 
I can’t wait to see what is coming up next!
 
 
But… that’s all for today!
I hope to see you all again tomorrow! (・∀・)ノ゛
