“Queen’s Blade: Spiral Chaos” for the Sony PSP is a game that blends tactical RPG elements with fan service, catering to a specific audience. Developed by Banpresto and published by Bandai Namco Games, it was released exclusively in Japan in 2009, with a fan translation appearing in 2015.
The game is based on the “Queen’s Blade” anime series, which in turn is derived from an art/gamebook series. It assumes players are familiar with the source material, as it doesn’t provide much background on the characters or the world. The premise revolves around a group of female warriors battling in a combat tournament, with plenty of ecchi (suggestive) fan service during battles.
As a strategy RPG, “Queen’s Blade: Spiral Chaos” is straightforward, lacking complexities like terrain effects or unit placement strategies. It does feature equipment slots for protective gear, consumable items, and gems that enhance abilities. The combat system is basic but includes a unique aspect where the female warriors’ armor is destructible, leading to bonus attacks and ecchi images when armor pieces break.
However, the game’s combat can become tedious due to long multi-hit combo animations and repetitive ecchi shots, which may lead players to skip animations to expedite battles. Despite this, the game’s animations and special effects are well-executed.
In summary, “Queen’s Blade: Spiral Chaos” offers a simple SRPG experience with a heavy focus on fan service. It’s a game that knows its target audience and provides an experience tailored to fans of the anime and gamebook series. While it may not offer deep strategic gameplay, it remains a unique title within the PSP library for those interested in the genre and source material.
