JAST USA and developer Ninetail just announced the English Localization Project Kickstarter of VenusBlood HOLLOW International. The Kickstarter was just launched on September 8th, 2020, has a pledge goal of $124,240, and will run for 30 days.
VenusBlood HOLLOW (Originally VenusBlood HYPNO) is a turn-based strategy role-playing adventure game from the creators of VenusBlood Frontier International, that also had a successful Kickstarter campaign. It’s essentially a Visual Novel with SRPG elements in it, created by the Japanese studios Dualtail and Ninetail.
Leonhardt is tasked with taking over the three surrounding nations for the sake of his master, the Empress of the largest nation on Helvetia, the Varganian Empire. However, underneath his subservient facade, he resents the empress who placed shackles upon him and seeks retribution for the humiliation of forced servitude, seeking to destroy the empire that she rules and take over as the leader of a new nation.
In a twist of fate, he crosses path with a certain girl known as Sylvia. Known at the White Princess of the Empire, despite being the younger sister of the Empress Karvia, she is a kindhearted soul who is well-loved by the citizens of the empire. Sylvia sees the tyranny of her elder sister and the suffering of the citizens and wishes to put an end to all the corruption as well as change things for the better.
He, who wishes for the destruction of the empire so that he may rule in its place… And she, who wishes for revolution, as well as peace and stability for the world… What awaits them at the end of their journey…? Step into the shoes of the empire’s veteran warrior, Leonhardt Arknoah, as he fights for freedom from the shackles of servitude. Aided by his loving cousin Anora, adorable subordinate Noel, and the Demon Empress’ younger sister Sylvia, he steps forth into battle…
Fighting for freedom… As well as for revenge.
