Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment Announced and Screens

Konami also announced that Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment, the first next-generation installment for the classic tactical RPG series, will be available via Xbox Live and PlayStation Network in August and September 2009 respectively. On the continent of Sostegaria, two rival kingdoms stand on the brink of war. Caught in the tide of battle is young orphan Tobias Martin. Driven to defend his homeland, and to avenge those already fallen, Tobias enlists with his comrades to fight for peace. But all is not what it seems, and they face a threat far deadlier - and closer - than they know. As the massive battle unfolds across expansive environments, players will experience party members adapting to their style of gameplay broadened by a deep range of character customization options. The first two screenshots have been inserted in our gallery.
