(Mastiff LLC, San Francisco) The award winning tactical role-playing game La Pucelle: Tactics comes to North America on the PlayStation(R)2, courtesy of Mastiff LLC.

La Pucelle: Tactics is the tactical RPG from Nippon Ichi, creators of Disgaea. La Pucelle: Tactics is a tale of betrayal and double cross, monsters in human form and humans in monster form, set in an alternate medieval Europe. The unlikely hero is a smart mouthed and undisciplined sixteen year old who just passed her exorcism exams and her comrades in La Pucelle, a demon hunting squad.

"Sometimes cute and light, sometimes dark but always intense, La Pucelle: Tactics will be the must-play tactical RPG of 2004 and we're delighted to be able to work with Mastiff on it" says Sohei Niikawa, Managing Director of Nippon Ichi Inc. Mika Hayashi, Mastiff's Big Woof, Japan, and producer for La Pucelle: Tactics adds: "Instant, continuous level-ups, items you can combine and enemies willing to come to your side, together with a heavily tactical battle system and heartrending story make this a great game."
