My first impression of this game is “This looks exactly like the mosou series!?” I just wrote a review on PS VITA Shin Gundam Musou and the same feeling strikes me once again when I take a look at this game. Seriously?! Another hack and slash with tons of enemies standing and waiting for player to attack? I suppose this is another game created just for the fans of Gintama Rumble. This is actually a popular manga in Japan which focus more on humor, jokes and laughter. Although there is some fighting scenes but they were never serious about it. Lately they even release a movie with real human being as actors and actress. Consider that a movie with Japanese stars fooling around with cosplay. As for this game, I think you have to love Gintama in order to purchase it. If I’m looking for a hack and slash game, there are just too many better Mosou series for me to choose.
Description from Play Asia
Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia has published the English trailer for Gintama Rumble, as well as confirming that the release date for the English version of the game on PlayStation 4 will be January 18, 2018, which is exactly the same release date as the Japanese version. This English localization is intended for Southeast Asia and will have English subtitles with original Japanese voiceovers.
Gintama Rumble is a samurai rumble action game that plays much like a Dynasty Warriors or Samurai Warriors game. Players will get to control popular Gintama characters like Gintoki, Shinpachi, Kagura, Kotaro, and Shinsuke as they beat up a lot of enemies in the eight chapters of the Gintama Chronicle story.
Players in the English version will also get to hear Scramble, the theme song specifically made for Gintama Rumble by SPYAIR, as well as the day-one bonus of a DLC code to unlock Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon as assist attack. However, it will be missing out on the drama CD preorder bonus, and also the limited AV (Anime sound & Voice) edition with more theme songs from the Gintama anime as exclusive BGMs, which will be exclusive to the Japanese version. Gintama Rumble is also going to be released for PlayStation Vita, but it will be available only in Japan.
