Bandai Games today announced that The Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion for the PSP has shipped to retail outlets. This beautiful role-playing game recounts the epic tale of Avin, a 17-year old boy in search of his sister who was taken by the disciples of Octum, the god of Darkness. With a trusty animal companion at his side, Avin must journey through one of the most dazzling 3-D environments available on the PSP.

“The Legend of Heroes truly delivers the classic elements of a traditional role-playing game: a fully-fleshed out fantasy universe, an incredible storyline, and a large cast of characters,” said Brian Glazebrook, Production Manager at Bandai Games. “With Minako Iwasaki’s outstanding character designs and meticulously detailed world, this game is the best looking role-playing title on the PSP this holiday season.”

Developed by legendary Nihon Falcom in Tokyo, The Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion is the second installment in a remarkable Japanese series known as “Gagharv Trilogy.”
