Lux-Pain finally heading to North America in 2009

Guess what? Europe is finally getting games before North America. Lux-Pain is a good example – it came out in Europe at the beginning of November, 2008 (thanks to Rising Star Games), but it won’t be coming to the US until sometime in March, 2009. Of course, we should be thankful that Ignition Entertainment decided to pick it up, because before Ignition stepped in, it looked like the US wouldn’t be getting Lux-Pain at all.

Lux-Pain stars Atsuki, a young man who had a Lux-Pain put into his left arm so that he can find and remove parasitic worms called Silent from people. If Silent is left in a person, that person will become a criminal, doing horrible things to those around them. It is up to Atsuki to save Kisaragi City from the Silent and find out why these creatures are there.

It looks Lux-Pain may be a title Phoenix Wright and Time Hollow fans will enjoy. It has the anime-style graphics and is an adventure title and requires players to search for Silent parasites using the stylus. It also may attract Trauma Center players as well, since you’re able to dissect the Silent parasites after you’ve captured them.
