Just like fans familiar with high-quality games Atlus churns out, our expectations were steep after the company announced its plan to be a third-party publisher for the Microsoft Xbox 360. With two titles in the pipeline, we couldn't wait to see what's in store. Now, we finally get a glimpse of developer Idea Factory's Spectral Force 3 for western regions.

Labeled as the first strategy RPG on the Xbox 360, Spectral Force 3 offers everything you'd expect from a title in its genre with excess of up to 40 unique recruitable characters, over 150 missions, and an engaging combo system.

Unlike the World War II-inspired Operation Darkness, another grid-based strategy game by Atlus on the Xbox 360, Spectral Force 3 takes a fantasy setting head on with anime-esque characters and character classes such as ninja, samurai, and sorcerer. It is slated for release this spring, just a few weeks before the other Atlus offering hits shelves.
