Over My Dead Body 2 to be localized as Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines

Sony Japan Studios announced that PlayStation Vita JRPG Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines will also make its way over to western shores. Known as Over My Dead Body 2 in Japan, this RPG puts you in lead of a Japanese clan cursed with a shortened lifespan. We'll have to wait for more information and media for the localized release. A demo is set to release in Japan later this month.

Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines which is one that you JRPG fans need to have on your radar. “What does ‘Oreshika’ mean?”, I hear you cry. Actually the full title in Japanese is ‘Ore no Shikabane wo Koete Yuke’ which means something along the lines of ‘Go Forth Over My Dead Body’.

In case you haven’t guessed it by now it’s an RPG in which you take charge of an ancient Japanese clan that have been cursed with a maximum lifespan of just 2 years. Your task is to lead the clan on their quest to lift the curse and enlist the help of gods inspired by Japanese mythology to make sure each new generation of the clan is more powerful than the last.
