Description
The hero of the game is Meis Triumph, a young blacksmith, the last representative of generations of spirit blacksmiths. One day a group of robbers attacks his hometown, and he is forced to leave to Boyzby, the capital city of the country. There he meets a lovely girl named Sodina, who introduces him to her brother, who also happens to be a spirit blacksmith. Soon the heroes discover that the attack on Meis' hometown was part of a much larger plan, and find themselves fighting for their lives.
"Thousand Arms" is an animé-style RPG with turn-based combat, that features 2D character sprites on polygonal background. It also has a unique twist: the addition of Japanese "dating sim" elements. Your way to get better equipment in the game is to develop your blacksmith skills. However, in order to do that you have to please your friend Sodina. Depending on the way you treat her, your relationship and therefore your progress as a blacksmith will change. The game features animé cut-scenes and voice-overs for important dialogues.

Trivia
Atlus knows how to treat their fans well. Not only do you get a full color manual with opening and ending song lyrics, production notes on how they made the game better, four pages of comments from the creators and several pages of character graphics with bios but they also include in the package a collector's 3D trading card and memory card stickers. As if this wasn't enough you can also send away for a free cd that includes the music soundtrack, pc screen-saver, desktop themes and anime wallpapers.
