From source :
We are unsure just yet if this is a UK-only release or if everyone is able to grab this but EA has released D.A.R.K for the Xperia Play. It's a little tricky to find but we have where to get it if it is indeed available for everyone. Either way, it is a great looking shooter/RPG game.
D.A.R.K is a top-down shooter/RPG with a space theme wrapped in some great 3D graphics. Your job is to search through a ship that has lost communications which was on an important mission to save mankind. While there isn't a whole lot of information regarding this game, your character happens to be decked out like a Space Marine from Warhammer 40k. It is a lot like Gun Bros but without the Bro part and deeper storyline. Don't forget this was one of the games that was announced right before E3 as coming to the Xperia Play but with no other information available.
Features:
Huge Sci-Fi RPG
Mind-blowing 3D graphics
An enormous ship to explore
Tons of upgradable weapons and items to find
Unique Enemies with intelligent AI
Currently, to find this game you have to go to a specific site which is why we believe this may be a UK-only release for right now. This doesn't mean anyone else can't get it but we are also are not 100% sure you can either just yet. What is even more strange is that there was no information or press release that this game had even been released. The only way to get the game is by jumping onto your Xperia Play and heading over to this site, EA Flexion Store. It is an OEM marketplace where EA HD games are sold.
One other thing to note, during the intro video the Chillingo symbol appears. Does this mean Chillingo is getting back into publishing on Android after almost a year of nothing? If you remember though, at the end of last year EA bought Chillingo for $27 million so it makes sense since EA is involved in Android gaming.
D.A.R.K will cost you £5 which is basically $7.99. We would love for any of our US Xperia Play owners to try this and let us know if it works for you or not. It probably won't though since we are almost positive it's UK-only right now. As with all Xperia Play exclusive games so far, D.A.R.K will end up being a one month exclusive to the Xperia Play most likely before a version for all other Android devices is released. No word on exactly when this will hit US shores but it could be any day from now.
I can download it, so it seems not to be UK only
Regards Dousan...
yea im downloading now too
Just took the game for a quick run and its pretty cool the aiming is pretty easy in this game and the d pad works prefect, all in all its a really good game!
Unsure of how to obtain this I can't find it in my Market Aus here
It's not in the market you need to use the link in OP's post then the link that says 'purchase'. When on EA's homepage hit D.A.R.K link. If it's not there hit the home button in the bottom of the EA page and it should then appear
Regards Dousan...
Fun game played one hour and it's saying my progress is 66% I hope it's not that short.

Now it's easier to find, simply open the Xperia Play app and it's there!
it's already on my Xperia Play app, PHILIPPINES
Whenever i try to get the game via the Xperia-Play app it redirects me to the EA site and there it said:
Unsupported Game
We're sorry but the game you selected is not available for your handset. click the link below to browse all games that are available to you.
Am i the only one having this problem? Anyone know how i could fix it?
I wouldn't bother getting this game, it gets very boring and repetitive. Sure the game looks great, but the gameplay is weak. I would stick to Gun Bros where there's far more depth in enemies, upgrades, and weapons.
I managed to buy it, the game is very repetitive, but fun. The problem is, I finished it in less than three hours. After finishing the game, they tell you they will release addons soon, so they want more money from us.
6 euro for a repetitive game of three hours, and they want to release paid-for DLC? I'm sure the next phone models will have coin slots, just like the old arcade games, because they'll want us to pay 20c in order to respawn after being killed, in addition to having bought the game...

Really?!? they can F.ck off!
and they wonder why ther eis such a thing as piracy
I just finished episode 1. To play episode 2, I must wait for an update?
I'll admit... I've been waiting for this game for months even before it's English translation was announced. Having them suddenly announce that it'd be released today had me F5'ing the **** out of their page
I like old-school style RPGs; but playing games I've already played before via emulators is kinda depressing. I do like that KEMCO's mixing in just that right balance of old and new school so that their RPGs don't have those archaic old-school RPG issues, but also don't kill that ever-so-mysterious *charm* that era's RPGs had. Judging by the scores of their previous RPG releases (Symphony of Eternity, Eve of the Genesis, Alphadia and Grinsia) the known name behind games such as Dragon View and Shadowgate still got it!... and so far, this is even better than their last Xperia PLAY RPGs!
I hate to remove Galaxy Hero from my website's featured game spot, but Aeon Avenger's in town!
Google Play Link: AEON AVENGER

I can always count on you to find kickass JRPGs that just appeared on Google Play. Much thanks.

I have been keeping an eye out for this game since I saw the original and that it was being translated in to English. Thank you..... awesome find my friend.
Bought it.......
What makes this one special? I admit Kemco have stepped up their game considerably, even releasing a video opening for such an old relearn as Eve of the Genesis... The tune is catchy too. However, I feel they're a bit too conservative with their games, and I really hope they release a killer app because they really try hard.
No Logseman, this game is not conservative, this game looks OLD, and as I said in another Kemco game's thread, looks like it has been made with RPG maker.
Even 2D RPG games for PSX looked far more advanced than this.
We are in the year 2012, but seems that Kemco doesn't know it.
Yeah it looks a little old, but looks are not everything. I for one am glad the Kemco is making these RPGs and not only that makiung them compatible with our devices....so Kemco..... THANK YOU!!

I was actually asking about gameplay. 2D graphics ate not an issue for me if they're well bundled with a good story. That's where I don't want them to be conservative.

Ditto.
BTW, this is far above the league of anything made in RPGmaker... I don't even understand what form of dementia would make him bring that up again seeing as the entire notion got trampled over last time he tried that. KEMCO's RPGs are thricefold the depth of anything that could be created in RPGmaker, the resolution is much higher, and the graphical detail is much higher... meaning the only thing they really have in common is that they're 2D.
I'm starting to wonder if it's just a common troll trend to call all non-SQEnix 2D RPGs "RPGmaker lookin crap".

Myself and most ohers dont care for trolls, but still point being Kemco is awesome for making these games available to the masses, and I do hope they bring there other Japanese rpg games to the masses as well..... people can troll all they want, People will enjoy it or not. For me....I will be enjoying it.... and for those that enjoy it show your support by buying the game, because ultimately its about revenue and if people buy the game and Kemco sees there is profit and interest we will continue to see good things come from it.
Currently for Xperia PLAY from Kemco we have the awesome games:
Eve of the Genesis
Aeon Avenger
Symphony of Eternity.
All three are great, my favorites being Eve & Aeon. I wanted to let everyone know I have contacted Kemco and asked them about their other RPG games that are on the market but not available in English. Here is what I wrote to them, all games in question have the web page link, from there you can see the three games I have if you are interested.
Kemco's email address: [email protected]
My email.

Hello,
Currently I have Aeon Avenger, Symphony of Eternity, Eve of the Genesis on my Xperia PLAY and I love these games. They have provided me with a lot of entertainment. I have noticed there are several other games listed on the Google PLAY store that say they are for Japanese only. Can you tell me if any of the following games will be released in English and have Xperia PLAY support..

I would appreciate any feedback as myself and many others would love to see more of these RPG games come to English speaking Xperia PLAY users and to the android community as a whole. Thank you for your time. And thank you for releasing these to the market and for making them Xperia PLAY optimized.
Sincerely,
Jesse

Whatever response I get I will post here, if you are a fan of not only RPG's but RPG's for Xperia PLAY please email Kemco at the above email address and request that more RPG games come to not only the Android community but also Xperia PLAY. Seriously these RPG's are a lot of fun and I have really had a lot of fun and enjoyment playing these games.
I'm still buggin' them to Xperia Play Optimize Grinsia and Alphadia... I'll actually care about those games when they're optimized
...btw, have you seen the trailer for Symphony of the Origin? That looks better than a handful of RPGs on my PSP/DS!

This is the response I got......... not quite what I was hoping to hear but then again I guess the support team probably doesnt know any more then the rest of us until any new games are announced.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear customer,
This is KEMCO_GAMES support representative.
Thank you very much for having played our games!
I'm afraid we cannot guarantee anything about future releases(in
English) or Xperia supports. However, our intention is to launch as much
games as possible for the people all over the world to give them the
chance to have fun with our JRPGs.
During that time, we can show you other RPGs which are already localized
in English and available on Google Play.
http://www.kemco-games.com/global/games.html
If you liked Aeon Avenger, Symphony of Eternity and Eve of the Genesis,
I'm sure you'll like them as well.
Sincerely,
KEMCO_GAMES

Yesm Kemco's JRPGs are great. I have played and beaten Symphony of Eternity (not my favorite of the 3 I have beaten but still good) Eve of the Genesis, Aeon Avenger. These games are serioulsy... a lot of fun. Cannot praise them enough. Some of the dialogue is a little cheesy but still good games.
mmm, maybe after Persona 2 and Thales of Phantasia i will try this games
Just wanted to let everyone know that Kemco is having a Christmas sale. Select games are on sale for $.99 (US Dollars)

Kemco has made the awesome games...
Aeon Avenger, Eve of the Genesis, and Symphony of Eternity. As of this morning they have released Dark Gate. Buying it now. Loved their previous games.

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!! I know i will.
Really - i don't like kemco games. I bought one and after an hour uinstall - reason? Game was boring as hell. Stupid story, bad "retro" style graphics (looks like made in jrpg maker) . There are many better jRPG on SNES, GBA, PSX.
But - could You compare this game to Final Fantasy on android?

In my opinion comparing kemco games to FF series is apple to oranges......maybe that's not quite right. I see kemco games as just a pick up and play, doesn't take itself too seriously. I am not a huge FF fan... the games are fun. My favorite RPG hands down is Grandia & Grandia 2. Probably followed by skies of Arcadia. Playing grandia on my phone now. To me rpgs are not always about graphics. Grandias graphics are not great but the story was awesome. But I digress kemco are fun on the go....... yes I play grandia on the to too bit I still play kemco games. Now my favorites thus far for kemco are Eve of the Genesis and Aeon avenger. Symphoney of eternity was just OK to me. Mostly though o am happy that they are supporting our phone. For that I thank Kemco by buying their stuff.

The artworks looks like Final Fantasy Tactics....
This was a surprise for me too.
With all the promotion I do of their games on XperiaPlayGamer, they usually drop me a email whenever they've released a new Xperia Play Optimized RPG. I like the old-school graphics, and the Job system is definitely far ahead of anything we've seen in the SNES era. That's what I like the most about KEMCO; they mix the present-day levels of depth/gameplay mechanics in with old-school style graphics.
Only thing I really dislike so far is the letterboxing.
BTW, thanks for the props, OP!

Agreed, I reread my previous post that I typed on my phone..... what in the hell was I saying?! Even I couldnt really follow it and I wrote the damn thing...lol...
Anyways, I agree that they have a nice mix of new and old feel to it.
Yes, they need to change the letterboxing..... its like that on Dark Gate as well.... almost like its for 800x480 rather then 854x480..... but to be honest I am just glad they are supporting our phones with some nice retro feeling games. THANK YOU KEMCO... and yes that is the same Kemco of Shadowgate on the SNES I believe....

Blazing Souls, the sequel to the fantastic Spectral Souls, is set to come out on the 30th. I know this is somewhat old news as it was mentioned a couple weeks back on multiple Android gaming websites but I just received confirmation over Facebook that the game will be Xperia Play optimized! This might not surprise many people who hold the "the last game they made was optimized so of course this one will be" mentality but our device is getting less support by the day so I for one never simply assume optimization will be present any more.

Damn, this is great news.
On PSP, it's too glitchy to even care about (just like Spectral Souls was too laggy to care about on PSP). If they've continued following the tradition of resolving the PSP version's issues, the Xperia Play will not only have taken the crown for the deepest Strategy RPG, but will have the definitive version.
But are spectral/blazing souls really good or not? On the psp I don't play them, I've played only disgaea, ff tactics and tactics ogre, so maybe I found another good tactical game

They are really goddamned awesome SRPGs... easily deeper than Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea for their combo/charge system alone.
...the PSP versions were marred with technical flaws, but if HyperDevbox continues their tradition of fixing everything that was wrong in the PSP release, then we've got a true landmark in Strategy RPG accomplishments on our phone. Spectral Souls is already here to check out, and with it being free of all the issues that plagued the PSP version, people have seen it in a new light... I don't see why Blazing Souls would be any different.
Spectral Souls is hands down my favorite game on the Xperia Play. It is better than any other SRPG I have ever played and it comes with my highest recommendation. Can't say for the sequel since I don't have a PSP and am new to the series but if this is improved to the extent Spectral Souls was and retains a similar style with some new features and story then it should kick ass.
This just came out and is fully optimized
