SOE bringing doujin-style Gundemonium Collection to PlayStation Network

Sony Online Entertainment has announced today that they’ve partnered with indie developer Rockin’ Android to release Japanese or doujin-style indie video games on the US PlayStation Network.

The first three titles, all due to release in May 2010, are called Gundemonium Recollection, GundeadliGne and Hitogata Happa. These are all part of the Gundemonium Collection, which have already been released on PC some time ago. They feature 2D visuals with signature “bullet hell” gameplay – with trophies included, of course.

“Bringing the Rockin’ Android Gundemonium collection to the PlayStation Network further strengthens our position as a leading publisher for independent titles on the PSN” said Jason Herzceg, Director of Business Development at SOE. “Being the first publisher to bring doujin games to the PlayStation Network demonstrates our desire to deliver new genres filled with creative games to a global audience.”

Rockin’ Android is known for publishing doujin games, and is happy to bring them to PlayStation Network.

“Our collaboration with game development powerhouse Sony Online Entertainment creates an incredibly unprecedented opportunity to expose many of Japans top indie video games to the worldwide online gaming community,” said Rockin Android President Enrique Galvez. “This is truly an exciting time for both companies, the Japanese indie game industry and gaming consumers.”
