Giving each character a play in Dark Awake: The King Has No Name on PS3--bought off the Japanese PSN store. It didn't come to PS3 in the States, but in US arcades it was called "Chaos Breaker." It was made by Eolith, the Korean developer who had previously developed The King of Fighters 2001 and 2002--and perhaps not surprisingly, it's a 3-on-3 fighting game with four attack buttons, and a mechanic where you can exchange fighters for magical items, an echo of the fighter/striker trade-off possible in KOF 2001.

0:00 - start & intro
1:30 - credits (Recom is the publisher, I was getting them confused with Eolith, the developer)
2:43 - Manual
4:53 - Options
8:13 - Training Mode
9:43 - Online Mode (match searches result in seemingly immediate "no opponent was found" response)
10:57 - Ranking (leaderboards)
12:08 - How to Play
12:25 - Arcade Mode with: Ramda, Sandra, Cursehead
24:54 - Mara, Nagar, Vritra
44:40 - Elion, Fina, Evetta
49:49 - Goblin, Troll, Orc
56:59 - Dorgan, Vargan, Gerhardsen II
1:06:08 - Zon, Nsidor, Bernhard
1:13:18 - Single Mode with: Troll
1:19:22 - Elimination Mode with: Troll (and Zon, Bernhard)
1:23:13 - Tournament Mode with: Evetta, Mara, Nsidor
1:34:20 - poking around some Online Mode menus
1:38:42 - testing TIME game option (clock speed)
1:44:12 - wrap-up & what's next!

And it plays pretty well! The pre-rendered graphics are different, but colorful, effectively atmospheric, and not as bad as might have been expected really, and the gameplay, while slightly on the simple side perhaps--characters didn't seem to have all that many special moves, and a lot of the numerous magical items do the same things--is lively and challenging. Item powers and super activations can get poked out and extinguished by jabs, which can be frustrating, but hey maybe I just should have been smarter with them or something? Anyway, it's actually a pretty fun game. : )
