It has been over a month since we heard anything new on Knights in the Nightmare, Sting's "turn-based RTS", but the Riviera developer has made up for that lull with official site updates, new screenshots, and a release date for Japan -- July 17, 2008.As with Sting's last handheld strategy title, Yggdra Union, these images are packed with gorgeous sprites and tons of visual data and effects. We have no idea what is going on in half of these screens. What does "touch the box to be defeated enemy" even mean? Hit the gallery below for more beautiful but confusing grabs from the game.

Its no problem, I was confused myself, as I knew this title was either a "real time" TBS, or a "turn-based" RTS, but wasn't sure which one was the right one.
I still find it ammusing, turn based in real time?

I remain utterly flummoxed when looking at screens of this game, but my interest has now been piqued due to the article's mention of the developers' involvement in Yggdra Union. That game made me tear the hair out of my scalp in bloody clumps at times, but it was still amazing.

I was misled by the hope of a Sting video game. Oh well. I guess The Police in Guitar Hero will have to do.

In this game, you posses defeated enemies.
The bottom screen looks like a slots game, when you press the box, it stops on an enemy you defeated and you become that enemy maybe?
