Ninety-Nine Nights was already a game featuring a great many dudes on-screen at any one time -- however, developer Q Entertainment has announced a move for the franchise that should exponentially bump up that number. The studio recently revealed Ninety-Nine Nights Online, an Action-MMO for the PC, which adds a number of persistent RPG elements (such as multiple job classes, parties and PvP) to the series' familiar strategy-hack-and-slash formula.
The game, which will follow the increasingly popular free-to-play, microtransaction-supported MMO business model, has yet to receive any firm release schedule details, nor has Q announced whether it would also drop in North America. Given the poor critical reception and even poorer sales garnered by the last installment in the series, we wouldn't be surprised if it passed us by.

Long as I get to kill one million troops in an instant, I will be playing it. Of course if the online is like Dynasty Warriors Online then awesome.

I really want to like this game series, esp. since the first one has an awesome character (little girl witch who uses a key and can summon massive amounts of water as a weapon? pure awesome)
...but its really, really, really hard to like.

I enjoyed the first one. It had it's problems- NO DOUBT. But I liked it.
The second, however, was pure garbage.
Also, I'm sure this is silly... but I wish the story was stronger. Sure, it's a hack and slash fighter/rpg... but the trailers really alluded to more than what it delivered. I thought the premise and characters were great; they were just never fleshed out.

Dying and not having checkpoints killed this franchise for me. I don't have the time or patience for that BS.
