Mugen Souls



The next Compile Heart game developed under the direction of Keiji "Shin" Inafune.

The plot revolves around Chou Chou, a self-proclaimed god who wishes for world domination.

It was released in Japan on March 22, 2012. A Western release has been confirmed for autumn.


 * Absurdly High Level Cap: Trailers show that 9999 is the highest level you can obtain in this game.
 * Absurdly High Damage Cap: Trailers show multi-hit attacks easily breaking ten-digit damage. At one point, a finishing move is shown to cause a grand total of over six-and-a-half billion HP damage! Even for a Nippon Ichi-associated RPG, I think that's a new record!
 * One of the screenshots on the website shows an attack doing over 933 billion damage.
 * Amnesiac God: Chou Chou has no idea who she is other than knowing that she's a god.
 * Character Customization: Trailers show that you're able to create different characters.
 * Cloning Blues:
 * Contest Winner Cameo: Leonhardt Raglen, Neptune, Nepgear, and Hiiro, will be included in the game via DLC. That's only one out of two batches, and the 2nd batch is still ongoing.
 * Second batch of winners includes Noire, Vert, and Fyuria.
 * Cool Ship: The Gcastle
 * Defeat Means Slavery: Every single boss fight ends with Chou-Chou having the defeated person as their slave.
 * Does This Remind You of Anything?:  That is all.
 * Duel Boss:
 * Expy:
 * Forgotten Friend, New Foe:
 * Guide Dang It: Getting the True Ending in typical Compile Heart fashion.
 * Giving Someone the Pointer Finger: Chou-Chou loves doing this all the time. To a lesser extent, so does Altis.
 * Hoist by His Own Petard: Go ahead, go overload that Geboku Dama. We'll wait to see your reaction.
 * Hot Springs Episode: Brings back the good ol' fashion minigames from Record of Agarest War 2
 * Unusual for Compile Heart, this happens at the beginning of the game.
 * Launcher Move: Some skills enable you to launch enemies up in the air.
 * Level Grinding: Say hello to the Mugen Field.
 * Literal Split Personality: Chou-Chou Egocentric has split herself up into different personalities. Their names, loosely translated, are Chou-Chou Natural (Teacher's Pet), Chou-Chou Vigour, Chou-Chou Beauty, Chou-Chou Cool, Chou-Chou Sadistic, Chou-Chou Masochist, and Chou-Chou Tsundere.
 * Marshmallow Hell:
 * Monty Haul: If you download the DLC; it's a Compile Heart tradition after all.
 * Name's the Same: Do not confuse Keiji "Shin" Inafune to the Keiji Inafune we all know.
 * No Export for You: AVERTED!! FULLY!!
 * Nosebleed: Ryuto makes one at the beginning of the game when he sees Chou-Chou and Altis naked in the bath.
 * Person of Mass Destruction: Chou-Chou, the protagonist, is able to literally drop an Energy Ball the size of a freaking galaxy!
 * Pragmatic Adaptation: Nippon Ichi has announced some changes will occur to the US version of the game, presumably this will involve removing or editing the extremely lewd bathing minigame.
 * Rose-Haired Girl: Chou-Chou Egocentric.
 * Sequel Hook:
 * Shout-Out: Lots. For example, the trailer ends with a Genki Dama. The size of a Galaxy. That does 8.9 billion damage.
 * Spell My Name with an "S": Even the website and the game can't seem to agree whether it's Shu-Shu or Chou-Chou. However, the official translation is the latter.
 * It should be noted that it's pronounced "Shu Shu" either way.
 * Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors: How the ship-to-ship combat works in this game.
 * Theme Music Power-Up: When entering Fever Mode, you are treated to the game's themesong overriding the battle theme for as long as the Fever Mode lasts.
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl: Bellaria
 * Word Salad Title: If you must know, the literal translation of this game is "Overwhelming Game Infinite Souls".
