Poison Control

NIS America have shared the latest trailer for Poison Control, showcasing its gameplay:

The latest trailer for Poison Control showcases the battle system and other gameplay elements. The player character and Poisonette, two souls within a single body, take turns controlling the body to purify Belle’s Hells by encircling poison mires, shooting poison bullets at enemies, and earning stickers upon successful purges to receive passage to Heaven. Getting close to Poisonette through bonding moments may even change the outcome of the story.

Also, NIS America have launched a giveaway, with 1 Limited Edition of the game and three copies of the standard edition to win. Click here to check it out (runs until January 13th)!
