Argent is a video game company recognized for developing the billiards titles Carom Shot (1997) and Carom Shot 2 (1998). The company's name is also associated with the distribution and publishing of several modern titles and limited editions, including Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, Lapis X Labyrinth, Langrisser I & II, and Raiden III x Mikado Maniax.
Operating within the broader ecosystem of tactical role-playing and niche Japanese gaming, the company's catalog bridges classic simulation design with high-profile releases tied to the
Phantom Brave and
The Legend of Heroes franchises. During the late 1990s, the developer established its technical foundation on the original PlayStation console, creating physics-based sports simulations. In later decades, the brand transitioned toward specialized publishing and distribution, particularly focusing on premium physical packages and collector's editions for modern platforms like the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
These distribution efforts brought localized versions of acclaimed tactical RPGs and niche action titles to dedicated fanbases. Notable releases under this publishing umbrella include the refined fantasy RPG
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir and the vibrant action-platformer
Lapis X Labyrinth [Limited Edition XL]. The company also facilitated the physical preservation of classic strategy gaming through
Langrisser I & II [Limited Edition], alongside high-speed shoot-'em-up action in
Raiden III x Mikado Maniax and its corresponding
Raiden III x Mikado Maniax [Limited Edition]. Through these targeted releases, the publisher maintains a vital pipeline for preserving cult-classic Japanese gaming history.
