Level-5 International America have today announced their release of Crimson Shroud on the Nintendo 3DS, a reimagining of classic table top RPG’s in both North America and Europe. The game is now available via the Nintendo eShop for $7.99 USD and €7.99 / £7.19 respectively.
Crimson Shroud was created by Yasumi Matsuno, whose other works include Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story and Tactics Ogre. The game was recently released as part of GUILD01, a multi-game pack for the 3DS featuring titles from a number of renowned Japanese game designers. Two other GUILD01 works – Liberation Maiden and Aero Porter have already been released on the console internationally.
CRIMSON SHROUD is a brand new take on the table-top RPG where crucial decisions hinge on the roll of a die. As Giauque, a young “Chaser” who makes a profession of finding what is lost, players are drawn into the mystery of the Original Gift, the Crimson Shroud. Dice are rolled in real time, and the outcome of a battle will depend on the ability to chain skills together strategically in order to earn bonus dice of greater face value.
