Just a few days ago, Level-5 announced two new games for the PSP, one of which was Cardboard Senki (aka Danboru/Dambol Senki). Initial details about the game are scarce, but now at least we got some screens and artwork to see how this new RPG will play out. Also, we learn more of the story.

Just a few days ago, Level-5 announced two new games for the PSP, one of which was Cardboard Senki (aka Danboru/Dambol Senki). Initial details about the game are scarce, but now at least we got some screens and artwork to see how this new RPG will play out. Also, we learn more of the story.

Cardboard Senki is set in the future where Little Battle Experience (LBX) toy robots are all the craze among kids. Too bad the LBXs got a tad bit too powerful and eventually posed a threat to kids playing, modifying, and upgrading them. LBX production was then halted. Enter our 13 year old hero who suddenly finds an LBX model in a toy shop. And thus, the story begins.

Specific gameplay details aren’t available yet, but judging from the story and screens, it looks like it involve lots of grinding – finding parts, customizing your robot, the whole shebang. Most probably, Wi-Fi play will be supported, but Level-5 hasn’t confirmed anything yet. With that said, let’s bring in the media!
