More Info on Deep Labyrinth

A dog and his boy descends the Deep Labyrinth, a world populated by magical creatures and monstrous foes. You get to help them as Deep Labyrinth, the first RPG for cellular phones, goes to the DS. Exploring the deep labyrinth will be possible while casting of spells and swinging the sword is made possible through the use of the stylus/touch screen.

Deep Labyrinth is going to be out soon, but I’m pretty sure before grabbing this game most of you would like to know more about it to be able to make a wise decision, right? Wish granted. Deep Labyrinth publisher Altus’ Zach Meston shares with us more info on the game.

Deep Labyrinth will feature two scenarios – “Shawn & Ace” and “Wandering Soul”. The first scenario, Shawn & Ace, was developed specifically for the DS and has a cute and “cartoony” look. Wandering Soul, on the other hand, was patterned after the cellphone version of the game and harbors a darker feel. Although both scenarios have the same gameplay and shares most of the monsters, storylines are definitely different and do not intertwine.

Most people who’ve seen the game describe it as a pocket Oblivion, but Meston disagrees. Although highly tempting, the notion of Deep Labyrinth being an Oblivion-lookalike is unfair, says Meston. As he said, “Deep Labyrinth is more combat-intensive, for one, and more exploration-oriented, for another. ItÂ’s a dungeon-crawlery experience, if I had to give it a label, although IÂ’d argue that it has a more compelling story—rather, TWO more compelling stores—than youÂ’d find in a typical hack-and-slash.”

Deep Labyrinth was indeed big in Japan, but we all know that not all that clicks with the Japs become a big hit in America. So what made Altus decide to import the game to the US? Because it’s a hardcore RPG game that will appeal to any RPG fan regardless of race, says Meston. And also because Altus believes that Deep Labyrinth is “a good, solid title for a great handheld.”
