Nippon Ichi steps into the past with Classic Dungeon

Apparently Absolute Hero Modding Project isn’t the only PSP game Nippon Ichi has in the oven. They’re also jumping into retro mode with Classic Dungeon, an old-school dungeon crawl that not only has retro graphics but retro music as well.

Apparently Absolute Hero Modding Project isn’t the only PSP game Nippon Ichi has in the oven. They’re also jumping into retro mode with Classic Dungeon.

Revealed in this week’s Dengeki PlayStation, Classic Dungeon is a retro-fueled dungeon crawl featuring 2D dot graphics. NIS is even implementing a feature that lets players switch between standard and 8-bit music.

There’s also a sprinkling of new gameplay conventions as well. Ad-hoc multiplayer is in, and it seems customization will play a big part. gaming blog Andriasang notes that there’s even what looks like a pixel editor in there for full-on character creation.

No word yet on an overseas release, but importers can look forward to Classic Dungeon‘s February 18 release in Japan. More info is available through the source. You can also check out the game’s website here, although the full site launch won’t happen until December 3.
