If you're a PSP owner looking for a deeper roleplaying experience than the Untold Legends series provides, you might want to check out what GameSpot has to say about Atari's Dungeons & Dragons Tactics. While not quite Neverwinter Nights, D&D Tactics includes character customization similar to its PC-based big brother. Race, class, alignment, skill points, and even body style and portrait selections are all here, in addition to 40 quests that each require you to assemble a small party beforehand. The dungeon crawling takes place in a generic Dungeons & Dragons world (similar to the Xbox's D&D Heroes), although it would be nice if Atari had leveraged the unique appeal of one of the franchise's many realms. D&D Tactics ships in February and is being developed by Kuju Entertainment (Battalion Wars, Crash Twinsanity).

I just don't have time to do all the complex D&D stuff when I've got 5 minutes to play the PSP.
Even then, it takes a good minute to load a level.

@Jecrell, according to the article, you can auto-select a lot of these details to speed things up. The customization is there for D&D fanboys who want to use it.

I don't know what's more shocking:
1) A game worth playing on the PSP.
or
2) A deep turned-based strategy game on any console at all.
