Atlus draws us into the dungeon with free Dark Spire soundtrack disc
Not only does Atlus love announcing DS games, it has developed an appreciation for putting those DS games in fancy boxes with soundtrack CDs, and we cannot say that we are displeased with this development. Add the recent delays, and Atlus is on their way to being the reincarnation of Working Desig...
Atlus brings The Dark Spire to light
Atlus has confirmed the theory that their upcoming The Dark Spire is a localized version of Success' Genmu no Tou to Tsurugi no Okite -- either that or they dropped whatever game they had planned under that name after they saw that everyone thought it would be Genmu.

While each graphical style contrasts sharply with the other, they do share at least one thing in comm...
Cel-shading makes a dungeon slightly less painful
One of the many DS games on the way from Success Corp. is this beautiful dungeon crawler, Genmu no Tou to Tsurugi no Okite. Roguelikes are hot on the DS, and they're an old genre -- why not first-person dungeon crawlers? They're just as ancient. And Etrian Odyssey has proven that people will still...
