PSP Furai no Shiren 3 Karakuri Yashiki - New Import

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Chunsoft's Fushigi no Dungeon (Mystery Dungeon) series has been around for a long time. The basic game engine has served as the foundation for a number of dungeon exploration games including Sega's Dramatic Dungeon Sakura Taisen and Pokemon Dungeon.

The latest release in the canonical series of Fushigi no Dungeon games features the familiar dungeon spelunking formula where movement is stutter-step and in sync with everything else in the game world. For example, when you make a move, any monsters in the room also make a move in time to every step you take. Every move you make. They're watching you. The dungeons contain 240 different monsters including big wasps, flower-like beasties, Pokemon look-alikes, and 30 bosses to contend against. New to the action is a network function where players may go online for cooperative dungeon running.

Shiren the Wanderer and his pet ermine "Koppa" return for another adventure in olde Japan. At the outset of the game, they wander into a town and have a drink at a bar. Shiren hears a story about a "Sleeping Princess" in Karakuri Mansion and resolves to investigate. Afterwards, a rendered introductory sequence plays which features the cast of the game and Koppa. The game proper starts in a town while lilting music plays in the background. Shiren walks around and is shadowed by his pet rodent. Walk to the east and he'll eventually spot four girls who are bouncing balls on the game in perfect sync. An old lady watches them play a couple of feet away in an idyllic scene that might be reminiscent of everyday life.
