<p><a class="zem_slink" title="Xseed Games" href="http://www.xseedgames.com/" target="_blank" rel="homepage">XSEED Games</a> has announced that they are bringing <em>Unchained Blades </em>to the 3DS via the Nintendo eShop. <em>Unchained Blades </em>is a first-person dungeon clawer, but unlike most games of the genre, <em>Unchained Blades </em> emphasizes its story. Combat is done via a turned-based system, but there is a neat sounding Unchain system. Your party of four has the ability to unchain the monsters that you run across, and they will help you in battle with various abilities.</p>
<p>What is impressive is the all-star cast that worked on the title. Director Toshio Akashi (<em>Lunar </em>series), writer Takashi Hino (<em>Grandia</em>), and composer <a class="zem_slink" title="Nobuo Uematsu" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobuo_Uematsu" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Nobuo Uematsu</a> (<em>Final Fantasy</em>) make up the core of the team. There are also some big name artists that designed the characters as well, such as <a class="zem_slink" title="Toshiyuki Kubooka" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0473549/" target="_blank" rel="imdb">Toshiyuki Kubooka</a> (<em>Lunar</em>), Shinichiro Otsuka (<em>Summon Night</em>), and <a class="zem_slink" title="Kazushi Hagiwara" href="http://basta.gangz.com/" target="_blank" rel="homepage">Kazushi Hagiwara</a> (<em>Bastard!!!</em>) led the art team.</p>
<p>The dungeon crawler is currently available for the PSP for download, and will be made available for the 3DS on January 3, 2013.</p>
