You awaken to find the world in ruin, your heart beset with unexplained guilt. A cataclysm has destroyed the cities and empires of men and disfigured the spirit of humanity. In this nightmare, it falls to you to descend a mysterious tower in search of absolution. Battle merciless foes through treacherous dungeons, scour for new items to aid you in your travels, and unlock the secrets of a devastated land. You will find death in the depths, yet learn that death is not the end of the story; in the twisted world of Baroque, it is only the beginning…… mwha ha ha ha ha!!!
Yes, I tacked the evil laugh onto the end of the story synopsis, but it just seemed like it boded well for it to end that way.
Atlus USA has designed an RPG that is slightly different from what is considered normal. Just to give you one example, in one dungeon level of Baroque, your character “The Protagonist”, will venture into a demented tower where the dungeon changes as you proceed. So if you have cleared a level in it and go back, it may look totally different than it did before. Also, when you die, it furthers the storyline and more secrets about this strange world are unfolded. Sounds interesting to say the least.
Baroque is expected to arrive in retail stores on April 9 and will available for the PS2 and Wii. For more information, check out the official website.
Im really on the edge of buying this.
Sounds like a very unique game. Can’t wait ’til it’s released!
