‘Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of Ancient Arts’ Now Available for the DS and PSP

Hudson Entertainment’s classic RPG franchise Dungeon Explorer has returned for an all new experience for not only the Nintendo DS but the PSP as well, and each version of Warriors of Ancient Arts will have two different gameplay experiences and stories by offering players and updated version of the classic series with all-new stories.

On the PSP system, players find themselves on a quest to uncover the fate of a legendary kingdom. Along the way, heroes will engage in battles and fight against demonic and monstrous creatures, armed with their own arsenal of assorted weapons. There are hundreds of variations between weapons, armor and equipment for players to choose from, all of which can be reworked as they progress through the adventure. Also on the PSP system, players have the ability to choose their warfare style with more than 150 different kinds of fighting arts, one of them being “Big Bang Arts”. Big Bang Arts is unique to the PSP version and allows three players to team up to triple their destructive power in Ad-Hoc Multiplayer mode. Big Bang Arts harnesses the power of all three characters at once to unleash a devastating attack on the enemy. Timing will be crucial, as the game is action-oriented, and must be calculated precisely in order to be successful.

The Nintendo DS version places gamers in a land beleaguered by a legion of undead, monstrous soldiers. The story takes place long fter the events of the PSP system, as a legend foretells of a hero who will rise to face the growing threat. Gamers must rediscover the lost “Ancient Fighting Arts” to restore peace to the Kingdom of Westria. With more than 60 different fighting arts across 8 lost Ancient Fighting Art schools, players can become skilled warriors in order to successfully wage battle against their enemies. Armories of weapons, armor and equipment are available to players, along with three hero races and three character job classes. Players can also play in a group, as 3 players can join forces to battle the “Demon God’s” minions via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

“We are thrilled to bring back a classic RPG franchise on current gen platforms,” said John Greiner President and CEO of Hudson Entertainment. “Both the PSP system and Nintendo DS games offer players two deep, action-packed RPG experiences that truly represent what the Dungeon Explorer property is all about.”
