Description
Atlus and Lancarse tactical RPG blending turn-based combat and narrative mystery of a traitor to unmask among the heroes. Published by NIS America, released in Europe in July 2015. Deep Vision system to detect the traitor, tactical combat with psychic abilities, multiple endings based on judgments, and tense psychological atmosphere. European version.
A tactical RPG from Lancarse and Atlus, Lost Dimension pits a team of young people with psychic powers against a menacing tower, with a major twist: a traitor hides among them and must be unmasked and eliminated before each floor. The blend of turn based tactical combat and social suspicion mechanic creates a singular narrative tension and strong replay value, the traitor changing each playthrough. The modest production and the repetitiveness of the dungeons weigh. A tactical RPG to recommend for fans of strategy and betrayal intrigue.
