ATLUS to Publish Lost Dimension
IRVINE, Calif. -- March 11, in the year of our Lord
2015 -- In Lost Dimension, a tactical RPG published by
ATLUS, an extraterrestrial being literally called "The End" is
here to bring about the...uh... end of the world. Only a group
of 11 psychically gifted warriors - each with unique abilities -
are even remotely powerful enough to challenge this madman, but
it won't take long for players to discover The End is not their
only foe. As the protagonist, players have the extra special
gift of psychic visions, a power that reveals that amongst his
most trusted allies are traitors working to bring about the
apocalypse. Lost Dimension will be available in stores and
digitally beginning summer 2015, exclusively on the
PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the
PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system for $39.99.
To subdue the threat The End poses to the entire planet, several
countries create a special forces group called SEALED, which is
comprised of eleven psychics with superhuman abilities. Each
soldier has their own talents and skillsets to use in combat,
which can be expanded after gaining enough experience in the
field. Bonds of friendship will form amongst the members of
SEALED, but be mindful of which allies to keep close, as The End
mandates the player must begin eliminating teammates. Make sure
to accuse the right teammate of being a traitor though - once
the final battle with The End begins any remaining traitors will
fight the main character alongside him.
KEY FEATURES:
A Cataclysmic Whodunnit! - Not only will players have to keep
their eyes focused on strategically defeating the enemies laying
in wait on the field of combat, but they need to carefully watch
party members' tendencies in order to expose the traitor. At the
end of every floor, players will be forced to vote and eliminate
one of their trusted allies, and the consequences for choosing
incorrectly could be dire...
Spoiler-Free Zone - In addition to a variety of game mechanics
to help assess teammate loyalty, Lost Dimension's traitor system
is randomly determined, assuring that no two players will be
faced with the same playthrough. Sorry, kiddies, but it's
impossible to look up the answers this time around.
Psychic Warlords - Each character in the party is a master of a
different sphere of powers. There's the girl who controls
molecular behavior to burn or freeze anything/anyone in her
path. There's the guy who can teleport all around (also with the
bonus superpower of being satisfyingly cocky). And there's even
someone with an identity crisis because all he knows how to do
is steal everyone else's powers!
Keep Your Friends Close... - In between battles, players will
have the option to chat with teammates and develop closer bonds
with them. Juggling these friendships and keeping track of who
participates in battle will be the key to sussing out the
traitors and assuring that, by the time you reach The End, it
won't be... the end... for you and your allies!
