First-person 3DS RPG Beyond the Labyrinth Dated

Posted on Saturday, October 29 @ 07:16:03 Eastern by Heath_Hindman


Labyrinth no Kanata, or rather, Beyond the Labyrinth, is set to please Japanese first-person RPG fans on January 19th of next year, as announced by Konami on the game's official website. 

Don't let the screenshots below or box art above fool you; this game makes use of the first-person perspective in both navigation and battle. The girl in the white dress is a party member, but not the player character.  She can be seen wandering around in front of the player character, but the player will not see himself. 

Game Revolution actively sought out someone with experience playing the game for a quick comparison.  When asked what the game compared to, my wife on the other couch likened it to "Stuff like Etrian Odyssey or Class of Heroes." Pressed for a sandwich, the interviewee concluded the discussion and Game Revolution lost the opportunity for further questions. It also had to relocate its Japan office.

Beyond the Labyrinth currently has no confirmed release dates outside of Japan. Have some screens.

    You had me at old-school.
    Etrian Odyssey was one of the sleeper series of this generation and if this comes out in NA, I'm pre-ordering it.

    I'm still trying to find the first two games out here but the nearest store that might have it in stock is 100+ miles away.

    Definitely play the first before the second if possible as the improvements and additions of the second will make it a bit tough to get back into the first.
    And it'll be a worthy 100+ mile trip; you'll be getting an hour of pain for every mile.

    Sounds good. But I don’t have a 3DS yet. I got a big back log of games too. Maybe in the summer.

    On the bright side, if this gets an English version, it'd probably be about summer anyway, so you're good there.
