Majesco RPG to Shuffle Onto Store Shelves

Majesco Entertainment announced today AWAY Shuffle Dungeon for the Nintendo DS. The game centers around Web Village, whose residents have disappeared, save for a young man by the name of Sword. To rescue the villagers, Sword must collect magical talismans, including musical instruments, that will allow him to unravel the mysteries of the dungeons where the villagers are being held captive. The game boasts of a special “shuffle” mechanism. When time runs out, the dungeons reconfigure themselves and injure Sword and the remaining villagers. As Sword liberates villagers and finds treasure, he will gain access to armor and weapons shops, as well as first aid services.

“We are very excited to be working with the collective creative talent of Hironobu Sakaguchi, Naoto Oshima and Nobuo Uematsu,” said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco. “Their experience creating high quality, best-selling games means that AWAY will be well-positioned for success when it hits retail this fall.”

The game combines 2-D and 3-D locales and features voice-over cinematics. It’s expetced out this fall.
