RandomNPC – Video Game RPG Reviews, Editorials, and Features

Capcom released more tidbits about the upcoming PS4 RPG Deep Down, specifically its equipment system and microtransactions. Regarding gear, players can only equip various armor pieces after learning the required skills for them, which are inscribed on stone statues scattered throughout the game’s dungeons. Known weapon types include spears and both one and two-handed swords, though interestingly the spear seems to be the default weapon.

As for microtransactions, producer Yoshinori Ono explained that the base game would indeed be free of charge, with additional items and “other game content” sold separately. “To ensure people playing the game don’t lose interest,” he said in a recent interview, “we will keep working to deliver stable long-term services.”

Deep Down is planned for a 2014 release.
