Nippon Ichi released a trailer introducing Labyrinth Tower Legacista. Developed by ClaDun maker System Prisma it sure looks like a dungeon RPG, but Nippon Ichi calls it a "survival action RPG" using the game’s tagline, survive or die.

The story begins in the past where technology thrived. Now these relics sit untouched in the Ivy Tower, which has been dormant for a thousand years. Alto, an explorer, bravely ventures inside hoping to cure his petrified sister. Inside the tower, his first friend is an android named Melize who lost her memories. Reina, an ice witch, enters the Ivy Tower too with Shout, a warrior android that looks like an ancient knight.

Labyrinth Tower Legacista comes out for PlayStation 3 on March 15.

System Prisma, makers of the ClaDun series, are working on their first PlayStation 3 game titled Labyrinth Tower Legacista. You can play as Alto the explorer, Melize a magic swordswoman, Shout the warrior or Reina an ice mage.

Don’t want to be any of those characters? How about Disgaea anti-hero Laharl? Nippon Ichi will character data so fans can add him into Legacista.

Like ClaDun, Legacista has a character editor, but instead of picking jobs you choose personality traits. "Boasting about brawn" gives your character an HP boost while "thinking about friends" makes your character use magic while covering another hero. You can design a character’s face and weapon pixel by pixel or import photos into the game. Players can also select one of 40 voices for their character. Cool guy, elder sis, cutesy, and effeminize male are some of the voice options in the game.

So this was actually announced a while ago. looks interesting, as far as i know its disc release only which could make it a bit of a hassle to get a hold of but i'm sure NISA will bring it over at some, they always do

Nippon Ichi recently released the System Prisma-developed 2D dungeon crawler, Labyrinth Tower Legacista, in Japan. Think of it as a high-res Class of Heroes style game with randomly generated dungeons and a 2D top-down view for the PlayStation 3.

Today, NIS America announced that this game is headed to North America, simply titled Legasista. One of Legasista’s more interesting features is that it can import images on your PlayStation 3 to create playable in-game characters. Characters can be customized both with regard to equipment and job classes.

Legasista will be released sometime in August. It will be a download title on the PlayStation Network. A price for the game hasn’t been announced yet.
