Lost Dimension

Will Atlus ever stop pumping out stylish properties? We hope not, but in the meantime, it's bringing tactical role-playing game Lost Dimension to the PlayStation 3 and Vita this summer. Going against the grain for once, it looks like us Europeans won't have to wait several hundred years for Atlus to localise it either, as NIS America will be handling the European launch.

You can watch the trailer that we've embedded, but in truth, it shows bugger all. Spanning two minutes of what can only be described as colourful waffle, you'd be better off staring at the lone gameplay screenshot at the top of this article.

Playing, of course, as a daring group of teens, you'll be taking down enemies via a combat system that somewhat resembles the brilliant Valkyria Chronicles. The twist here is that as you progress through the story, you'll need to decide which members of your party are traitors, and then kill them.

However, if you end up singling out the wrong people, you'll be betrayed by the survivors at the end of the game. It's essentially part RPG and part relationship sim, as you survive gruelling battles only to try and discover which of your allies are actually just waiting to stab you in the back.

It all sounds very interesting, and the best part is that the traitors are randomised for each playthrough, meaning that you'll end up with a different set of treacherous scum everytime that you start over. Why can't we all just be friends?

How does this sound to you? Turn your back on us in the comments section below.
