Soma Bringing the screens to you

New screens of Monolith Soft's vaguely mysterious DS project Soma Bringer have appeared, along with a few gameplay details. Luckily, this sounds a lot more like our kind of game than Monolith's best-known work, Cutscene Collection Xenosaga.

In this action RPG, attacks are mapped to each of the DS's four face buttons, and the game is designed to allow "nonstop attacks." That means combos, and that means that this action RPG should be heavy on the action. There is even a "break" attack, that allows your character to break through blocking enemies.

The fighting takes place in three-person parties. Three actual humans can play together via local multiplayer, or one person can bring a pair of AI-controlled characters along. We're pretty surprised by how cool this is looking!
