Take a trip to the Dungeon of Windaria


After getting wind (yes, we know) of Dungeon of Windaria, we were intrigued. Maybe because we like the visual style we were presented with, or perhaps its our unnatural love for the act of crawling about in dungeons and killing countless enemies. Whatever it is, this new video isn't helping.

Unlock most Japanese teaser trailers, this one is longer than 10 seconds. The rub is that about half the trailer won't be understandable to any of you who cannot read Japanese. Still though, nestled deep within is some tasty gameplay footage. We know how you all like that!

A retro game for a retro anime

Windaria is a classic anime movie from 1986 that tells dual Romeo & Juliet stories in a fantasy setting, as two pairs of lovers are pulled apart by the wars of their kingdoms. And now it's a dungeon-crawling game for some reason! Compile Heart has released the first screens of the new Dungeons of Windaria.

While exploring random dungeons as one of the movie's protagonists, Izu, may not make much sense, at least Compile Heart has the right idea with the style -- totally 2D vintage dungeon-RPG. Maybe the randomly generated dungeons are a good match to the randomly licensed anime, though, now that we think about it.
