Since the announcement of the Vita, the number of new games being released for the PSP has slowed to a troubling trickle. By combining an intricate stat-boosting system with fast-paced dungeon crawling and then bolstering the game with powerful customization tools, ClaDun x2 is a fitting swan song for the beloved portable.

"ClaDun X2 contains everything I really ask for in a game: tons of customizable content, a retro 8-bit feel and a story that doesn’t take itself too seriously when dealing with ridiculous concepts. But, for some reason, I simply can’t get engrossed in it. I always feel that I’m just missing out on something, or that I’m just another level away from unlocking something that would turn this into the game I’ve been looking for. That’s really the story of the game though as, no matter what happens, I’m always just a few steps away from what I really wanted."
Elizabeth of Vivid Gamer writes, "Originally released for Sony’s PlayStation Portable just last year, NIS America’s ClaDun x2 offered gamers on the go a retro-styled dungeon crawler. Fast forward a year and we find that NIS America ported the popular title to PCs via Steam. Sometimes, porting a title from one platform to another can be a difficult feat. Especially when a company wants to incorporate new features while also retaining the charm that drew gamers in the first time."
GC: Nearly a year ago, I got to play a pretty cool little RPG by Nippon Ichi Software called ClaDun X2 for the PSP. Originally a PSP/PSN exclusive, ClaDun X2 makes its way to the PC with the same great 8 bit style albeit on a bigger screen. ClaDun X2 is the sequel to 2010’s ClaDun: This is an RPG and brings more dungeons, creatures, classes and customization than ever before. ClaDun X2, which stands for Classic Dungeon, is a dungeon crawler that redefines the phrase.
Looks interesting- kind of like Zelda?
