Atlus Bringing 3D Dot Game Heroes Stateside

Masters of localization Atlus have announced that they’re the mysterious party bringing From Software’s pixilated Zelda homage 3D Dot Game Heroes to North America. The game is set for a May 11 release with a suggested retail price of $39.99. (Import copies have sold for nearly twice that amount. Ouch.)

The PlayStation 3 game features blocky characters and familiar fantasy settings, telling the story of a legendary hero, the Master sword a powerful sword and an incredible quest. Players navigate a monster-infested overworld and dungeons filled with familiar (and new) puzzles as they work to help a kingdom suffering the effects of shifting from a 2D to a 3D world. Seriously.
