Square Enix announced that today, Dungeon Encounters, first announced at Tokyo Game Show a few weeks ago, is now available digitally for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC will be available from today, October 15, 2021. The game is touted as a new single-player dungeon exploration RPG.
Directed by the Final Fantasy series’ Hiroyuki Ito and produced by Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age’s Hiroaki Kato, Dungeon Encounters challenges players to test their strategic skills with 100 levels of challenges.
Using 2D grid-based movements, players are invited to lead an expedition charting the depths of an otherworldly labyrinth. Players must plan and prepare to overcome numerous obstacles, battles, and defeat monsters in a bid to outwit the formidable game system and reach the deepest level of the Dungeon.
Players can enjoy a newly polished and refined iteration of Final Fantasy’s classic Active Time Battle (ATB) system brought to you by the original creator, Hiroyuki Ito.
Dungeon Encounters features an expansive range of fantasy-inspired characters by character designer Ryoma Ito, offering players a unique take on the dungeon crawler genre, and the ability to customize their team in order to complete the challenges and obstacles effectively.
Fans can also enjoy a soundtrack overseen by musical director Nobuo Uematsu, featuring a modern take on classical tracks, as they put their minds to the test and venture through the many levels of Dungeon Encounters.
