Three New Level 5 Titles Hitting 3DS eShop Before Year End!
Who doesn’t love Level 5!? From the wonderful (but too often forgotten) Dark Cloud titles for the Playstation 2, to the wonderfully quirky Professor Layton series, and even 2006’s wonderful Dragon Quest VIII: the company has touched the hearts of gamers young and old alike, and certainly mine.
Earlier today we reported on the upcoming revamp to the 3DS eShop. There is lots of cool stuff coming, so you may have missed the fact that three of the upcoming games are Level 5 titles!
All three titles have been available in Japan for some time, but will be new to North America when they launch. All three of them sound freaking cool!
Here are the descriptions, straight from the press release:
ABOUT LIBERATION MAIDEN
LIBERATION MAIDEN is a full-scale 3D sci-fi shooter created by critically acclaimed developer Goichi Suda, better known as SUDA51, from Grasshopper Manufacture, creators of fan-favorites Lollipop Chainsaw, No More Heroes, Shadows of the Damned and many more. Set 100 years in the future in New Japan, LIBERATION MAIDEN puts players in the role of Shoko Ozora, piloting a humanoid robot called Kamui. The game brings AAA production values to the downloadable market in an unprecedented collaboration of all-star creators in music, art, and design, including breathtaking animation by the acclaimed animation studio, bones.

AERO PORTER combines puzzle elements with a simulation of airport operations. Designed by Seaman creator Yoot Saito, the player sorts color-coded luggage onto conveyor belts while avoiding mishaps and delays. Players are also able to design and share their own planes with a wide range of colors and patterns.ABOUT CRIMSON SHROUD
CRIMSON SHROUD was created by game designer, Yasumi Matsuno, whose previous works include industry cornerstones such as Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story, and Tactics Ogre. CRIMSON SHROUD is a new RPG that reimagines the table top RPG, and puts the power of the dice in the player’s hands to determine their fates.
Looks like there are some pretty huge names attached to these titles (freaking Yasumi Matsuno!). Level 5 has also released a trailer for the upcoming releases. Check it out below and let us know which one you’re looking forward to the most!
