About<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Labyrinth of Zangetsu<\/em> is new 3D dungeon RPG by Acquire. Its gameplay systems are a return to the \u201croots\u201d of hack-and-slash. It is a title that emphasizes \u201cwa\u201d (the Japanese-style), which is Acquire’s specialty. It depicts a \u201cdeep\u201d world view illustrated by ink painting brush strokes. And features a \u201cmixture of wa\u201d sound that channels the music of Japan’s various eras, from \u201cgagaku\u201d (traditional Japanese music and dance) to \u201cnoh\u201d (traditional Japanese masked dance-drama). Labyrinth of Zangetsu<\/em> is developed based on these four keywords.<\/p>\n

Worldview: A World Painted Jet Black by the \u201cInk of Destruction\u201d Calamity<\/strong><\/p>\n

The story is set in Ido, “the city of the morning moon,” which continues to fight against the calamity that is the “Ink of Destruction.”<\/p>\n

Ido belongs to Tokinokuni, a country that resembles medieval Japan, and is a fortress city protected by a powerful magical technology barrier located directly beneath the \u201cmoon\u201d that always shines in the sky.<\/p>\n

The city summons travelers from all over the world to select \u201cInk Destroyers\u201d from among those with extraordinary power.<\/p>\n

Ink Destroyers are given the task to proceed toward \u201cSakyuu,\u201d the most dangerous area.<\/p>\n

Ink Beasts: Born from the Ink of Destruction<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the living come into contact with the \u201cInk of Destruction,\u201d some went mad and fell to death, while others became demons and began to attack their loved ones and devour their neighbors.<\/p>\n

When the dead come into contact with the ink, they are resurrected and wander the world to increase their ranks.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, inanimate can become ferocious, wriggling monsters …<\/p>\n

These were called \u201cInk Beasts\u201d and were feared by the people.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
