Beyond the Labyrinth

The game is produced by the Japanese tri-Ace studio, which has played many well-known console RPG games, such as Infinite Undisovery, Resonance of Fate, Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean series. Beyond the Labirynth is the company's first production for the Nintendo 3DS console. The game itself is a three-dimensional dungeon-crawler, in which together with the mysterious heroine we visit vast labyrinths of long abandoned buildings, which resemble the atmosphere of what we can find in games such as Ico.

Beyond the Labyrinth's goal is to get out of a mighty complex of abandoned buildings, which is divided into several areas with different atmosphere and appearance. The actions of the game are observed from the perspective of the first person. Our travel companion is an enigmatic light-haired heroine, who also tries to find a way out of the labyrinth. On our way together we will come across a variety of puzzles and puzzles, the solution of which will open the way to the next locations. The lower screen of the console displays a map of a given level, along with the discovery of subsequent corridors, the map is automatically and continuously updated.

In the labyrinth we will also find hostile guards and creatures that we will have to fight against. The combat system is based on the idea of three elements/energy, the use of which is the key to victory. We can prepare ourselves for meetings with enemies because they are visible on the underground map.

The game's graphic design, which was created thanks to a dedicated engine created by tri-Ace, makes a great impression and to a great extent uses the potential of 3DS. Just as big is the music created by Motoi Sakuraba, known for his compositions of soundtracks for the series, such as Star Ocean, Tales of... or Valkyrie Profiles.
