Nippon Ichi s old-school dungeon crawl Labyrinth Of Refrain: Coven Of Dusk is out now

Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk

Beneath a small town lies an endless maze known as the Labyrinth of Refrain. Dusk Witch Dronya arrives, and with her puppet soldiers, endeavors to find something buried deep within. Embark on an adventure as you discover the secrets underground.

Labyrinth Of Refrain: Coven Of Dusk is exactly what you’d expect from Disgaea studio Nippon Ichi Software taking on the Wizardry-styled dungeon crawler genre. It’s an RPG about excess – huge parties of player-made characters with honking great stat sheets, exploring a massive grid-based dungeon in classic first-person style. All with even less artistic restraint than usual – unlike the Disgaea series, this one carries a ‘Mature’ rating in America. Below, an extremely anime launch trailer.
