Baroque - Might Miss It If You Aren't Looking

[JohnnyV]

I found a neat little Wii gem the other day while randomly browsing IGN. The game is called Baroque, and looks to be a crazy RPG coming out for the Wii. Here's a synopsis of the title:

You awaken to find the world in ruin, your heart beset with unexplained guilt. A cataclysm has destroyed the cities and empires of men and disfigured the spirit of humanity. In this nightmare, it falls to you to descend a mysterious tower in search of absolution. Battle merciless foes through treacherous dungeons, scour for new items to aid you in your travels, and unlock the secrets of a devastated land. You will find death in the depths, yet learn that death is not the end of the story; in the twisted world of Baroque, it is only the beginning.



The screen shot looks really grainy, early PS2 grainy...but hey i'll take a dark, wii driven RPG any day. It is being developed by Atlus, which has a pretty good RPG resume with the likes of Odin Sphere (PS2), Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 (PS2), Tactics Ogre (SNES...oh yea pullin out the old school)
