First Look At Yasumi Matsuno Short Dark Fantasy And Suda51’s Robot Shooter

Guild01 is a unique project from Level-5 that brings together Yoot Saito (Seaman), Goichi Suda (The Silver Case), Yasumi Matsuno (Vagrant Story), and Yoshiyuki Hirai from the comedy group America Zarigani into a single Nintendo 3DS game.

Each creator has their own title. Matsuno’s (who is now employed at Level-5) made a short dark fantasy game called "Crimson Shroud." He’s working with fellow ex-Squaresoft employee Hideo Minaba who is doing the game’s illustrations. "Crimson Shroud" follows chasers, a dangerous job in a world with magic.

Yoot Saito has a light hearted game called "Air Porter" where players handle and sort airplane luggage. It’s a simulation style game and if you do a good job the airport will grow and more planes will be available. Yoshiyuki Hirai’s game, "Weapon Rental Shop de Omasse" has players manage a weapon rental shop for adventurers.

Goichi Suda’s title "Maiden Liberation" is a 3D shooter where you play as a high school girl who also happens to be the President of Japan. You pilot a humanoid mech and blast divine beasts that are draining your country’s energy.

Famitsu has more pictures of the four titles in Guild 01. See those here and look for Level-5’s variety game in 2012.
