Intense, the company behind the Trick Escape series, also makes first person dungeon crawlers. Picdun was picked up for international distribution by Gamebridge and it’s getting a sequel in Japan. In the first game, you traveled through mazes alone. Picdun 2 gives players a magical girl, an insatiable whip user, and an archer who likes to shoot people in their hearts so they fall in love.
While the art style is different, Picdun 2 is your standard dungeon crawler. The game has 60 floors with an auto mapping system. Every five floors there is an elevator you can take back to the entrance. Intense also teases there’s a reason why Picdun 2 is CERO B instead of an all ages game, but you’ll have to play Picdun 2 to find out why.
Dungeon RPG Picdun 2 will cost 500 yen ($6) when it comes out on August 22 in Japan.
