Released today in North America, Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth is a crossover JRPG for the 3DS. The game features characters from both Persona 3 and 4. The title is a dungeon crawler, and borrows elements from the Etrian Odyssey series. The story follows the protagonists of both games, and players are able to choose which of the character’s stories they want to follow. Both sides find themselves trapped inside a high school, and they team up to try and figure out a way to free themselves.
Gameplay for Persona Q has elements of both Persona and Etrian Odyssey titles. While battle does pan out like the Etrian Odyssey games, the use of Personas is thrown into the mix as well. Players are able to explore both the school and labyrinths. At the school, characters are able to interact with each other, heal, and buy gear. Players can then jump into labyrinths with five-man teams, and can explore and battle monsters. The map for the labyrinth is filled in on the bottom screen of the 3DS, and players can add notes to the map.
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth released today for the 3DS. A European version of the game will release on November 28th.
