Away: Shuffle Dungeon is apparently that project, with character design by Sakaguchi and music composed by Final Fantasy legend Nobuo Uematsu. Unsurprisingly, it's an RPG; specifically, it's an action-RPG starring a brash young hero named Sword. (The name is meant to evoke a sort of back-to-basics approach, similar to the original Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy, where the hero's name would be Hero.)"
RPGFan - What was the last RPG that you played that made you say "Well, that was different?" Let's face it, there just isn't a whole lot of gameplay innovation in the RPG field these days. There are hosts of traditional RPGs with turn-based combat, mountains of strategy RPGs, and plenty of traditionally-styled action RPGs. Every so often tho

Meristation writes: "After playing Away: Shuffle Dungeon which is clear is that the story writers were not killed when developing a very original plot. It all begins in a remote village, Webb Village, a curse in which every year takes a person of the same. This phenomenon, known as "Away", decides to take our protagonist, a courageous young man named Sword".
Nice I do want to play this game. It does seem like a fun idea from a gameplay perspective with the dungeon always changing ^^
looking good indeed .. gives me a chance to take a break from Zelda
