Continuing on with the 8-bit retro revival genre that was kick-started by Mega Man 9 two years ago, Cladun looks to bring some classically styled gameplay mixed with NIS humor to PSP fans everywhere.
The first thing you need to know about Cladun is that it doesn't take itself seriously. At all. Shortly after starting, one of the characters referred to the other as a "skanky psycho." It set the tone of the game well. Anyone playing through this one is sure to get more than a few laughs."
"The PSP recently celebrated its 8th birthday. To honor the occasion, I’m paying tribute to the 8 best games in three different categories. So let’s get rolling with 8 for 8: Best of the PSP, starting with the system’s most awesome original IPs." -Hindman of PSLS

That still gets stuck in my head whenever I think about it.
Some good PSP nostalgia. People might not realize that it was the starting point for some pretty cool series.
For those of us who grew up in the Super Nintendo and Sega genesis era, we have a soft spot for old school games, the ones that remind us of our childhood and give us that old timey feel. Sometimes those games are still great and fun to this day, others usually are not. Cladun X2 is a game that gives us that old game feel while making us feel like it’s something new. It’s a refreshing take on top down RPG’s that shouldn’t be over looked.
The Scoop: 8-Bit graphics and music meets modern dungeon crawling for the casual crowd in NIS’s downloadable title for the Sony PlayStation Portable.
"Perhaps our only regret is that the game is currently slated to be a PSP exclusive"
LOL. I love how people want the games of a platform that supposedly has no games.
NIS love the PS brand and the PSP. Cladun and ZHP will be awesome. Totally hyped for them.
