The world spins, our skin grows saggy, our hair turns grey and then one day we wake up and the face of gaming has changed beyond recognition. Barely able to distinguish between films and games, having to worry about our moral decisions for fear of repercussions, controlling our avatars with every limb of our body - this is not the future, it's today and it is scary.
New development house Almost Human may have heard our harrowing plea. The world they have created in The Legend of Grimrock is tiled, statistical and harks back to simpler and, dare I say, nerdier times.

Still upset Atlus sided with Nintendo for Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth. I don't mind it's on 3DS, I mind it's not on any PS console cause the PS community are the ones that built the franchise and even made P4G a success on an unsupported system... then they decide to not give us Q but instead a dancing game *FACEPALM*
The developers are the developers of the Etrian Odyssey series which are exclusives to the Nintendo DS/3DS and which sole mechanci is drawing and constructing maps on the touch screen.
Such feature can not be replicated on Vita.
Not owned by Nintendo though, Atlus could/should work on it from the dev or another to be on Vita instead of betraying the fans like such. And there has been hundreds of games where touch screen from the 3DS has been replaced with the Vita touch screen and back touch pad. Seen gameplay, easily portable.
Please do explain how you make a game that actually needs two screens on a console that has one, Slinky.
It has nothing to do with the touch screen. It is the fact that the Etrian Odyssey mechanics require both the map and the "action" to be displayed - and interacted with - at the same time, at all times.
A map overlay, as other dungeon crawlers do on the Vita, would not work, as you wouldn't be able to draw on that while you played.
I can't wait to give this game a spin. Used to love the old, Eye of the Beholder games. I jumped on the preorder for this a couple of weeks ago when it became available. I don't even use my PC for gaming as I'm on it 8 hours a day for work, but for this I'll make an exception.
