ATLUS ANNOUNCES KNIGHTS IN THE NIGHTMARE™ FOR NINTENDO DS™, PREPARES TO EMBRACE THRILLED FANS

Those of you playing "Announcement BINGO" at home, please cover up the square for Knights in the Nightmare, because it's coming to North America.  What kind of game is it, exactly?  Glad you asked!

Simply put, Knights in the Nightmare is a gaming experience unlike anything else.  And we're not just saying that.  You are a magical wisp with the power to guide spirits of dead knights, helping to free their trapped souls by cleansing a tainted castle.  Your movements on the touch screen precisely control the wisp on the top screen, allowing for immediate, accurate gameplay.  Special attacks, dodging projectiles, and collecting items couldn't be any faster or easier.  There is a learning curve, a steep one, but the incredibly comprehensive and at times interactive tutorial has you covered.  Manage and equip items, level the knights you command, and pay heed to what you're up against in each battle, as a little forethought can often make all the difference.

Then there are the game's visual and aural components.  This is one of the most stylish, beautifully-conceived games for Nintendo DS.  The score matches the game's themes perfectly; somber at times, intense and charged with energy at others.  Knights in the Nightmare also pays close attention to the little things, conveniences intended to make life easier for the gamer.  And because finishing the game once unlocks the ability to play through again from a different perspective -- through the eyes of the antagonist -- you'll certainly want to play through again. 

Knights in the Nightmare is scheduled for release on June 2nd with an MSRP of $34.99.  We'll share much more about this one in the near future... stay tuned!

That's probably because this game is from the developers of Yddgra Union

I kind of figured that out when I read the big "Atlus" at the top.

Atlus gears up to deliver an innovative mix of role-playing and strategy this June with Knights in the Nightmare for the Nintendo DS, a game that promises energetic action mixed with thought-provoking tactical gameplay.

If it sounds complicated, it gets even more complicated. According to the official press release, Knights in the Nightmare incorporates aspects of strategy role-playing, real-time strategy, and shooter games into one tiny package. Players control a wisp that reawakens the souls of long-dead knights in an effort to revitalize a long-dead kingdom. The wisp flies about the screen, bringing the dead back to life to do battle as bullets fly in all directions. From the description, it sounds either like a whole lot of fun or a whole lot of confusion.

However the game ends up playing, Atlus guarantees a whole lot of replayability, with more than 100 player characters to recruit and the chance to play the whole thing over as the game's antagonist once you've finished.

Feel free to try and decipher the action in the screens below in order to possibly gain some insight into what exactly is going on in Knights in the Nightmare, due out June 2nd for the Nintendo DS.

I was talking about Sting Entertainment(or whatever that game development company was called).
