A Lufia 2 remake entitled Lufia II: Curse of the Sinistrals is coming to the DS thanks to Natsume! It will be released this Fall 2010 at a price point of $30 and was originally released for the Super Nintendo in 1995 as “Rise of the Sinistrals”.
The remake will include completely updated 3D visuals and full voice acting for the cast! Although what may worry fans of the original game is that the genre has been switched from a encounter-based RPG to an action RPG. There will also be a number of changes being made to both the storyline and the gameplay systems.
“We’re elated that the beloved Lufia series will be making its triumphant return with Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals later this year” said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume. “We know players are going to be excited about this title when they get their first peek at it at E3 next month.”
The Sinistrals, the four legendary harbingers of doom, are out to resurrect the ultimate evil and bring the world to its knees. It’s up to the fiery monster hunter Maxim and his eclectic band of adventurers to put a stop to them once and for all. Their adventures will take them across an expansive world packed with dangerous enemies, powerful items, and diabolical puzzles!
This action RPG features six playable characters to choose from, each with their own special abilities and attacks. Players will need to master them all if they want to stand a chance against the game’s fierce enemies and towering bosses that fill both screens!
