Atlus U.S.A. announced that Baroque, the new dungeon-crawling action RPG for Wii and PlayStation 2, is now in stores across North America. Dark, challenging and immersive, Baroque is a pure RPG experience, highly regarded by Japanese gamers and now finally available for Western audiences to enjoy.

In Baroque, you awaken to find the world in ruin, your heart beset with unexplained guilt. A cataclysm has destroyed the cities and empires of men and disfigured the spirit of humanity. In this nightmare, it falls to you to descend a mysterious tower in search of absolution. Battle merciless foes through treacherous dungeons, scour for new items to aid you in your travels, and unlock the secrets of a devastated land. You will find death in the depths, yet learn that death is not the end of the story; in the twisted world of Baroque, it is only the beginning.

With its many ever-changing levels, each teeming with perverse monsters and tormented souls, the world of Baroque is a frightening and unforgiving realm. If that isn't enough, death is not the end - take part in a unique story progression system in which the end of your life only serves to drive the adventure forward. Each time your character dies, more secrets about the forsaken world are revealed! In addition, the player has full control over how they shape their character and how they play the game. Find and equip a vast assortment of weapons and items, some with a variety of uses. Acquire powerful stat-boosting parasites and combine them to multiply their potency. Only the resourceful will survive!

God I want this game so much. Why must I be so devoid of money? Truly I hath been forsaken. The sad part is that there's been no reviews for this game that I'm aware of. Maybe I should hunt down some of the older reviews for its original release to find out some more details. It just looks and sounds so intruiging.
