Deep Labyrinth Background

A boy and his dog, a drive through the countryside, a mysterious castle—and an epic adventure. Explore a world populated by magical creatures and monstrous foes. Descend, if you dare, into the dark heart of the Deep Labyrinth!

The first 3D first-person RPG for cellular phones has become the first 3D first-person RPG for the Nintendo DS, taking full advantage of the DS's dual screens and touch screen in the process. Players explore dozens of dungeon levels, fighting hordes of hideous monsters in real-time with swords and spells. Two engrossing scenarios weave two amazing stories--one for newcomers to role-playing games, and one for RPG veterans.
