Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja Returns Set For US Release: July 22

Akira_EX | April 17, 2008 | Press Release | DS 
The sequel to the original Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja, Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja Returns will release on the DS this summer, as announced by Atlus U.S.A. in a press release yesterday. The game's developer will once again be Success.

For those unfamiliar with the original, Izuna is a roguelike, much in the vein of games like the Mystery Dungeon series. Players will explore randomly-generated dungeons with Izuna, in a turn-based system where any movement done by the player will result in enemies moving also. Izuna 2 boasts a TAG team system, allowing the player to take two more party members into dungeons along with Izuna, and also be able to perform combination attacks. There is also more content that is expected of any sequel.

Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja Returns is set for release July 22, unfortunately sent to die against Final Fantasy IV DS.

About Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja Returns
Izuna and her gang are back—and just in time for a wedding! Lured by the promise of free food (Why else would Izuna attend?), the festive event becomes a puzzling mystery when Izuna's sidekick Shino suddenly disappears, off in search of her long-lost sister. And making matters worse, the foreign gods have also arrived on Japanese soil, and they aren't very happy with the meddlesome, unemployed ninja. With disgruntled deities on the warpath, a sidekick to track down, and a missing sister out in the wild, it could all shape up to be one of Izuna's more exciting adventures. Sounds like a lot of work for a girl out of a job!

Key Features
• Play hardcore with Izuna – Get your action on by combining down-and-dirty old-school dungeon RPG play with the cutest girl ninja ever, for a “stimulating” RPG experience.
• TAG team system – Take any two party members into a dungeon for a greater range of combat strategy. Combine power to unleash fierce TAG attacks.
• More Izuna than ever before – Get everything that made the original game a fan favorite, plus more! This bigger, better package includes more dungeons, items, enemies, characters, as well as a wacky new story, side-quests, and TAG team system.

    Hmm, perhaps linking to a game's page would be better in instances like these, like this.

    Well written though.

      Nope, that specific article's better because this and FFIV DS have the same release date.

    I almost picked up the first Izuna, but I decided against it. If it's good enough for a second to be made, though, perhaps I should rethink my stance on the game.

    Should be able to get it at a good price now, too.
