Atari today announced the development of Dungeons and Dragons: Tactics for the PlayStation Portable, marking the first time the highly- coveted Dungeons and Dragons license has ever graced a next-generation portable system. Dungeons and Dragons: Tactics authentically utilizes the DandD 3.5 rule-set created by Wizards of Coast and allows players to take a party of six adventurers into a wide variety of dangerous environments to experience deep and exciting turn-based action. Developed by Kuju Entertainment, Dungeons and Dragons: Tactics is not yet rated and is planned for a 2006 holiday season release.
Dungeons and Dragons: Tactics offers an original, intriguing Dungeons and Dragons storyline. Players take on the role of a mortal child caught in a conflict of two competing dragons striving for godhood. Alignment is critical, as it affects the end of the story and allows players to change from good to evil, or the other way around, depending on which quests they choose. Gamers will play through a series of adventures, completing various objectives along the way. Dungeons and Dragons: Tactics offers all the Dungeons and Dragons base character classes including Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer and Wizard. Five Prestige Classes are available, as are two Psionic classes, the Psion and the Psychic Warrior. Players will be able to customize their characters and store as many as their memory stick can handle.
