Majesco has just rolled out the AWAY Shuffle Dungeon for the DS, where you step into the shoes of a young hero known as “Sword”. Sword is unfortunately, the only remaining resident left of the once busy Webb Village, as he goes about the task of rescuing as many kidnapped townsfolk as possible from a mysterious force that has been spiriting folk away. Final Fantasy fans will definitely remember the name Nobuo Eumatsu as he goes about with the game’s soundtrack - you can be sure that this will be a great sounding game by any means! On to more details after the jump.

In AWAY Shuffle Dungeon, an unknown force has stripped Webb Village of its residents, and now the sole heroic survivor, Sword, must rescue the stolen villagers from the ominous dungeons as he strives to expose and defeat the mysterious thief. Sword must first collect and use various objects including musical instruments to reveal the secret dungeons where prisoners are being held. But successfully saving them is another challenge altogether given a unique timed “shuffle” mechanic that reconfigures the dungeon prisons and hurts Sword and any survivors still caught within when the time runs out. Saved villagers will lend assistance to Sword’s quest, as will the magical ‘Fupongs’ and dungeon treasure he finds that lets him shop in the village specialty stores for armor, weapons, health, medical aid and more.

There is no word on pricing, but AWAY Shuffle Dungeon will hit retail stores sometime this fall. Best set aside $40 or so if you want to pick this title up.
