A throwback to such '80s games as The Legend of Zelda and Dragon Warrior, 3D Dot Game Heroes is an action role-playing game starring a protagonist comprised entirely of blocks or 3D pixels. Custom design your hero from scratch or edit an existing model for a more personal touch. You'll then journey to the land of Dotnia Kingdom to retrieve six protective orbs lurking within monster-infested dungeons. Each 3D dungeon is viewed from an isometric perspective and features treasure chests, helpful items, and other secrets. Use your sword, bombs, magic, and other items in your inventory to defeat an assortment of block-shaped creatures while listening to music evoking the style and sound found on 8-bit platforms. Take a break from your adventures with one of three mini-games: the Breakout-inspired "Blockout," a racing game known as "Dash Circuit," and a strategy game called "Block Defense."

Features:

• Ultimate Retro Love Letter: Seamlessly fusing new and old, the golden era of gaming is felt in every detail of this lovingly-crafted adventure. Eye-popping visuals capture the nostalgic charm of pixel graphics in cutting edge 3D. Simple, but deep action-adventure gameplay is a throwback to the 8-bit era. Veterans will find references and jokes that pay homage to the great games of yore.
• Awe and Adventure Live Again: Embark on the next generation of classic exploration and discovery in a grand story-based quest. A hero sets out to gain the power of the six sages and the six orbs that protected the kingdom of Dotnia, which now stands on the verge of destruction.
• Customise your Hero: When pixels are your building blocks, the possibilities are unlimited. Freely edit the look of your character, or design one completely from scratch, and then trade designs with friends via a compatible USB storage device. Your hero's blade is also upgradeable, letting you add length and width to create a sword that fills the whole screen!
