Treasure-hunting RPG slated to launch this spring

Square Enix announced a smartphone treasure-hunting RPG titled Last Idea on Friday. Service is slated to launch for iOS and Android this spring.

The game follows a novice treasure hunter, the protagonist, and a mysterious amnesiac girl named Lucrecia. In the beginning, the protagonist goes to an abandoned castle on an island to follow a lead given to him by a fortune teller friend. Upon his arrival, an earthquake hits and darkness comes out from the ground and shrouds the sky. Monsters lay siege to the castle, and there's a girl on the balcony who looks like she is about to be attacked.

The game will feature a hack-and-slash battle system using the "smart command" interface, which has patents pending.

Studio A-Cat is producing animation for the game. The main character designer is Gaō, and Shota Kageyama is composing the music. The voice cast includes Manaka Iwami , Aya Suzaki , Kento Fujinuma , Ai Kakuma , Minami Takahashi , Keiji Fujiwara , Minami Takayama , Yuko Minaguchi , Hikaru Midorikawa , Rie Kugimiya , Jun Fukuyama , Yumi Sudou , Sakura Nakamura , Mitsuki Nakae , Satoru Murakami , and Tasuku Kida , among others.
