Izuna in stores, go and check it out

Atlus released Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja in stores today and it’s the underdog compared to big titles like Crackdown and Virtua Fighter 5. Izuna is a rogue-like game for the DS where you guide the spunky female ninja protagonist to restore her clan. I’ve talked a lot about Izuna before (if you missed the previous coverage see it here and here) and it’s worth a look. Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja doesn’t take advantage of any of the DS’ unique features except using the top screen as a map. But it doesn’t have to, Izuna’s success relies on its funny dialogue and hardcore dungeons. If you want a challenge or are into rogue games get it before it becomes rare.
