LEVEL-5 Reveals Two New RPG's! Cardboard Senki and Ushiro

[Shin-Ra]

Both reveals come from this week's Famitsu mag, both are due for release in 2009:

Level-5 announces Ushiro for the PSP

• Horror RPG where a shinigami clings on behind people that have exhausted their lives to experience their lives.
• As a shinigami you observe, possess, and fulfil the wishes of the person you're attached to.
• There's a scene where you fight a monster that is an embodiment of a person's malice.

Level-5 announces Cardboard Senki for the PSP

• Brand new type of RPG.
• You play as a small combat robot called LBX.
• You can buy new parts and models for LBX at stores to upgrade and outfit the robot.

Both sound like they could be interesting. I could use a new PSP RPG.

[MajorZero]

The horror RPG sounds interesting.

[Marine Mike]

Any word if they'll hit the US as well?

[Luis_A51]

Very interesting. I could use RPGs for my PSP. Hopefully these and Agito are great.
