The tactical J-RPG Lost Dimension has been released for the PC:

Lost Dimension

Taking place In the near future with the world in ruin, a terrorist mastermind known only as ‘The End’ threatens humanity with nuclear armageddon. A special task force of eleven young psychics each with incredible superhuman abilities and a mysterious past, are the only ones who can stop him. Together, they must climb The End’s formidable tower one floor at a time and bring him to justice. Their psychic powers will be put to the test against the sinister occupants of each floor as they race against the clock – and the traitors hidden within their ranks – to save the planet.

As team leader, Sho Kasugai, you’ll need to master a deep-but-intuitive combat system, build relationships with your squad and use logic to discern the traitor on each floor to progress. Only Sho has the skills necessary to weed out the traitors and defeat The End.

• Deep turn-based tactical RPG combat system. Defer turns, assist your allies and combine your team’s incredible psychic powers to gain victory!
