News: Level-5's New Game Guild 01 Unveiled

Guild 01 is already sounding great: four games in one made by some of Japan's biggest creators for one of its most promising studios.

Earlier in the year Level-5 promised a number of surprises and they've certainly not failed to live up to the promise with their newly announced game. Guild 01 is a title that will be released on the Nintendo 3DS that sees creators such as Suda 51 (No More Heroes, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and killer7), Yoot Saito (Odama and the Dreamcast's Seaman), Yoshiyuki Hirai and Matsuno join together to create one already promising game.

More details about Guild 01 are expected at Level 5 World, which takes place this weekend in Japan. However, Andriasang does have a few details already, including information about the four different games that will make up Guild 01. The four games are as follows:

Air Porter
A simulation title from Yoot Saito that sees you take on the role of a baggage handler supervisor at an airport. You must ensure air planes leave on time and if you do a good enough job the airport will expand, resulting in more passengers and allowing you to purchase more planes. The top achievement you can get in this will be seeing Air Force One touch down, which is when you know you've done a good job!

Crimson Shroud
Not much is currently known about this title from Matsuno, famous for his work on Final Fantasy XII, but it is described as a "darkness fantasy" in which you play as a "chaser" who hunts people down. The story is believed to take place 1,000 years in the past in a world without magic, although during the game you discover how magic became commonplace.

Kaiho Shojo
Suda 51 is no stranger to violence and this 3D shooter looks set to continue this tradition. Set 100 years in the future this game sees you control a robot known as 'Kaihoki' (which translates to 'liberation machine') and destroy demon beasts. Humans have harvested a new natural energy called Shinjuu but an invading country has stolen the source of the energy and occupies Japan. You play as President Shoko, a school girl who became the president after her father, the elected president, was assassinated, and use your Kaihoki to defeat threats.

Rental Bukiya de Omasse
Taking a different perspective on the RPG genre Yoshiyuki Hirai, a Japanese comedian, is creating a title that sees you play the role of a father and son team that own a weapon shop and you must create weapons to rent out to RPG adventurers. You are in charge of choosing weapons for the heroes, which could affect their quest so you must choose wisely. With the aid of the 'Donai Natter' you are able to monitor the heroes' quests and see if you'll be getting your weapons back.
