3D Dot Game Heroes venturing West

From Software's quirky, retro-styled action-adventure 3D Dot Game Heroes is heading West under Atlus' banner.

The US can expect the PS3 game on 11th May 2010, and Europeans may freely import due to the region-free nature of the console.

3D Dot Heroes looks like a LEGO-built remake of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and is designed to nod to the great action-adventures of old. Plus, there's a character customisation tool that enables heroes to be built from scratch and traded with friends.

3D Dot Game Heroes arrived in Japan earlier this month and we'll be reviewing the game on import soon.
