Sand Land is a brand-new JRPG based upon a manga from the designer of Dragon Ball, however it certain seem like it’s attracted even more ideas from the experiences of Paul Atreides than Goku.
In a hands-on session, Rock Paper Shotgun explained a “greedy king hogging the land’s water supply and leaving everyone in his kingdom to scrap it out for every last drop of agua mineral.” If that’s not quickly similar to Dune’s Arrakis and also the money grubbing Baron Harkkonen, I do not understand what is.
The resemblances do not quit there, as both RPS and also Gamespot inform of their problems handling the below ground beasts that call the titular sandy land their house. Vaguely pooch, slightly reptilian, and also plainly component giant-centipede, these animals delve under the sand, jumping bent on ferret out your lorries. Apparently they’re extremely terrifying to tackle, and also once more I’m thinking about Dune and also the frightening sandworms. Whether we’ll be surfing them throughout the dunes at any type of factor stays to be seen, although that does appear to be an enjoyable method to navigate.
That obvious ideas possibly will not come as a shock to professional Sand Land followers – besides, the manga has actually been subjugating for some time currently. To be reasonable, probably it’s not that much of a shock in all. It’s not as though this will certainly be the initial desert story to include an absence of water and also below ground scaries past our understanding – I’m considering Tatooine’s Sarlacc Pit, for something.
Sand Land was revealed at Summer Games Fest, and also while it does not have a launch day yet, we do understand it’s involving computer and also gaming consoles.
Sand Land fans are already campaigning for a throwaway joke from the manga to make it into the game.
