Atlus Encourages Royal Thieving

The lovely folks at Atlus have nabbed the rights to Steal Princess, a DS genre bending title, and plan on releasing it in the states near the end of March, The game follows the adventures of Anise, a thief charged with freeing a captured prince from a band of demons or face execution at the hands of the king. You'll guide Anise through over 150 platforming levels solving puzzles along the way and battling the forces of darkness, because that's what a girl was meant to do. Creative gamers will have the ability to create and share levels with their friends, so create the most devious level to break even the most fearless adventurer you know.
Once again, the DS proves to be the home of new experiences, and Japanese developers seem to be enjoying a new level of creativity on the hand held. We'll keep you posted as the March 24th release date draws near.
