It certainly seems like Majesco is singlehandedly trying to provide a substantial 2009 DS game library. Add Dawn of Heroes to the list of forthcoming games that also includes Gardening Mama, Powerbike, Puffins: Island Adventure, Drama Queens and Rollin’ Rascals. It’s looking like Dawn of Heroes, which is a strategic RPG, will be out sometime in Summer 2009.

The story’s fairly typical fare for an RPG. The Kingdom of Brimthule has fallen and divided after its ruler, King Leroy, died sealing up the vicious Ragnakore. So now, players create a party to defeat the monsters, reunite the kingdom and make sure Ragnakore and his army is banished for good.

It looks like a pretty in-depth game though. There are over 50 missions, including side quests, there’s 25 different classes and factions to build up your party with, 12 enemy factions, touch screen controls, and both local and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection options where you can battle friends or trade items.

It certainly sounds good, but I’m a bit skeptical about the game’s appearance. As you can see from the screenshot at the right, it looks a bit, oh what’s the word, blurred. Everything seems to blend together, and the character models aren’t very striking. But who knows, this could just be an isolated incident, caused by the overwhelming about of greenery.
