$30, Nintendo 3DS

CTR Review

In the story, war has raged for more than 100 years until powerful Lords brought peace to the land. When one of the Lords, Ataraxis, ruler of the city of Nexus, is taken ill by a deadly curse, this peace is threatened. A call is sent out promising rewards to anyone who finds a cure, and four mercenaries answer the call. Players can play as Gunslinger, Alchitect, Vindicator or Savage, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and motivations. For example, one uses forbidden spells to rain death on her foes, one has guns and bombs to blast his way through, another has a mighty sword capable of slicing through entire packs of enemies, and one other gains strength from savagely tearing through anything that stands in his way with brutal, bladed fists. Players can trade rare and powerful items through an in-game shop which has an inventory updated through StreetPass. Players can connect their 3DS console online to download fresh daily challenges which allow you to earn rewards as you play. Players can also connect locally or over the internet to fight alongside their friends in cooperative multiplayer. Developed by n-Space for Square Enix.
