About the game

Previously, Entergram has confirmed the game's full name will be Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! ~Kibou no Meikyuu to Tsudoishi Boukenshatachi~. I know the game took the inspiration from the light novel, anime and manga series. But what's the point is that name, Entergram?

That name impressively long, even for a weeb like me! So to make it easier to remember for you, I will provide you with the English translation for the game. It's KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World! Labyrinth of Hope and the Gathering of Adventurers!

For the sake of the readers, starting from here, I will use the name Konosuba for short!

KonoSuba is a dungeon crawler in the famous franchise of the light novel. It features the same mechanics as other dungeon crawlers, where you'll command a group and explore the dungeon, level up and gain items.

You can buy items at Wiz's shop as well!

There has been little specific information about the gameplay, but from the trailer, we can see that the game will have the first-person gameplay. You'll explore the dungeon with only four-direction, and encounter monsters on the way.

From there, your members to fight in turn-based combat, and it seems that every member's skills will have separated anime cut-in. And it's great to see the game to be fully voiced by the anime's voice actors as well.

The trailer also shows us a brief look at the skill learning menu and item purchasing as well. However, everything is in Japanese, so we can't infer anything from it yet.

The experience seems a bit lackluster, but it's still a great game to try for Konosuba's fans.

Brief introduction about Konosuba

If you haven't read anything from light novel or manga, or watched some anime episodes of Konosuba, then here's the quick guide for you.

The game will feature the story of Kazuma - a weeb that has died in an accident in the real world. He was then provided a second life in a fantasy world, as a hero on duty to defeat the grand devil. However, he doesn't have any superpower or legendary weapons. The only thing he has is a stupidly high luck stat.

Introducing Kazuma Katou - the main protagonist of the franchise

You'll control Kazuma and lead the team comprising of Aqua - the useless water goddess; Megumin - a red devil that can only use one explosion spell per day; Darkness - a masochist crusader and Yunyun - the no-brainer with big breast.
