The game is currently available for PC via Steam.
Read details on the game below:
Classic hardcore gameplay. Experience a deep dungeon crawling RPG. This game was created by the main staff that worked on the popular RPG series back in 2006. In this game, players can experience many different dungeon crawler RPGs using the same base system. Available for the first time on Steam and outside of Japan with enhancements to the user interface and much more. Official scenarios seen for the first time each with dozens of hours of gameplay.
Gameplay that is easy to get into. Players will create their own character—much like a traditional tabletop RPG—and venture into a grid based dungeon with a party of up to six members. The turn based combat mixes the simplicity of Japanese RPGs with the difficulty of tabletop RPGs. (Our internal dice is not rigged!) Your character can be lost forever and saves will be overwritten. Get ready for a classic hardcore adventure.
Newly Improved Version
The Steam version has been overhauled using the Unity engine. While the core gameplay is left unchanged from 2006, the user interface has been improved for a modern audience.

It's nice to see that this game is coming to Switch. I'm surprised that it's not coming to PS5 and XSX as well though.
I'm surprise it not on PS5 but really you're surprise it not on xblock? Ok....
You do realize XSX has sold around 30 million units so yes, it's still worth it for devs to port games to it.
Yeah, only if it shooters, since that all xbot kids buys...
The massive sales of the Forza games clearly prove you wrong and that's just one example.
You mean that is one and only example!!
And it hilarious you count rental pass as sales lmao
No I meant actual sales. The main series has sold 16 million copies as of April 2021.
Every time this series comes i have to be baffled that the mainline series has been dead for over 2 decades but it's recieved a lot of japanese-made spinoffs. Maybe at some point 100 years from now there could be a wizardy 9
