Non-japanese asian countries which produce videogames have been trying to coopt the japanese legacy of 2D gaming formulas ever since the 3D boom, with the D&D series from Capcom being one of the most important references. When speaking about Korea, of course, we're talking about online PC games, and one of the most successful Korean online RPGs for the past year was the Shadow-over-Mystara-inspired-but-poorly-named 'Dungeon & Fighter' from Sigongsa. NHN wants this game in japan, now that japan doesn't develop many games with 2D graphics anymore, and they're announcing a closed test for this month. An open beta test will happen in June. The japanese version will be called 'Arad Senki', and you can see some screenshots at their actual resolution, as usual, at Game Watch.
