NCS Product Synopsis
Update: July 08, 2010
«©NCSX» Step into the shoes of a hero named Kotaro or a heroine named Canna who has been summoned into a world in need of their help. In the land of Zikande, the denizens are not bound by the strictures of time and they do as they please without minding the minutes. However, one day the oppression of time drops on Zikande and everyone falls under its unyielding influence. Due to the sudden appearance of time, the people of Zikande are now literally restricted and they call for a hero from elsewhere to help in their hour of need.

   Zikande Fantasia was developed by the crew that brought Yuusha 30 to the world in 2009 and the game plays in bite-sized increments. The developer touts the ability to set your time limit for playing the game along with other parameters such as enemy boss HP, treasure chest volume, and more - for example, if your daily commute is about 10 minutes, you can set the time parameter for the game to 10 minutes and expect to conclude the adventure within that frame. Similar to Yuusha 30, the game takes place on a 2D world built with graphics that hearken back to the days of 8-bit consoles. The controls are simple and the questing won't tax the mental prowess of most gamers. The world of Zikande is viewed from a side perspective where the hero moves from left to right while scaling obstacles and smacking enemies with a broadsword. The remaining amount of time for every game counts down from the upper left corner of the screen so that players are cognizant of when the adventure ends.
