A new RPG is being prepared for the PSP. Yuusha no Kuse ni Namaiki da (or as IGN has translated it "For a Hero, You're Pretty Impudent") has you playing as the villain. As the Demon Lord, you must create a dungeon and dispatch monsters to get rid of any heroes that try to get in your way. Apparently, all fighting is done automatically, which makes this game stray very far from its RPG roots. Fascinating.
Over time, your dungeon and minions will grow stronger -- but so will your opponents. This inventive twist on RPG gameplay is set to hit Japan on December 6th. We can't wait to find out more.

Sounds like Dungeon Keeper. One of the best IP's that's vanished.
This doesn't look like it would be as good as DK was, but I'll keep an eye open for it.

*sigh*
This 'inventive twist' was done like, ten years ago by Bullfrog. It was called Dungeon Keeper,a PC game, and it was made of equal parts evil and awesome.
I miss dungeon keeper...

That could be a very interesting premise. I just hope it comes to America. Learning Japanese is hard.

Based on that screen and the fact the fighting is automatic I think this will play more like a puzzle game than an RPG.
