Idea Factory Takes A Stab At 2D Action Games

When I hear the name Idea Factory I think of visual novels and Spectral something strategy RPGs. Sometimes innuendo infused maid games on the Wii, but not action games. Anything, but action games.

Now, let me introduce you to an action game being developed by Idea Factory and Vingt et un Systems – they worked with D3 on the Adventures of Darwin. The title translates into “I Will Protect You” so we’ll use with that. Aside from the name we don’t know much about Idea Factory’s DS project which is scheduled to come out in Japan on May 12 under their new Otomate Forte label. The screenshots make I Will Protect You look like kind of like a low-res 3D Metroidvania game with map marking, though. Might be interesting especially considering publishers like Yuke’s are picking up Idea Factory’s stuff these days.
