Atlus’ ever-expanding library of quirky, Japanese-flavored games has grown a little today, as Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja is now available for the Nintendo DS. In the game, you play as a female ninja, Izuna, who angers the gods, getting a town cursed in the process, and must find a way to right those wrongs. We’ve included the oh-so-brief press release below:

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA — FEBRUARY 20, 2007 — Atlus U.S.A., Inc., a leading publisher of interactive entertainment, today announced that Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja has shipped to North American retailers and is in stores now!

Finally, a dungeon RPG strong enough for a man… but played as a hot chick! Bust out those nunchucks and get back to the old school, hardcore, monster bashing we all grew up on! See if you have what it takes to conquer the impossible levels and gruesome bosses. After all, does it get any better than the feeling of cold steel at the palm of your hands?

Here's just a taste of what's being said about this eagerly-awaited title!

“Izuna is a retro-esque action-RPG that stays true to its heritage of fast-paced gameplay, while injecting a much-needed dose of humor along the way, something that is often in short supply in RPGs.” ~GameAlmighty

“ The joy is in the witty comedy. It's not just that the lines are funny, but that they seem completely out of place in this Japanese dungeon RPG. It acts almost as a spoof and is a welcome change to a genre filled with the same stories year after year. ”
~Nintendojo

Izuna Key Features:

* Deep, challenging labyrinths that change every time you enter!
* Use Talismans to cast spells or power up your equipment!
* Customize and power up your weapons, which gain strength over time!
