News has come in from Cubed3, saying that Altus has just announced that their new title, Rondo of Swords, will be coming to the DS.

The game’s story takes place in the Kingdom of Bretwalde, which has just lost their king unexpectedly. At the same time, the Grand Meir Empire mounts an attack in order to take advantage of this sudden loss. The capital city of Egvard falls easily, and it’s your duty as Spanta to save the kingdom and restore peace to the land using a sacred blade which has been bestowed to you.
The games features include…

• Unique combat system – Use route maneuvers to hit all enemies in your path and enhance your attack or defense. Manage your Momentum Counter to gain stat bonuses and control who your enemies target!
• Deep party management system – With the Errand System, you have the option to send idle party members off to run errands or go on quests to level up on their own, which will become crucial to your party’s survival in later stages.
• Customizable skill options – Skills are not just skills, but dynamic strategic devices that you choose to build or not. Use skill points to either buy more skills or strengthen what you have!
• Multiple storylines and endings – Your decisions will affect the course of the game, determining the character you become and the ending you’ll receive.

We’ll have more info on the game as it reaches its TBA release date.
