Playdeck’s new project, Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians, could end up hitting 3DS. The game’s Kickstarter has an admittedly high $2.8 million stretch goal for Nintendo’s portable, but it’s doable with a full month of funding.

Unsung Story is a tactical RPG designed by Yasumi Matsuno. Matsuno’s previous works include Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII, MadWorld, and Crimson Shroud (from Guild01).

You can check out the official Kickstarter page here. The project will need to reach $600,000 by February 14 so that it can secure funding for a PC release.
