Petit Depotto’s Unholy Heights hitting the Japanese 3DS eShop this year
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Petit Depotto’s tower defense and apartment sim “Unholy Heights” is heading to the Japanese 3DS eShop. A release is planned for this year.
Here’s an overview of the game’s PC version:
It’s inevitable that rumors of an apartment building full of monsters would eventually reach the ears of the no-good humans. Would-be heroes, bloodthirsty pirates, cunning thieves and conniving mages all have their sights on The Devil’s gold! Knock on doors and call your residents to your side! They want a war? We’ll give ‘em a war!
As a side note, Playism has localized the PC release of Unholy Heights. That bodes well for the 3DS version coming over eventually.

The Moon Chronicles ROM is currently about 180MB. That's not too big, is it?

Watsham also said the final version going on up the eShop won’t be heavily compressed. Cut-scenes will feature minimal compression and max bandwidth.
@Vactro I agree. Don't worry, we're not compressing like crazy. The cut-scene videos have minimal compression and use maximum bandwidth. 🙂
