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.
