– Scoring points is an aspect of the game
– Your main objective to reach the top of a stage
– Enemies and obstacles will be in your way
– Life meter
– Taking too many hits forces you to start the stage over

Cube Roots’ indie puzzle game Dungeon Hearts originally came out a couple of years ago. It’s now in the works for Wii U with a few new elements.

First, here’s a brief overview of the actual game:

“Dungeon Hearts fuses the strategy and pattern matching of puzzle games with the kinetic pace of action games. Align magical runes as they flow along the Fatestream to attack, defend, and conjure magic in frenetic battles against a bestiary of fantastic creatures out to use those same runes against you. Chain together multiple attacks and unleash powerful combos or call upon each hero’s special attacks to devastate your enemies to survive the twists and turns of Dungeon Heart’s evolving gameplay. Strike down all that stand in your way and level up your brave warriors as each foe grows more powerful than the last, culminating in the final battle with The Dark One himself!”

On Wii U, the title will be known as “Dungeon Hearts DX”. The team will be including new art, characters, and music, all of which are exclusive to this new release. Fans can also expect interface changes, balance to the combat, and a hub area to listen to music and manage your party. Feedback and criticism from the original Dungeon Hearts is also being considered.

Check out one of the earlier trailers for Dungeon Hearts below. The new “DX” version hits the eShop this winter.
