Moero Chronicle Hyper coming west this spring

This week, Moero Chronicle Hyper released on the Japanese Switch eShop. While it was assumed that an English localization would be unlikely, that will actually be happening after all.

Idea Factory announced today that it will be bringing the dungeon-crawling RPG to the west. Moero Chronicle Hyper launches this spring in North America and Europe.

Here’s the full announcement and screenshots:

We are happy to announce that the dungeon-crawling RPG Moero Chronicle Hyper will now be arriving on the Nintendo Switch via Nintendo eShop in Spring 2019! The Switch release will be remastered in HD and will include the Vibration function for the “Bumping Scratch” session, new items to increase stats, an Autopilot Mode, which allows players to point on a map and automatically brings you to the player’s destination, and all original art and event CGs released in the PlayStation Vita and Steam version!.

About the Game
Originally released as Moero Chronicle in Japan and Asia on the PlayStation Vita system, followed by a 2017 Western release on Steam, this dungeon-crawling RPG asks, “How cute can a monster be?” Fight through dungeons, recruiting Monster Girls, and building relationships with them in order to solve the mystery afflicting the denizens of Monstopia!

Story
Io is a simple young man with only one problem – he can’t talk to women! Any attempts at conversation are destroyed by his perverted mind, except when he talks to Lilia, his best friend and a Monster Girl.

However, that becomes the least of his problems when he’s tasked with going to the dangerous region of Monstopia. There, Monster Girls have begun rampaging, causing wanton pain and destruction. Have the Monster Girls simply gone mad, or is there an even greater evil afoot…?

Find out in this moe-filled dungeon RPG!
