Acquire released some new bits of information regarding its upcoming PlayStation Portable game Ken to Mahou to Gakuen Mono. As previously reported, the original title is a PlayStation Portable-based 3D dungeon crawler. The game is split in two parts: on the school campus players will prepare their characters for the dungeon crawling. Character creation, party and quest selection, purchase of equipment and items, as well as recovery of health are the main activities during the school part. After the player has assembled his active party of up to six characters and selected a certain quest, the party heads for the dungeon. While quests can be freely selected, not all dungeons are accessible right away. As characters gain experience and level up, new dungeons will become accessible, though. In the dungeons, enemies won't be visible on screen before a battle commences. Instead encounters are initiated randomly.

Ken to Mahou to Gakuen Mono will be available in Japan in June 26th for 4,800 yen ($46.34 USD).
