Atlus U.S.A., Inc., the publisher with an honorary doctorate in Exploration and Monster Hunting, today announced that it has secured the North American publishing rights for Class of Heroes for PSP system, a dungeon-crawling RPG in the great tradition of first-person adventures like Etrian Odyssey.  Class is now in session; today’s lesson?  How to explore more than 75 levels of deadly catacombs, slay hundreds of varieties of vile monsters, master the intricate art of alchemy, and uncover over 1300 items, priceless treasures, and rare artifacts.  And some arithmetic, at the very end.  If there’s time left. 
 
The characters you craft and those you choose to take with you into the dark, dreary depths may be the difference between walking out a hero, clutching prizes and riches beyond imagination, or being carried out a zero, your stiff fist still feebly clutching your sword.  Mysterious dungeons await you, first-year.  An early demise looms around every dark corner.  Don’t forget to finish your homework.
 
Class of Heroes hits the books April 7, 2009 with an MSRP of $39.99.
