Nintendo Announces New RPG Ever Oasis

Nintendo have revealed a new IP during their Treehouse live segment at E3.

Developed by Grezzo, the team behind 3DS games such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D and Tri Force Heroes, Ever Oasis sees players take control of the anthropomorphic Tethu in an Egyptian-inspired game that blends together the action, RPG and simulation genres.

Tethu is in charge of his own oasis in the middle of a dangerous desert and as a result has to deal with a wealth of foreign visitors from a number of tribes and species, such as the bird-like Noots, or a group of dragon lizards. In order to keep them happy and to keep the oasis' economy booming, he's also in charge of keeping shops well-stocked and taking commission from them in order to line his own pocket.

Of course, it's not all about what goes on inside the oasis, but also what lies beyond: within the desert lie a number of dungeons into which Tethu can take a number of allies to solve puzzles, fight enemies, and beat bosses. The combat, in which the player can switch between three different characters, will take up the meat of the game.

Ever Oasis will be released exclusively on Nintendo 3DS in 2017. Check out the trailer below:
