New trailer shows off Heroes of Ruin’s heroes and ruins

Here’s
another look at Square Enix and n-Space’s upcoming 3DS
action-adventure title, Heroes of Ruin. The game looks to fill the
vacancy created by a lack of Diablo-style dungeon-crawlers on
Nintendo’s device. From the looks of this trailer, it’ll be doing it
with a good solid action-battler in the mold of Dungeon Siege or
Square Enix’s own Final Fantasy XII.

Besides
the online support offered by Heroes of Ruin’s voice chat and
SpotPass support, the game will also include StreetPass features
which allow players to trade, buy and sell in-game items. It’s
shaping up as a title with the potential to provide 3DS players with
a deep, long-lasting challenge. The Spring-dated game is also, you’ll note, one of an
embarrassingly small list of titles to let you face off against
chunky-legged tribal shark-people, a genre of animals(?) sadly
neglected since the cancellation of Street Sharks.
