Cross Platform RPG Wonder Flick Heading to Wii U

Level-5 have announced a new cross-platform RPG with shared save data called Wonder Flick.

Pitched as a "100-hour" RPG, the project is in development for a plethora of platforms including Xbox One, Wii U, PS4, PS Vita, iOS and Android. As with most RPGs, players will be able to create a character, visit towns, conquer dungeons and battle through hordes of monsters. Interestingly, save packs can be shared across each platform and there will be platform-exclusive dungeons too.

Why the name, Wonder Flick? The concept uses touch-screen finger flicking combat in battle.

Nobuo Uematsu will be lending his musical skills to the project, with Level-5 boss Akihiro Hino sitting in the producer/director's seat. Bosses will be designed by Tokuzo Nagano, who has worked on Professor Layton, with character design by Final Fantasy XIII's Nao Ikeda.

The game will initially launch on smartphones this November as a free-to-play title, with console releases planned for next year.

More details can be seen on the project's official website.
