Tales of the Tempest is the latest in Namco's long-runnning 'Tales' RPG series, which is due out for DS in Japan next month. Avid importer or not, be sure to check out our +12 new screens of attractiveness.

Tempest certainly looks pretty, which is to be expected - all recent Tales games on a variety of formats have packed in some truly colourful environments - and will feature a real-time combat system centred on the use of the stylus.
Still, while it's technically a new Tales, it's very much an old tale, revolving around monsters attacking a quaint little village and a teenage boy who sets off on a voyage of discovery and spiky haircuts. So, expect lovely character designs, but not lovely characters.
