In my continuing effort to post Atlus news, today they announced a new dungeon-designing, monster-hunting RPG adventure titled Master of the Monster Lair for Nintendo DS. This game looks as cool as ever and mixes your traditional RPG madness with what looks to be some cool strategy.

Dream it, design it, dig it… then explore it! In order to trap the freeloading monsters of South Arc, you must become the architect of a vast labyrinth, crafting intricate levels designed to lure and capture all manner of beasts. Level after level, every monster disposed of offers the promise of new weapons and items, allowing for more unique dungeon designs and more efficient means of ridding South Arc of the nasty baddies.

Master of the Monster Lair is set to hit shelves on September 2. Check out the screenshots in the gallery below.
