Overview
Guild 01 is Level 5's latest project, and was announced on their live show October 15th. This 3DS title actually contains four complete, but very different, games. Behind each game is a team led by different well-known names from the Japanese entertainment industry. Level 5 has announced that Guild 01 is supposed to be the first in a series of game collections and they are planning the following releases.
Games
Kaihou Shoujo
Literally translated to 'Liberation Girl' (localized as Liberation Maiden), the first game is a shooter by Suda 51. It is set a hundred years in the future, in 'New Japan', where some 'invaders' are trying to destroy the revolutionary new natural resource called Shinjuu and occupying the country. The player steps into the shoes of the current president of New Japan, a high school girl with the last name Shoko, and has to repel the invaders and liberate your country with their flying mecha. The game was developed by Suda 51 and Grasshopper Manufacture.
Rental Bukiya de Omasse
Rental Bukiya de Omasse (eventually localized as Weapon Shop de Omasse) is a twist on the classic JRPG-setting - players take on the role of father and son who own a weapon shop, and you rent weapons to various heroic adventurers. It is up to them to make sure the adventurers get the best and most suitable weapons, or they will perish on their quests, the father and son will never see their weapons again and consequently loose money. Yoshituki Hirai, part of the Japanese comedy group American Zarigani, is leading this project.
Air Porter
Air Porter (Aero Porter) is what appears to be an airport-luggage-handling sim. Players will need to make sure everything runs smoothly and that planes will arrive and depart on time, be rewarder through the game's combo system and expand, improve and customise your airport. If the player gets good enough, they will be asked to serve Air Force One. This game is made by Yukata 'Yoot' Saito.
Crimson Shroud
Crimson Shroud is a table-top RPG with a dark fantasy setting and includes actual dice rolling, and it is being directed by Yasumi Matsuno, who was recently recruited by Level 5.
