Outside of dungeons, players manage a town using monsters as allies. You’ll invade other lands, maybe even form an alliance with another player in order to dominate the game’s virtual world.
Samurai & Dragons is in development for PlayStation Vita, but doesn’t have a set release date in Japan.

As detailed by Gamespot, it's an action/strategy hybrid that sees you crawling through dungeons, dispatching monsters and collecting loot. You'll then have to spend all that cash on building up your city and training an army.
It's online-enabled, allowing you to either form alliances with other players or invade their cities, depending on which side of the bed you got out of that day.
It's being produced by Masayoshi Kikuchi who previously worked on Yakuza, Jet Set Radio Future and Panzer Dragoon.
There's no word on a release date yet and the original announcement was made in Japanese magazine Famitsu, so a European localisation isn't exactly locked-in.
Aside from the 3D sections looking lame, this seems likely to continue the PSP tradition of small, quirky titles that are worth playing if you are looking for something different.
