A new game-play video for the Nintendo 3DS port of Atelier Rorona shows off the game's grid-based combat.

Fans will recognize this as a significant deviation from the standard turn-based formula the series has mostly followed until this point. The system seems fairly standard, and players will be able to target enemies using the bottom touch screen. The cutesy, deformed versions of the characters are also an interesting change of pace.
