SouthPeak Interactive announced that adventure fans in Europe can officially get their retro fix because 3D Dot Game Heroes is available for the PlayStation 3 today.

“We’re delighted to be celebrating Dot-Day,” said Ed Blincoe, European marketing director, SouthPeak Games, while swinging a gigantic sword around. “The reaction among the gaming community has been fantastic and we hope fans show their support by snapping up this extremely unique title... after all, it’s not often a game like this makes it to European shores.”

3D Dot Game Heroes is perfect for those who are bored of countless shooters, racers and games with too many explosions. It harks back to the golden age of gaming with plenty of tongue-in-cheek references to classic videogames, pick-up-and-play adventuring and graphics that are actually meant to be blocky... honestly, that’s the way it should look.
