Atari's DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: Tactics, a turn-based tactical role-playing game for the PSP, has shipped to retailers in North America. Marking the first time the D&D license has ever graced a next-generation portable system, D&D: Tactics utilizes the D&D 3.5 rule-set created by Wizards of the Coast.

D&D: Tactics players take on the role of a mortal child caught in a conflict of two competing dragons striving for godhood. Choosing between these opposing forces is critical, as alignment and quests allows players to vacillate between good and evil. Gamers will play through a series of adventures, completing various objectives along the way. D&D: Tactics offers all the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS base character classes including Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer and Wizard. In addition, there are two Psionic classes, the Psion and the Psychic Warrior. Players are able to customize their characters and store as many as their memory stick can handle.

D&D: Tactics takes advantage of the PSP system's wireless capability and offers gamers both co-op and competitive multiplayer modes. Players can host an adventure and work cooperatively with other players. Competitive player-versus-player battle modes also exist including Last Man Standing, Gladiator and Dragon Kill.

Developed by Kuju Entertainment, D&D: Tactics is rated 'T' for Teen and is available in North America for the PSP for a suggested retail price of $39.95.
