Nintendo has announced a new 3DS game called Ever Oasis on its Treehouse Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) livestream.

The game is Ever Oasis, a new intellectual property for the Japanese company. It is an action role-playing title for the 3DS handheld system. Ever Oasis has a desert setting, and it allows players to build their own town and fight through dungeons. The game puts players in the role of oasis leader, who must grow the oasis and venture into the desert to gather resources.

Players will be able to plant-like shops called Bloom Booths in the oasis, which they have to keep stocked as characters will come through and purchase their wares. They will get money from the sales and can use it to grow more Bloom Booths. Also, they can get help from Isuna, a water spirit, who increases the player’s level and gives advice too.

In addition, players can explore the desert and dungeons with a party comprised of wanderers from different tribes. Each party member has a different ability that can be used to complete puzzles and get through dungeons. Ever Oasis also features combat encounters with enemies like spiky armadillos, a giant scorpion, and a lion statue with wings called Baastu. Each party member has their own, unique weapon that is more effective against some enemies than others. Gamers need to switch control of characters here as well to find out who works best.

Ever Oasis is an action RPG with an Egyptian theme, with an emphasis on ally switching and exploration (gathering, too), and light puzzle elements. Gamers can play as male or female, and the male character seems to be named "Tethu."

The game is produced and directed by Koichi Ishii, known for directing the first three Final Fantasy games. It is expected that Ever Oasis will come out in 2017.
