FINAL FANTASY® CRYSTAL CHRONICLES®: My Life as a Darklord™ - New add-on content
FINAL FANTASY® CRYSTAL CHRONICLES®: My Life as a Darklord™ puts you in the highly fashionable shoes of the Darklord's daughter, a little miss with an ambition to rule the world charged with dispatching intruding adventurers by strategically placing traps and monsters inside the tower she calls home.  It's a real time strategy game with a devilish twist!

New add-on content is available today from the shop and includes 3 packs:

• Darklord Special Forces
  Available: 14/08/2009
  500 Wii Points / Blocks Required: 2
  A pack of six monsters sure to take centre stage in battle, including five mid-level monsters: Ogre (melee), Ahriman (ranged), Sahagin (magic), Coeurl and Chimera (generic), and a healer monster: Lamia. They can be summoned as much as your NP allows. Use these monsters and their special skills well, and the world will be yours.

• Bedroom Set
  Available: 14/08/2009
  300 Wii Points / Blocks Required: 1
  A pack of three Artefacts to give you the advantage in battle: Void Fountain (restores monsters' HP and cures status effects), Summon Mirror (summons random monsters), and Drain Chest (drains adventurers' HP and distributes it to your monsters). Strategic placement of these Artefacts will make world conquest a piece of cake.

• Beloved Wardrobe
  Available: 14/08/2009
  600 Wii Points / Blocks Required: 7
  A pack of three dresses to help you in battle (and to help Mira look her best): Radiant Dress (lets you cast Cure once per battle, restoring a little HP to all monsters and Artefacts), Dark Dress (raises your starting NP by 50), and Prim Dress (lets you cast Hard Slash once per battle, dealing light melee damage). Conquer the world in style.
