While NIS is slated to release Rodea the Sky Soldier in Japan on April 2nd, it’s been rather quiet about releasing elsewhere in the world. Thanks to the handy NIS annual press event, we now know that Rodea the Sky Soldier will be releasing in both North America and Europe come fall 2015. It will be releasing on the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Wii U
So 1,000 years ago Emperor Geardo of Naga Empire sent a force of machine soldiers to wreck up the sky-kingdom of Garuda. If it wasn’t for Princess Cecilia and Rodea, the Emperor’s dastardly plans were thwarted. Now is normal-present day, a robot is discovered in the sand which ends up being the former hero Rodea. Can he stop history from repeating? Can one be a two time hero?
Here are features of the game:
- Touch the Sky – Complete each mission by traversing the aerial kingdom of Garuda while solving puzzles and demolishing enemies! Upgrade your flight capabilities and take full control of the air to discover secrets of the past and hints of the future.
- Delightful Tinkering – Explore each level and shatter enemies to collect Gears and Gravitons which Ion can use in her workshop to upgrade Rodea with new abilities and weapons, from upgrading his stats (such as health, attack damage, and speed) to powerful machine guns.
- Colossal Battles – Engage in battles on an epic scale as you combat the massive automatons of the Naga army. Dodge and weave in acrobatic combat as you evade the behemoths’ attacks and locate their weaknesses.
- Endless Hours of Fun – Replay your favorite levels to better your time and uncover numerous hidden objectives and items. Upgrade your gear to set new speed records and increase your score.
Enjoy the trailer above! It might just be me, but every time I say the name of this game I think of that Rage Against the Machine Song – Down Rodeo. You’ll never be able to guess why.
