Square Enix Launching iPod Only Game
Square Enix is spreading its influence further than ever before. Can’t afford a DS to pick up the newest Final Fantasy Tactics titles because you spent all your money on an iPod? Get your RPG fix for a low price of only $4.99 on the iTunes store. The game is available only on the iTunes store and works solely with iPod nanos with video, iPod Classic and Fifth Generation iPods.
The full title is Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes and as you can imagine from the title, the game has a distinct musical theme. You’ll defend the land of Melodica as the protagonist named Ziggy from the hordes of the Mechanoids, evil beings who replace their bodies with mechanical parts. Ziggy is the only hope for the land, being the ‘Song Summoner’ who can summon “powerful warriors born of music”.
The units you summon to do battle in this turn-based strategy RPG title are created from songs in your library and base their abilities on the kind of song they are. In addition to progressing in strength and abilities in battle, you can strengthen your units even while not playing by simply listening to the songs they’re created from.
