Rondo Of Swords is a Nintendo DS exclusive game developed by Success and published by Atlus on the 9th of August 2007 in Japan and the 15th of April in North America. It can be attributed to the popular genre of strategy/RPG. An interesting thing regarding the game is that it features characters from the beloved ninja franchise Izuna: The Unemployed Ninja (if you don't know the main character of the series, you have to find out more about it!).

With 6 major enemy characters and no less than 20 playable characters, it may seem like there are actually more friends than foes in the game, but that is completely wrong. The enemies you will encounter are Gauss, Matthias, Clotho, Ernest, Alberich and Mephreyu. The playable characters are: Galahad, Simon, Yumiluna, Aegil, Izuna, Shino, Rukia, Cotton, Arios, Alhambra, Elmer, Selmer, Igraine, Owl, Ansom, Marie, Sasha, Margus, Kay and Serdic.
