The favorite genre for DS users (RPG) hits Nintendo handhelds again, this time coming from Atlus U.S.A. Rondo of Swords is a fantasy-strategy RPG, in which gamers must "cleanse the sacred blade, protect the princess, and vanquish the oppressing armies of the enemy" in a quest to rid the kingdom of
tyranny!
Rondo of Swords' plot goes a little something like this, according to Atlus U.S.A.: The King of Bretwalde is dead. His passing, both unexpected and unusual, leaves the kingdom in distress. As one realm mourns, another readies for war; the Grand Meir Empire, intent on conquering the world, prepares to strike the empty throne. Taken by surprise, the army of Bretwalde collapses under the vicious assault, and the capital city of Egvard is quick to fall. OnlySpanta, the sacred blade, can spare the kingdom of its fate. Free it of its curse and restore honor and peace to the land!
Since Rondo of Swords is a genuine RPG, players will have the opportunity to go on quests, using a very deep party management system, use sophisticated maneuvers to enhance your skills, which, by the way, can be customized upon using strategic devices that you choose to build or not and so on. Better yet, just read the features list below. It pretty much answers every question an RPG fan would ask:
Key Features
￭ Unique combat system - Use route maneuvers to hit all enemies in your path and enhance your attack or defense. Manage your Momentum Counter to gain stat bonuses and control who your enemies target!
￭ Deep party management system -With the Errand System, you have the option to send idle party members off to run errands or go on quests to level up on their own, which will become crucial to your party's survival in later stages.
￭ Customizable skill options -Skills are not just skills, but dynamic strategic devices that you choose to build or not. Use skill points to either buy more skills or strengthen what you have!
￭ Multiple storylines and endings -Your decisions will affect the course of the game, determining the character you become and the ending you'll receive.
Atlus U.S.A's upcoming RPG for Nintendo DS, Rondo of Swords, is scheduled to release in April, on the 15th, this year.
