Guess what? Today Square-Enix’s iPod tactics RPG is available for purchase in the iTunes store for $5. What’s that? You didn’t know Square was making an iPod RPG? Yeah, pretty much no one did until less than 24 hours ago.
Titled Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes, the game plays like a simpler version of Tactics, using the click wheel for movement and selecting actions. (Sorry, iPod Touch owners, but this is for click wheels only.)
To take advantage of its unique platform, Square-Enix threw in a feature where your characters are created based on which songs you select. Like Monster Rancher with CDs, each song in your library gives you various class- and level-type characters based on a variety of factors.
Don’t expect a huge epic Square-Enix RPG, but who could turn down an offer to get a Monster Rancher-inspired Square-Enix tactics game on their iPod for $5? I would tell you how it is, but my iPod died years ago.
