Rodea the Sky Soldier review

Thu, 03 Dec 2015 15:12:00 +1300

[i]Rodea the Sky Soldier[/i] has the odd interesting idea, but numerous gameplay problems betray its troubled development.

Rodea the Sky Soldier has had an interesting and somewhat protracted development period. Originally conceived by Yuji Naka (Sonic the Hedgehog), it was in development as early as 2010. For reasons that aren’t entirely clear, the completed Wii version of the game was never released – despite being finished in 2011 – and the game has only just appeared on both Wii U (with the Wii version as a bonus inclusion) and 3DS.

The story starts a thousand years in the past, with an invasion of the Sky Kingdom Garuda. Despite near overwhelming odds, a princess and her robotic companion – Rodea, the star of the show – manage to protect their peaceful kingdom. For reasons unknown, the robotic soldier then wakes up in the present with no recollection of his history; all he knows is that he must protect Garuda. As it turns out, his timing is pretty good, as the evil Naga Empire are up to their old tricks and Garuda needs a hero once again.
