According to Wikipedia

Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes is an iPod tactical role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix worldwide.

So when I heard about a tactical rpg that lets you make troopers from your ipod songs, I knew I just had to get it.

I’ve only clocked up an hour so far, but every aspect of the game has been enjoyable. Compared to other tactical rpg’s it has been a bit simplified in terms of inventory management and character leveling, but that’s expected on a game designed for the ipod.

The best part of the game definitely is making troopers from your music collection. It was interesting to see my Foreigner tracks turn into whimsical female archers and “Holy Diver” by Dio turn into a armoured warrior. It was also pretty amusing to see my girlfriends screamo tracks come out as pretty boy mages with angel wings. I also like the fact that if you listen to the same tracks you used to create your troopers, you get groove points which boost your characters in battle.

In other Square Enix news Final Fantasy XIII is also coming out on the xbox 360, woot!
