About SONG SUMMONER: The Unsung Heroes
Story
From the days of old, Melodica was a land of music, a land of freedom. The people sang, played and danced to the music they so cherished. Until one day, they came — the Mechanoids, who enhanced their bodies with machinery. Those who were tempted by greed and power willingly gave away their souls for bodies of steel, forsaking their humanity to become cold, emotionless automatons. Now, they seek to destroy all that do not embrace their way of life.
But there is hope on the horizon. There are those who are fated to stand against the tyranny of the machines — the Superstars, who can turn sound into lethal weapons, and the Conductor, also known as the Song Summoner, who can summon powerful warriors born of music.
In their most desperate hour, Melodica awaits the arrival of their new Song Summoner...
Game Features
- Transform your iPod songs into "Tune Troopers" to combat the evil Mechanical Militia.
- Tune Trooper types and abilities are determined by the songs used to create them.
- Your Tune Troopers can be powered up even outside of the game-just by listening to the songs you used to create them!
- Control Ziggy, a "Conductor" that creates warriors out of music, and guide him through his journey to save his brother Zero from the Mechanical Militia.
- Experience a turn-based tactics battle system, divided into player and enemy phases where each side takes turns manoeuvring their forces.

So the game is actually pretty cool for $5. ONLY because you can turn your favorite songs into warriors....if yer into yer music its prolly the best game on the ipod IMO....

all this game needs is an ipod touch version that allows for 2 play head to head play via wifi/internet....
Then you could pit your music collection against someone elses...
-
when are they gonna make games for the ipod touch already
-
All of you were laughing at this at the beginning of the thread, but I think it's a great idea. I love gimmick games that let you make your own monsters from your own stuff, like Monster Rancher.
-
got bored of this game already, everything has a laggy delay to it
-
Crushed - what ipod are you playing on?
I am using a new Ipod classic 80 GB w/ no noticeable laggyness.

A 5th Gen 30GB.
-
hmmm - I wonder if is uses HDD space for a game cache, etc..
My 80GB Ipod is about 50% full of music.

Yes, I think it is a great idea to make games for the iPod that nobody has

Glad we agree.

there is a certain monster rancher quality to the concept, and awesome gamers know that monster rancher one and two were the shit.

Wish my stupid iPod Video still did sound. Kinda makes the game pointless without sound. I aint paying those nazi fegs apple $125 to fix the audio on my iPod. fegs. Nazis.
Phase was gay. Peggle is cool on iPod though.
