First impressing after a few moments...wish the framerate was better. It not horrendous or anything, but I do wish it were just a bit higher. The game looks really good and crisp though, which I wasn't expecting. Very clean colors and lines, with a great 3D representation. Not getting and ghosting or anything. I also really like the mining aspect, though it is simple at this point. You get more materials for using weaker attacks, and you can do it quickly if you hit them in a sort of "rhythm" to help it along.
His claw break is also pretty damn cool to look at. Kind wishing for a Smash Bros reveal of him.
Its really simple, and I probably shouldn't have gotten excited, but I did lol. Its just him standing there kinda cool like with some enemies in front, and you pull down on the touch screen to roll through them. Then it starts.
I get excited easily in the morning :^/

The fact this is a £9 downloadable title and Pilotwings was a £40 launch title makes me sad.

there is a gif of it..

Wow, I'd never see a Kikaider vid here.

Alright, equipment gives you different attacks with different effects. Depending on the level of the item the attacks may be stronger or weaker. That'll surely mix the combat up I think.

I hope the gif doesn't get quoted.

Anyone going to post the credits when the game is beat? Wanna find out who made this!
I guess I'll throw my hat into the Zelda DS team assumption.

I like how he takes his hat off before he starts his roll! I'm really liking this character >.<
Honestly, my first though when I saw the game was that it looked like Zelda DS visually. I thought I was just losing it and didn't say anything though.

The image quality is really good btw. Barely any jaggies and good depth when you use 3D.

It also moves noticeably smoother when in battle mode.

I doubt it. It seems to be a core element in the game. Too many enemies coming at the gates, I can see it now.
Edit: As as I post this, one of my gun towers is under attack lol

The TD mechanics seem very simple. There are a few towers on the map that you can upgrade and that's it. You don't have to worry about tower placement or anything. It's only about managing your money right and upgrading the right tower at the right time.

The technique of using weaker attacks to get more materials when mining seems to apply when getting items from enemies as well. Can't confirm it, but it seems that way so far.

Yes, enemies continue to move when you're in battle mode. That's why you want to be very efficient when fighting.
And you can select targets by swiping the stylus left or right while you're charging your attack.

Uh huh, you just have to start your roll in the opposite direction of where you want to go. You can also change directions if you slide the stylus around before letting go.
Yes and no you aren't able to roll backwards, as far as I can tell.
So an action/tower defense hybrid? I've oddly fallen in love with this weird sub-genre over the last year. Random question I hope someone can answer: how does this compare to something like Orcs Must Die? It seems from the talk the 2 are very similar in setup and that was one of my favorite games last year. I would gladly play something similar to it on a handheld.
That's good news. Instructions would have been awesome.

You need the touch screen to swipe to go faster and use the rolling.
The controls are not able to be swapped to the right hand side at all, so basically got to use your fingers on the touch screen. Can't use the stylus.
It's not BROKEN, but its still annoying.

If you do everything about 3 times and have a boner for Time Attack. Don't try to defend Pilotwings kid, it was too fucking short and anybody who played it can tell you that.

It's a bit different and not as complex as OMD so far. There's less to micromanage and the battles have a separate battle screen. The very basic concept of tower defence mixed with action sequences is there, though.

Comes with a "Manual" function right before you open the game.
Haha. Of course it does! I'm so used to DD games having tutorials, I completely forgot. Will read, then play!
I see... As long as the basic concept is there that is good enough for myself, I guess. I also am really digging the art style, might have to pick this up.

I feel like I already got my 10 rupees worth out of this game.

Well that's annoying. Hmmm... think I'm going to wait for further impressions before buying now.

It it makes you feel any better, you have a sort of auto lock on in battle, so just get in the general direction and the game does the rest.

Glad you said something...I didn't even know this claw attack existed at all, much less the complexities of it.

Yeah, it's annoying, but it's not really that bad.
I'm left handed too and I'm not having problem using the right hand for the stylus, since you only have slide and tap (they are movements that don't require super precision).
Maybe at first it feels awkward, but you get used to it very soon!
Of course a left handed option would have been better.

This game is pretty damn fun. Totally worth the asking price. I've only completed 2 of the 3 days, but I'd say the difficulty seems just right. I already almost got my ass handed to me by a Bossgrock (or whatever the big red one was called).
I'm expecting more great downloadable titles from Nintendo in the future going by their recent efforts.

Looks like the claw attack is much more effective than the AoE one. You can slash through a bunch of enemies even if they stand quite a bit away from each other.
