Today, XSEED made a few announcements in terms of their upcoming Nintendo DS title Solatorobo: Red The Hunter and the bonus inclusion as well as some storyline elements. It is hard to deny that I love bonus content with my games – even a soundtrack CD can make all the difference. XSEED has decided to include a 24-disc soundtrack with the copies of this game and is a direct replica of the Japanese version one. I personally haven’t heard the music from the game however they describe it as “playful mood for some of the game’s light-hearted dialogue, while contrasting with a full orchestral score that foreshadows the epic struggle for survival that awaits protagonist Red Savarin”. They unfortunately didn’t include any images however considering it is a DS game – 24 sounds could cover most of the games music.
XSEED also included a description about the characters and locations of the game – and I have included that segment of the Press Release as well as some screenshots after the jump.
Set high above the clouds of the Shepherd Republic, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter features a picturesque setting filled with vibrant pastel colors and European-style villas. In the game, players will take to the skies in airships and explore the various floating islands that comprise the mystical world in which the game is set. From the railroad-trafficked streets of the Republic’s capital city of Pharaoh to the airborne port of Airedale, each of the Shepherd Republic’s ten principal cities are filled with unique characters and details. Each location in Solatorobo offers a distinct atmosphere, and whether it be the Mushroom-dandelion forests of Vizsla or the canal-lined alleys of touristy Spinon, around every corner players will find a highly-stylized environment.
As adventurer-for-hire Red Savarin treks through the skies, he and his companions will be unwittingly pulled into a sinister plot to resurrect an ancient threat. At the center of this plot is the leader of the Kurvaz organization, Bruno Dondurma, a dog-like renegade who operates within the law but is never afraid to make an example of those who oppose him through the handy tools of intimidation and blackmail. At his side, the faithful cat-like Opéra Kranz is usually seen with her subordinates, Calua Napage and Gren Sacher, all of whom are armed with Robo mechs of varying abilities, from long-range projectile attacks to short-range swords. Together, they form a formidable opposition that Red will have to somehow take down in order to protect his world.
