Easily the greatest iPod Touch/iPhone game ever. This game is very much like Final Fantasy Tactics, with a twist... your army is summoned from the songs on your iPod/iPhone! Which of course means you can fight as stuff like Rick Rolls and Linkin Park songs...


These were my initial starting party: (all initially summoned as powerful B grade or higher)


Michael Jackson - Beat It, (Archer - Masquerade)
The Beach Boys - Kokomo, (Archer - Freedom Fighter)
Utada Hikaru - Heart Station, (Archer - Electrochemical)
Ray Sun - Black Devil, (Knight - Heaven's Door)

DJ Assault - Ass-n-Titties, (Soldier - Her Majesty) *#1 Fighter*
Utada Hikaru - Beautiful World, (Soldier - TR-808)
Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me, (Soldier - Burn Out)
Andrew W.K. - Party Hard, (Mage - Candy Slice)

Heh, sounds interesting. I'll give it a try.

Hmmm, seems like a novel concept.

Are all the characters summoned specific to each song, or just randomly assigned? And does it recognize the more obscure songs, such as "I H8 Nintendocore by Capkonamco"?

Neither, they're influenced by a detection system in the programing so stuff like hard rock usually summons fierce Soldiers and slow R&B usually summons contemplative Monks. It's quite complicated and I don't know exactly how it works, but it's for the most part on the mark for the kind of summon in association with the music.

Also, there's a free "Lite" version available which I downloaded before ending up buying the full version.

Downloaded the trial and tested it out, it works pretty well. I'll have to consider buying the full version in the future.
