Aerial platformer with stylus-guided flight, an appealing idea but the 3DS port is stiffer than the original Wii version. Messy camera and uneven design. Ambitious despite its flaws.

Description
Aerial action where Rodea soars freely through the skies. Published by NIS America, released in 2015. Free flight, battles against robots, fantasy storyline, optional gyroscope. Released in Japan, North America, Europe and Korea.
Korean edition of NIS America's aerial action game, designed by Yuji Naka and localised for a Korean market with restricted volumes. The Korean version stands apart through its local packaging and stays rarer than the Western editions of an already confidential title. Desirability rests on this regional scarcity of a game by a renowned creator yet remaining niche, sought by collectors aiming at the Korean 3DS catalogue.
