    Rodea the Sky Soldier has the odd interesting idea, but numerous gameplay problems betray its troubled development.

    I wouldn’t say it was a mistake to bring Rodea to 3DS, but the game is so rough that it either needed more time in development, or the handheld was incapable of fully handling Naka’s vision. For fans of the creator’s previous works and players who enjoy 3D adventure titles, Rodea is worth a look, but be prepared to fight with it in order to get any enjoyment out of the game.

    This incarnation of Rodea is but a sad monument of broken dreams and unrealized potential. [Issue #18 – November/December 2015, p.72]

    If you are a huge fan of NiGHTS, it’s worth picking up at a discounted price because there is some fun to be had here: just the fun moments are few and far between.

    Rodea The Sky Soldier on 3DS has very few good things going for it, overshadowed by atrocious controls and bland visuals. It is designed to be replayed, but I don’t ever want to experience it again.
