Ever wondered what's better than a cyberpunk action RPG? How about one where you're riding a motorcycle? While it might not sound groundbreaking, it perfectly encapsulates the unique, vibrant, and distinctly anime essence of the upcoming release from Tencent's Fizzglee studio: Kaleidorider.
From the get-go, Kaleidorider sets itself in the futuristic city of Terminus, a place currently under siege by interdimensional invaders known as the Integration, hailing from the mysterious Sea of Unconsciousness. It's a scenario that screams for heroes, and that's where the all-girl motorcycle-riding team, the Kaleidoriders, come into play.
But these daring heroines can't do it alone. They need the guidance of a seemingly ordinary human blessed with Kaleido Vision. That's right, you're tasked with leading these fierce fighters against the Hysteria creatures spawned by the Integration.
Kiss, kiss, fall in love - It's impossible to miss the heavy anime influences in Kaleidorider. From the flashy outfits and the self-proclaimed Doki-Doki (romance) plotline to the exaggerated, over-the-top action sequences, this game proudly wears its anime heart on its sleeve.
Yet, this isn't a critique. The trailer showcases thrilling action, stunning 3D graphics, and dazzling effects, all while integrating motorcycles as a central gameplay mechanic. If you're into kitschy action, Kaleidorider is poised to be right up your alley.
As you eagerly anticipate Kaleidorider's launch, why not explore what's available off the beaten path? This week, Will delved into QuickVenture, an action RPG exclusive to third-party app stores, offering a fresh take on the genre.
