What's more thrilling than a cyberpunk action RPG? How about one where you're riding a *motorcycle*? While it might not be a completely novel concept, it perfectly encapsulates the vibrant, colorful, and distinctly *anime* essence of Tencent's Fizzglee studio's upcoming release, Kaleidorider.
From the outset, you can glean some key details about Kaleidorider. It's set in the futuristic city of Terminus, which is under siege by interdimensional invaders known as the Integration, hailing from a realm called the Sea of Unconsciousness. The only defense against these threats? The titular Kaleidoriders.
This group of motorcycle-riding heroines (predominantly female, as one might expect) requires the guidance of a human endowed with Kaleido Vision to locate and combat the Hysteria creatures spawned by the Integration. That's where you, the player, step in.
It's impossible to overlook Kaleidorider's overt anime influences. From the flamboyant outfits and the self-proclaimed Doki-Doki (romance) storyline to the exaggerated action sequences, this game embodies the spirit of a classic romance-action anime.
However, this isn't necessarily a criticism. The trailer showcases plenty of action, enhanced by stunning 3D graphics and impressive effects. The motorcycles are seamlessly integrated as a core gameplay mechanic, making Kaleidorider a must-try for fans of kitschy action.
While you eagerly await the release of Kaleidorider, why not explore other exciting titles available on third-party app stores? This week, Will reviewed QuickVenture, another action RPG that's worth checking out.
