Hudson Constructing Giant Robot Strategy RPG

By Spencer . May 7, 2009 . 12:05pm

When I think of Hudson Adventure Island, Bomberman, Bonk, and Star Soldier come to mind. Not mecha. Definitely not giant robots anime licenses. Seeing Hudson with a Kurogane no Linebarrels (Linebarrels of Iron) is bewildering.

 

This PSP game is based on an anime series of the same name. Linebarrels of Iron doesn’t rehash or summarize the series. The trailer explains this has an original story. When you watch the trailer pay attention around the forty second mark. Notice the grid? Linebarrels of Iron appears to be a mecha strategy RPG with 3D damage scenes.

 

Linebarrels of Iron is set to assault Japanese stores this fall.

    This looks worthy of keeping my eye on.

    Game looks pretty interesting, music sounds annoying.

    Hmm… ALI PROJECT, right?

    Hudson is also coming out with Help Wanted (aka Job Island: Hard Working People), which is having a U.S. release next week, and Miami Law, an DS title just for N.A.
    The former is really, really cute! Miami Law came out a with a tailor not too long ago and is rated T.

    hmmm, the manga sure didn't do it for me.

    consider me cautious regarding this.

    The manga was okay but the anime is terrrrrrible. Still, if it's a good game it's a good game, right? We'll see.

  • Scypher

    The anime was pretty bad, but I'll give the trailer credit for making the show look cooler than it is.

    Oh well; it's not like this is likely to get localized anyhow.

    When I first heard Ali Project singing the Rozen Maiden OP I thought it sounded really cool and out of this world. But the songs they did for the dozen of shows that followed all sound exactly the same.. I know singers have their style, but one-trick pony is an understatement.

    Haven't watched any mecha anime in a long long time, just too pretentious.. Just ordered myself a copy of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, can't wait to see Gold Lightan in action. Now I'm just watching Dragon Ball Kai every Sunday.
