NCS Product Synopsis
Update: October 25, 2007
«©NCSX» It's been a while since Gainax has developed a new property. The company has been coasting along on the winds of the wildly successful Evangelion series which has permeated Japanese culture for the better part of a decade. Earlier this year, Gainax released Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann on TV Tokyo and captured a reasonably strong viewership. As is common with popular franchises, the seeding of other forms of media follows the primary property and we get a crack at the portable video game version this week. The NDS action-adventure follows the storyline of the animation but introduces new characters and stylus-based interaction/action.
The game is broken up into interaction sequences where Simon speaks to fellow diggers and non-player characters encountered during the course of the adventure. When certain junctures are reached, players engage in action-packed Gunmen mech battles where the touchpen is used to control the movement, firepower, and defensive maneuvers. Battles are fought on the top NDS screen while the touch screen shows the control panel as well as a grid-based local area map. Occasionally, a mini-game pops up for some quick stylus-based interaction.
Bonus Schwag
Every copy of Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann is bundled with a special edition animation DVD which features an original 13-minute episode that serves as a prologue to the story in the animation series. Please note the DVD is region-2 and will only play on Japanese territory DVD players or modified all-region DVD players which are about as common as grains of sand on the beach nowadays.
