With one of the heaviest price tags I’ve seen on a game in the iPhone store Square Enix continues it’s quest for cash with the release of Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes - Encore, on sale at the iTunes Store and App Store worldwide (www.itunes.com) and available for play in English and Japanese on the iPhone and iPod touch. The cost? £5.99/€7.99 (that’s about $12).

SONG SUMMONER: The Unsung Heroes is a remake of the iPod version released in July 2008. The new game utilises the platforms’ touch screen control system and includes many new characters and scenarios for players to enjoy on the go.

The game features many exciting gameplay elements all of which relate to and interact with the player’s music collection. “Story Mode” depicts the epic adventure players will embark on as a young Song Summoner named Ziggy deceives the Mechanical Militia. “Listening Point System” - by listening to the songs outside of the game that were used to create the fighters in the game, the player will automatically make its characters stronger and gain additional abilities. “Fighter Guide” enables the player to collect all the fighters they summon in the game.
