iPhone and iPad RPG Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden Announced by Gameloft

Behold one epic looking game. This sort of game is what makes it worth having an iPad, if you ask me. This game is what IntoMobile is calling a Legend of Zelda clone, and I'm inclined to agree. I'm NOT inclined to protest though, as such a game as that might not be out for ages and ages. Now is the age of Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden. A young fellow by the name of Ayden is chosen by the god Uryah to save the kingdom of Lasgalen from no less than the Apocalypse. How will you do such a monumental task? You'll ride your horse and break some ice with a big glove, of course!

This game wouldn't be so innovative if they were releasing it on PS3 or Xbox 360 or a PC, but here on iOS: iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, it has the potential to be huge. Huge in a way that normally only highly-recognizable brand-name RPGs are huge. Possible prices for iPhone and iPod Touch are $6.99 and $9.99, respectively, and those are only guesses, but they're informed guesses to be sure. Take a peek at the preview video:
