Those equipped with an iPod nano with video, iPod classic, or fifth generation iPod can do more than just listen to their iTunes– they can wage tactical battles with them in Square Enix’s new RPG, Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes.

The protagonist, Ziggy, is on a quest to save his brother, Zero, from the Mechanical Militia. Luckily, he is a Conductor, and can turn your music into “Tune Troopers.” It’s most beneficial to pick your favorite songs, since even listening to them outside of the game powers them up.

Click Wheel controls keep the turn-based combat system simple, but it sounds like there is some strategy to do with interactive environments. Maybe traps or terrain bonuses? Song Summoner is now available in English and Japanese for $4.99 on iTunes. Check the jump for more screens and a story overview. Read more…
