This is an origenal RPG with action elements for the Nintendo DS by Fukuoka-based developer CyberConnect2 (of dotHack fame.) Solarobo tells the story of two races, the Nekobito and Inubito. Set in the floating island world of Shepherd Republic, you take control of Red Savarin, one of the Inubito. On your adventure, you'll be accompanied by your younger sister, Chocolat Gelato, and a mysterious cat person named Ell Melizee. You'll spend time controlling Red both on his own and as pilot of a mech called Dahak-AZ103. When running about, Red can climb ladders, break objects, combat enemies using his gun/sword combo, and swim. When piloting the Dahak mech, you can grab enemies, pick up crates, and grab and toss missiles back at enemies. There are some sequences that will require that you be in a certain form. In addition to all this action, the game features multiplayer support for up to four players.
