Synopsis

Sands of Destruction is a 2008 role-playing video game developed by Imageepoch and published by Sega for the Nintendo DS. It was released in Japan in 2008, and in North America in 2010. Set in a desert world where humans are ruled over and persecuted by the anthropomorphic Ferals, the story revolves around protagonist Kyrie after learning he holds the power to destroy the world. Gameplay features exploration of the game world from a top-down perspective, and a turn-based combat system incorporating real-time mechanics. The game was created as an RPG with an unconventional story premise, though darker aspects of its story draft were toned down for a wider audience. Notable staff included writer Masato Kato, artists Kunihiko Tanaka and Kimihiko Fujisaka, and co-composer Yasunori Mitsuda. The game was supported by a Production I.G-produced anime series and a manga which featured different interpretations of the same world and characters. Japanese pop band AAA composed theme songs for the game and anime. Reception of the game was mixed, with the one common point of praise being the soundtrack.
