Play Blood of Bahamut Online

Summary

Blood of Bahamut drops you onto sprawling cities that literally sit on the backs of sleeping giants, only to watch those titans stir and threaten the inhabitants below. The game turns this precarious setting into a frantic co‑op brawl: up to four players use both DS screens to smash through a giant’s armor, pierce its core, and then dismantle its limbs while smaller summoned beasts swarm the battlefield. Each victory yields "materials" that let you forge ever‑stronger weapons, and with more than 130 missions the grind feels rewarding rather than repetitive. Directed by Motomu Toriyama and produced by Eisuke Yokoyama, the title boasts a soundtrack by Naoshi Mizuta that pushes the DS’s audio limits. Though Ignition Entertainment tried to bring it to North America, Square Enix kept it Japan‑only, earning a 31/40 Famitsu score and modest sales of just over 100,000 copies by 2010.

Storyline

Blood of Bahamut takes place in a sprawling metropolis that literally rests on the back of a massive beast called a Gigant. When the city is suddenly assaulted, the two protagonists—Ibuki, a sword‑wielding summoner who carries the White Dragon within him, and Yui, a Gigant‑clan member who fights with a cane staff—must rally the defenders and protect not only their home but other settlements perched on awakening Gigants.

The story introduces seven core characters. Kamo‑Ogre commands the Ifrit clan with a battle axe, Santiago is a Fenrir elder wielding a spear, Ryuma has broken from the Shiva clan to wander the world armed with a handheld cannon, Ren fights as a swordsman with a katana, and the mysterious knight Aslan bears a greatsword.

The Gigants themselves are sentient beings such as Bahamut, Ifrit, Shiva, Fenrir and Gilgamesh, and they occasionally join the fray to defend their own bodies as the conflict unfolds.
