Henshin On The Go With Kamen Rider Travelers Senki

Developer Seventh Chord, known for Tales of Hearts and the earlier All Riders Generation, brought Kamen Rider to Nintendo’s 3DS with Kamen Rider Travelers Senki, a game featuring battles between Riders and kaiju rendered in 3D.

Travelers Senki is a linear beat-’em-up action game in the same style as its predecessor. Players can move in any direction during combat, and the 3DS’s second touch screen is used to swap between forms. Playable characters include Kamen Riders W, OOO, Fourze, Wizard, and Gaim, along with several secondary Riders; screenshots confirmed Gaim would be playable with Wizard Arms, a form from the then-recent Movie Taisen crossover film.

What set Travelers Senki apart from other modern Rider games was its inclusion of characters in their civilian forms, not just their armored Rider forms, with main and supporting characters alike rendered in an anime-influenced, near-chibi art style.

The game released on November 28, and early print copies included a bonus card for the Ganbarizing arcade game. Due to Nintendo’s region lock, the game would not run on consoles purchased outside Japan, a limitation for overseas buyers and importers.
