Level-5--the developers behind awesome hits like Jeanne d'Arc, Rogue Galaxy, Dark Cloud, and the Professor Layton series--and Grasshopper Manufacture's Goichi Suda (Suda51)--the director behind Killer7, No More Heroes, and Sine Mora, have teamed to bring their action Mecha game Liberation Maiden from the 3DS to the iOS platform.
Set 100 years in the future of New Japan, Liberation Maiden puts players in the shoes of Shoko Ozora, a high school girl who becomes the new President of Japan after her father is assassinated.

Ozora has to pilot a mecha named Kaihoki to fight off an invading country that wants to steal all of Japan's energy.
