Zoids Saga DS: Legend of Arcadia is the conclusion of the Zoids Saga series. It comprises scenes from Zoids Saga, Zoids Saga II (released in the west as Zoids: Legacy) and Zoids Saga III: Fuzors. It features upgraded graphics and sound. Additionally, Zoids and story elements from the Zoids Genesis anime have been included.
The game plays like a traditional JRPG with the player controlling characters and mechs from the Zoids titles. Enemy Zoids wander around the overworld and chase you on sight, which takes the player into the turn-based combat system. An English patch for the game done by Traceeytrace in 2022.
The gameplay is the same as Zoids Saga except that Takara Tomy used the DS split screen feature to introduce the radar system. Regina gave him a peculiar device which he wore on his left arm called Arm Retcomm, a radar watch device with map, item locator, trap, and Zoids mining system. Right now, you only have level 1 of these systems, but you will get more upgrade for the device starting from midgame.
The party heads to Northeast of Blue City where RD waits. Amy was worried when RD left early without saying anything but RD told her that he doesn't want to make everyone worry. Sigma praises him for finding out the place where Gale may be. RD told Sigma that he heard from Sweet about it and head to the location earlier before the party. He then urged the party to hurry while the enemies are still inside, Athle warns everyone to be on guard and enter the place.
Entering Zoids Road, Regina asks if Gale is here.. Jack said that even if he is here, he is sure that Gale will have an escape route set up just in case and he then commanded Gummie and the Bureau to block the exit to prevent Gale from escaping. Exiting the area, the party confront Gale and Jack tried to have a personal talk to him as mentor and student but sadly....the conversation ended up badly and with the party have no choice but to stop him. Once the party beat him in a battle, he warns Jack that next time, he won't be showing any mercy to him even if he is his student. Gummie and his personnel failed to stop Gale as his Gojulas tramples on their Zoids on the way out.
Jack calls Gale, Master this time which caught Helmut's attention, prompting him to ask Jack if he knows Gale. Regina apologizes to everyone for not telling them and Jack tells everyone that Gale was his mentor. Back at Blue City, Helmut commented that Blue City should be calm for now and Hop praises everyone for their hard work. While Sigma comments that he can finally have a rest, RD asks where Athle and the others are and Matt said that they left earlier. This gives Helmut or Maskman an idea and asks RD to have a short personal chat.
As the party about to leaves, RD approaches them and tell Athle that it's better to have more people. And with that, Mach Storm joined permanently and unlock customization to their Zoid.
