### About Sigma Star Saga DX
*Sigma Star Saga DX* is a refined edition of the unique 2005 adventure/RPG/shoot ’em up hybrid originally published by Namco for the Game Boy Advance. The game is a genre-shattering science-fiction adventure that seamlessly transitions from character-driven top-down exploration to real-time side-scrolling space-shooter battles once combat begins.
