I found the game on a list on Triggerzone: http://www.triggerzone.de/gamesdb/index.php?action=system&id=331 Looked promising: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/trailer-rotr/12877 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXbJmLepRzs A shame it was canned, but maybe there is a build out there, there are too few shmups for the DS. Thousands of games and just 14 shooters, what a waste.
I remember the game got "notoriety" because the polish(?) developer ( BLOB ? ) was associated with Nibris , infamous company that was "producing" the vaporware Sadness for Wii. If I remember right , there is another cancelled DS game from this developer ( a puzzle game ? ) that you can watch on YT. Also let me recommend Shin'en Nanostray 2. I'm currently playing it on my DS and it's a very good euro shmup with great graphics and good music.
Looks very good indeed... let's go hunting. EDIT: Apparently, its name was change from 'RAID' to 'RIDE' at a certain point. Source: http://www.cubed3.com/news/6741 Then they ditched the name and went for RotR instead. Source + running clip: http://www.cubed3.com/news/7385/2/
If we could find a playable build of this, that would be awesome! Maybe even the version portrayed in the Youtube videos...
