About this game

Kid Icarus: Uprising brings Pit back for a fast-paced blend of aerial shooting and ground-based action on Nintendo 3DS. Guided by Palutena, the goddess of light, Pit takes to the skies for limited periods before continuing the fight on the ground against Medusa’s underworld army.

Players collect weapons and items that provide bonuses and ability boosts, choosing their equipment before each battle to shape their approach. Options include balanced Blades, close-range Claws that improve running speed, and Orbitars capable of firing two shots that grow stronger over distance.
