Radiant Historia made history when it first came out on November 3, 2010 in Japan. Following its North American launch on February 22, 2011, the niche Nintendo DS RPG earned a couple of awards and honorable mention from various gaming bodies.
5 years later, Radiant Historia's director Mitsuru Hirata shared a message via Twitter to celebrate this milestone (translated to English):
Oh, is it already 5 years! Although it is hard to admit that it was never a hit, I’m really grateful to see that many people still love it. Personally I also have a strong emotional attachment with this title. I’ll always hold onto an attitude "someday a new Radiant Historia!" lol #rh_atlus
おぉもう５年か！決してヒットしたとは言い難いけど、未だに愛して頂ける方々を沢山見かけるのは凄くありがたいです。個人的にも思い入れが強いタイトルでもあります。いつかラジヒスの新作を！という気持ちだけはずっと持ち続けてますｗ #rh_atlus

Your country is at war with neighboring Gran org, whose ruler Queen Protea is blamed for the drying of the land and a strange disease that turns people into sand. The game begins when Stok and his subordinates are sent into Gran org territory to rescue a captured spy. They end up getting caught themselves. Stok suffers a great injury and briefly enters the world of Historia, where he's given the ability to travel through time and space. You'll be using this ability as you play through Radiant Historia. The game has you traveling through time, and also through space as you switch off between parallel worlds.
The Nintendo 3DS' backwards compatibility feature gives you the opportunity to enjoy Nintendo DS gems such as this one. Are you excited at the possibility of a sequel on the 3DS?
