. Story
As with earlier games in the Spectrobes series, Spectrobes:
Origins follows the adventures of Rallen and Jeena. Officers in
the futuristic Nanairo Planetary Patrol, Rallen and Jeena are the
vanguard of the solar system's defenses against enemies,
including the alien scourge known as the Krawl. To combat these
menaces they have, and must continue to harness the power of the
mysterious creatures known as Spectrobes.
What is a Spectrobe?
Spectrobes are ancient beings of light that have existed since
the beginnings of the galaxy. In fact, they are so ancient that
most, although alive, now exist suspended in a fossilized state.
Aside from the fact that Spectrobes are large and imposing, the
essence of their power resides in their orientation to one of
five elemental properties: fire, , earth, sky or water.
These properties are not all created equal though, instead having
particular exploitable strengths when pitted against other
forces; for example, fire is strong against , water is
strong when used against fire, is strong against earth, sky
is strong against water, etc.
Gameplay
Gameplay in Spectrobes: Origins centers around the player's
ability to successfully utilize and fight along side their stable
of collected Spectrobes in battle against a variety of enemies.
Unlike earlier Spectrobes games, Spectrobes: Origins is designed
around real-time battles. Both the player's character and their
current Spectrobe simultaneously engage enemies in combat
utilizing standard attacks, as well as combos to gain experience
points. The game features more than a hundred different
Spectrobes and players are able to carry several at any one time,
as well as various character armaments. Each Spectrobe has its
own set of distinct attributes, which underlines the importance
of developing a strategy for their use in advance, depending on
what challenges and different nents you think you might face.
But before a player can plan for this he/she must build a
collection of Spectrobes. This is done, as was in previous games
by excavating the fossilized creatures. In Origins though this is
taken to a whole different level via the Wii's motion sensing
capabilities and a time based mini-game. Once players have
identified an area containing a Spectrobe they will utilize the
Wii remote and nunchuck configuration to put a wide range of
tools to work in removing it from the ground. These tools include
everything from bombs to hammers, lasers and blowdryers. The game
features 3D imaging, so during this process players will see
their Spectrobes realistically emerge bit by bit from the the raw
earth, and after full excavation will nurture them up close as
they heal from any injuries that may have suffered during the
digging and take on nourishment in an area called "the
incubator." Here players can also bond with and get to know the
powers of each Spectrobes before they join the fight.
Another difference from earlier releases in the series is the
expansion of the Jeena character. Previously occupying more of a
support role to Rallen, with specialties in the the fields of
communication, research and problem-solving, in this adventure
Jeena is a full-fledged playable character, able to team up with
Spectrobes against enemies in battle. She also has entirely
different personality traits and sensibilities than Rallen,
ensuring diverse gameplay and an even male/female balance
characterwise. Both Rallen and Jeena are available in the games'
co-op mode which allows an additional player to join the fight in
the role of the selected Spectrobe.
