Description
In the early 80s, a group of esteemed scientists spearheaded by Dr. Fuji led an expedition to Guyana in South America, in hopes of locating a species of Pokemon thought to long have gone extinct. To avoid damaging the local ecosystem, and to keep prying eyes away, they resorted to the help of the Pokemon Rangers. The Ranger Union relayed their request to their most secretive Unit, a Unit whose history was shaped not by Styler Captures and pacifying methods, but by melee combat against the very same Pokemon they later swore to protect.
In this tiny experimental action-rpg proof of concept game, you and your Partner Pokemon will slash, fire arrows, and use tools against enemy wild Pokemon, and the occasional enraged Alpha.
Control both human and Pokemon! Use Noland’s (yes, the Frontier Brain guy) exceptional swordsman skills, and his Partner Decidueye’s archery, to fell your foes!
Enjoy a brief concoction of gaming elements! From classical rpg-story progression, to MGS-like codec calls, to Firewatch, to a zelda-like combat system – this stylistic marriage of gen 1 graphics and modern resolution at 60fps will make you feel like you are in a soap-opera spy thriller!
Listen to classic Pokemon Ranger tunes de-maked in the style of gen 1. Use Tools both in combat and outside of it, to explore new areas and find not-so-clever solutions to puzzles! Guard, dash-dodge, and strafe out of harm’s way!
The tactical versatility I was originally aiming for wasn’t feasible in this small demo, so it’s mostly hitting and not getting hit (or simply running away from enemies)! Level-up in your quest to aid the scientific team in their quest to find Mew!
And perhaps, uncover a couple of darker secrets along the way…
