Aegis: The Awakening is Sennari's original title for the Game Boy Advance. Currently in the conception stage, the game is an action-adventure offering two gameplay styles in one: Castlevania: Circle of the Moon-style side-scroller play and Final Fight One-style 3D arena battles with a proposed fair amount of Z-axis movement within the arena's range. Both single- and two-player modes will be available, and players can compete against each other or the computer or play cooperatively. The story is set in a 'city under siege.' Players assume the role of one of two royal warriors, or Aegis, known as Lash and Zhen. They wander into the city of Aldara, discover that it is being destroyed, and then set out to save it and the locals, the Jadin'zhal. Players will have magic and melee abilities at their disposal. In single-player mode, both characters will deliver a different gameplay experience. The game is also influenced by Mega Man-style play, in that each time players fight a boss, they adopt new skills that will help them fight the next.
The enemies take the form of elementals, and players must learn to use the elements of earth, wind, fire, and water to combat them, using opposing force. Players cast magic spells and fight in real time in Aegis, with the option of combining melee (force) with magic for more powerful or specific attacks.
A 'shield' on the screen allows players to select their magic items and combine them with melee actions in just two presses on the D-pad. The game is in its infant stage, but we plan to follow the development of Aegis closely. The style, concept, and gameplay strategy look promising.
As the day ended, Cartabiano treated us to a demonstration of Sennari's proprietary Game Boy Advance RC product. This 'game' includes a radio-controlled car, a transmitter that plugs into the link port of the GBA, and the game's software. But it's more than a radio-controlled car. Not only do players drive the car using the GBA's D-pad controls, but they can also store nearly 40 movements in linear succession on their GBA and play them back later. Players can also edit and adjust these movements, then command their car to follow the course and essentially drive on its own. The application may also be used with other technologies in the future. The kit will retail for about $59.95. Sennari does not have a release date for the RC product, but we will let you know as soon as it becomes available. |
