Spectrobes in-depth DS video interview about the story, gameplay and online features
Spectrobes seems perfect for action-RPG fans wanting to collect and fight with creatures while waiting for April’s Pokemon Diamond/Pearl DS release. Spectrobes introduces two junior Interplanetary Patrol officers named Rallen and Jeena who learn of strange, prehistoric creatures called Spectrobes that possess special powers. These fossilized Spectrobes hold the key to defeating a vicious and merciless force, known only as the Krawl that threatens to destroy the galaxy. The two heroes embark on a mission to save their galaxy - to do so they must excavate, awaken, train and collect all the Spectrobes they can and battle to defeat the Krawl.
Spectrobes allows players to excavate, train and battle with nearly 500 unique creatures. These utilize the interactive features of the Nintendo DS. Players must collect, train and help their Spectrobes evolve in order to progress and succeed in the game. With highly customizable elements and powers, each Spectrobe is unique to different players.
Disney has announced that players can earn the ability to download videos, creatures, custom parts and extra minerals via Wi-Fi, as well as connect to the game’s website to share their profiles and game stats with Spectrobers all over the globe. Players can also compete in one-on-one battles over Wi-Fi, or participate in tournaments for up to 16 players.
Each copy of the game will come with four collectible trading cards. These cards are translucent with numbered holes in it that fit over the handheld’s touchscreen and that you tap in the right order with your stylus to unlock new content including rare minerals and materials needed to create powerful new allies, used to battle the evil Krawl.
Spectrobes will be released on March 15 worldwide. And additional trading cards will be sold separately. Watch an in-depth interview with the Disney’s Jupiter developers here:
