Let's take a break from the console version of the upcoming video game
Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark by Edge of Reality, shall we? Thanks to
Siliconera.com, we have some details of the upcoming game's 3DS counterpart. Here's the breakdown:
* Gameplay seems similar to the Transformers mobile game, Transformers: G1 Awakening, in which characters move around on a 2D landscape, and switches to 3D during battles between characters.
* Each character has seven different attacks of varying strength, each one needing an escalating number of points to use.
* Points are earned by a character each turn, with bonus points awarded for blocking enemy attacks.
* Part of the strategy sounds set to revolve around picking whether to employ low-level attacks to harass enemies, or to take a few rounds to stock some points to bring out a more powerful attack.
* Each character has a character-specific super move, which is activated by using a specific amount of Energon, limited for each mission, so strategizing when to use these moves are paramount. An example of this is Optimus Prime's Vanguard ability, which makes enemies focus on Optimus to give other allies time to withdraw or regroup.
