#SPECTROBES CARDS SERIES#

When you see a blue or orange spark you can tap the glowing symbol and switch to the touch screen excavation mini game. If you poke the Spectrobe with the stylus it will scan the area for hidden fossils, minerals and cubes with information. While Rallen is out doing missions for the planetary patrol a cute looking child Spectrobe follows him around. Spectrobes shows off its best features with its excavation system. ItвЂ™s a little on the simplistic side and I can imagine players who are used to RPGs getting bored of it quickly. The combat system isnвЂ™t the best part of Spectrobes. It only takes three or four hits for Rallen to lose all of his HP and force players to retreat back to the ship. He gives about a tenth of the damage a Spectrobe can do and if youвЂ™re fighting with Rallen you are moving him in position to get hit. However, youвЂ™re not going to want to do this because Rallen is useless as a fighter. Alternatively you can use Rallen to fight who can rotate between using a gun, sword and punch attack that has knockback. If you charge up your CH energy to four blocks you can do a powerful combo attack that hits all of the Krawl on screen. When you press вЂњYвЂќ you switch RallenвЂ™s commands to special attacks which deplete the CH energy gauge by one or two blocks. CH energy allows you to use your SpectrobeвЂ™s special attacks to do more damage or increase their range of attack. While the stamina meter is automatically charging up so your Spectrobes can make a move you should be holding the A button to charge up CH energy. Something that isnвЂ™t explained well is how chi energy works. You have to maneuver Rallen close, but not next to the Krawl to get a Spectrobe in range to dive forward and attack. At first itвЂ™s awkward moving them into position because you donвЂ™t directly control them, instead they move next to Rallen in a set formation. You have to move them close enough to hit the Krawl. However the Spectrobes arenвЂ™t вЂњsmartвЂќ enough to automatically target an enemy. Each SpectrobeвЂ™s has a simple attack animation like ramming forward or swinging their tail. Pressing the L button makes the Spectrobe on his left hand side attack and pressing the R button makes the Spectrobe on his right attack. When you enter battle Rallen is aided by two of his evolved Spectrobes. Battles arenвЂ™t turnbased and they arenвЂ™t like Kingdom Hearts, encounters share more in common with Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner than any other game out there. Instead of having random battles purple tornados, which represent encounters with the Krawl, float towards Rallen. Even though Rallen can only run around on the bottom screen, having the world on the top screen makes it feel like the areas are larger and you can see enemies from further away. One thing that youвЂ™ll notice immediately about Spectrobes is that it uses both of the DSвЂ™ screens to show the world instead of using one screen for a map or HUD.

Ok maybe not that much more of a story than Pokemon, but the gameplay is completely different. X who Rallen found cryogenically frozen after his planet was ruined by the Krawl. In his quest to save the universe he is aided by Jeena, who acts as the mission guide, and Mr.

Luckily for Rallen he can use the Prizmod to command fossilized creatures known as Spectrobes, which coincidently are the only thing that can defeat the Krawl.

The story begins with Rallen an intergalactic planetary patrol officer who lands on Daichi when he is attacked by a group of aliens called the вЂњKrawlвЂќ. ItвЂ™s obvious that Spectrobes is inspired by games like Pokemon, but there is a little more background than the dream of being the greatest Spectrobes trainer.
