WHY WANDERLUST?
Why Wanderlust?
6/13/2011
OVERVIEW
-
Wanderlust is a great fusion between Eastern/Western-style RPGs
-
Wanderlust has 4 character classes, which all play vastly different from one another!
-
Wanderlust has hundreds of hours of content between the four character classes and different game modes! Hundreds of hours of content FOR ONLY $10! No other game can boast this kind of value!
THE FOUR CHARACTERS
-
When you play Wanderlust: Rebirth for the first time (with say, the Elementalist), then the game will feel like a whole new game for you when you replay the game as a Cleric or Alchemist. With how varied in gameplay our four character classes are, this game intrinsically adds hundreds of additional hours of gameplay through replaying the game and trying new things!
-
The Fighter is a traditional console-action-rpg character, which should play comfortably for those of you who are fans of the Action RPG genre. He has a number of sword attacks and passive skills which improve his efficacy in combat; his offensive and defensive moves require skill and timing.
-
The Cleric is a multi-faceted and versatile character, which allows players to attack the game with a number of varied strategies; offensive, healing, or support. You can tailor your Cleric into an offensive "Paladin", or a healing "Shaman".
-
The Alchemist is "Bomberman-on-steroids"! Dash around and through enemies, or use your Dash move to dodge attacks, and throw explosive potions to weaken and defeat your foes!
-
The Elementalist is our "shooter", inspired by great arcade games such as Contra and Geometry Wars. If you're comfortable using the mouse and keyboard to play games, then this class is for you! Sling deadly and huge spell effects at enemies while simultaneously dodging their attacks!
SKILL-BASED GAMEPLAY AND CHARACTER PROGRESSION
-
When you play through a chapter, you collect awards for all the impressive feats of skill that you perform! Awards require players to use finesse, timing, patience, and awareness. Once you hone your skills as a gamer, your character will reap the benefits!
-
These awards have a point score attached to them and at the end of the chapter, your points are tallied up (and sometimes shared with your teammates) and you receive a score; if you beat your own high score for the chapter, you get more Character Points.
-
No other RPG has such a focus on player skill in combat.
-
Replaying chapters is greatly encouraged! When you first play a chapter, you will most likely achieve a 50% score (the minimum). Try coming back to that chapter after beating later chapters in order to unlock more Character Points by getting better than 50%!
-
Obtaining a 100% Chapter Rating will earn you a bonus 100 Character Points!
CO-OP STORY MODE
-
In Wanderlust: Rebirth, you will experience an epic, old-school narrative with your friends!
-
We also have 3 different endings depending on the game mode you've defeated (with one secret ending for beating the entire game, normal and epic difficulties, with a 100% rating on all chapters)!
ITEM/QUEST SYSTEM
-
In Wanderlust: Rebirth, you can find items off of enemies and bosses that you kill. In addition to this method of acquiring new items, you can quest for them!
-
Go to the ITEM/BLUEPRINT SHOP in the lobby, and take a blueprint (at no cost) for an item that you want, and then go quest for the items and tokens needed to craft it!
-
You cannot trade items with other players, because there is no challenge in that. Games are supposed to be about challenging players, and Wanderlust is no different!
EPIC AND CRAWL MODES
-
Epic Mode is so difficult and so intense, it'll separate the men from the boys! Some enemies and bosses have new attacks or abilities in this mode to further increase the challenge, and keep things fresh for players who have mastered Normal Mode!
-
Crawl Mode is awesome and it quickly becomes a huge challenge for players as you go progress! The farther you get in the crawl, the greater the rewards, but the greater the challenge! It's a great mode which focuses on loot-finding, token-grinding, and monster-slaying!
-
EPIC SCOREBOARD: On our website, if you obtain a high score on Epic Mode, or reach a never-before-seen level of difficulty in The Crawl, your name will be displayed on our website for all to see! In addition to our site-recognition, your character will brandish a huge GOLD STAR above its head, so that you can be recognized amongst your gaming peers in-game!
