## About This Game
Collect, Craft, and Battle! After crash-landing on an alien planet, you find
your sibling missing. Playing as either Kenji or Lucy, you’ll have to venture
out into this dangerous planet in search of your kin. Battle and scan wild
monsters to acquire new moves for battle, unlock different types, and build
Growbots of your very own to fight alongside you.

Classic RPG gameplay!

Growbots is an RPG at its core, calling upon the same mechanics that made the
genre’s classics great. It features vast customizability in types, movesets,
and stats which means no two units will be identical, and there is a great
deal of importance to your choices. Couple this with Active Turn-Based Combat
and Item Crafting to explore a wealth of possibilities.

Growbots is going to be a new spin on the monster-collecting genre, while
remaining truthful to its RPG roots, and we need YOU to join us on this
journey.

Active Turn-based Combat!

Fight in a real time Turn-Based combat system with up to eight party members
against wild monsters and trainers alike! Quick decision making is key, as
both you and your opponent’s ability to fight is determined by how fast you
react. Turn order is dictated by the agility-based ATB Bar, and once it’s your
turn, you better be ready, your time to act is limited.

Strike out with Overcharge moves!

The more you fight, the more your Overcharge meter fills. Once charged, you’ll
have an ultra-powerful Overcharge move at your disposal. You can use it
immediately to take down your current foe, or save it for a future battle, the
choice is yours!

Crafting and buying items for battle!

As you traverse this foreign land, you’ll come across a variety of different
materials. Gather them to craft items which will aid you in battle. Anything
from healing to scanners can be manufactured or bought from vendors for your
use in the troubles that come your way.

Scanning and Dna!
In order to grow your own Growbot, you must use a crafted item called a
Scanner. From the weaker Basic Scanner to the advanced Ultra Scanner, use them
on wild monsters to acquire ‘Scan-Data’. Gather enough ‘Scan-Data’ and ‘Dna’,
a resource dropped from defeated monsters, and you can incubate and grow your
Growbot. ‘Scan-Data’ can also be used to unlock new types and to unlock moves
unique to the scanned monsters.

Your Growbot and You.

Growbots come in all shapes and sizes, and even those of the same species are
unique from one another since they can be customized in many different ways.
\- When they level up, some stats are randomly distributed, but you can also
use Reserve Points gained on level ups to manually alter stats.
\- You can have up to three moves equipped, learning moves from level ups and
scanning.
\- Once all types are unlocked through scanning, you can freely change their
two types between a total of eight at any time you want. Types change not only
their playstyles and moves learned as you level up, but also their color
palettes.
\- 1/1500 Growbots will be Glitched, further changing the color palette.
