Kaena
Kaena is based on the French computer graphics movie Kaena: La Proph etie
(Kaena: The Prophecy), that was released in Europe in 2003.
Kaena is a girl who lives on an alien planet called Astria. In the middle of
the planet stands a giant tree called Axis, and its sap is vital to the
planet’s inhabitants. Lately, the sap has been rapidly running out for an
unknown reason. Kaena sees a dream in which Axis is calling her for an
important mission. The village people don’t believe her, but Kaena firmly
decides to venture inside of Axis and to find out what is going on. Another
motive that drives Kaena is the disappearance of Essy, her best friend’s nine-
year old brother.
The game has plenty of combat with various alien monsters. You attack enemies
in real time with your weapons, and can also perform stronger combos by
pressing several buttons in a row. Once defeated, the enemies randomly drop
little spheres of three different kinds. The first kind is used to upgrade
Kaena’s weapon and to make it more powerful, the second raises her berserk
meter (when it is full, she can perform a particularly strong attack), the
third heals her. The game has a static camera with pre-rendered backgrounds,
and character-based controls (similar to those implemented in survival horror
games).
