Mega Man Star Force: Dragon
Many years in the future, humankind has finally discovered extraterrestrial
life. In an effort to make contact with aliens, they have created a Space
Station called ‘Peace’. However, the space station mysteriously vanished, and
all attempts to find it were in vain. Now, three years later, the son of one
of those on-board the satellite has an encounter with an alien life-form from
the Planet FM. The alien, Omega-Xis (or Mega for short) meets Geo Stelar.
Together, they are able to explore Earth’s hidden Wave World and become Mega
Man.
_Mega Man Star Force_ is an Action RPG in the vein of Mega Man Battle
Network. Players assume the role of Geo Stelar, who can explore the real world
of Earth. All devices in Earth use a wireless network called the Wave World to
send data and communicate. By merging with Mega, Geo becomes Mega Man and can
explore the Wave World to destroy viruses, fix machines, and read secret info
in people’s Transer devices (which allow communication between others).
As Mega is a fugitive, he is being hunted by others from Planet FM. This means
that other nasty FM-ians will turn up and cause trouble on Earth, and Mega Man
will need to fight them. Battles take place on the top screen in third person,
behind Mega Man. At the start of each turn, you can select your cards which
can be used as powerful attacks or defenses for Mega Man. You can move Mega
Man left or right to avoid attacks and shoot, or you can put up a shield to
block most attacks. At the end of a battle, you are rewarded with money,
health, or even new cards, depending on how well you did.
Unique to the game is the “Brother Band” system, which lets other people lend
you their powers and cards. The more Brothers you link up with, the more
powerful your Mega Man becomes. You can either link up with virtual Brothers
in the game, or real friends online through Nintendo WFC or local wireless.
After a key point in the game, Mega Man can also use the power of the Dragon
Satellite. You can also connect up with friends who have the other satellite
versions of the game to gain their powers too.
