SouthPeak Interactive Corporation has today announced that a duo of
mighty mushroom games are coming to Wii and NintendoDS this March.
Mushroom Men: The
 Spore
Wars on Wii and Rise of the Fungi
on NintendoDS, offer gamers a unique Platform adventure, from the
perspective of a tiny hero with a big mission.
To get a behind-the-scenes look at how these fantastic titles were
made, SouthPeak is releasing a series of developer diaries that
showcase different elements from the game; including music, combat
and gameplay. Over the coming days, new diaries will be released on
the Internet, so mushroom maniacs should stay glued to their
computer screens for more details.
In Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi players choose from three
classes of 'shrooms - Heavy, Sage or Scout - each with their own
strengths and weaknesses. Players then take up makeshift weapons to
battle in defense of the peaceful Bolete and technological Morel
societies. Set as a 2.5D side-scrolling Action/Platformer, the story
takes on a perspective of three-inch tall mushrooms in a vast human
landscape.
Your journey will take you through the early stages of the mushroom
world, as these tribes set up communities, build homes and craft
weapons to defend the life they've so recently received. Step
through mushroom history as these societies battle for their place
and to save their kind from the war-like Lepiotas and Amanitas
mushrooms.
Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars takes a slightly different
direction. Picking up after the Rise of the Fungi story concludes,
players end up under the mushroom cap of PAX, an outcast mushroom
trying to find his place in society. In a Third-Person Action/Platformer,
PAX learns he's different for a very good reason, uncovering new
talents he never knew he had.
Using the Wii Remote motion controls, players have PAX running,
jumping, gliding and spore-powering his way through level after
level of everyday scenarios from a three-inch perspective. Join him
in his quest to help the Bolete and Morel tribes repel the attacks
of the Lepiota and Amanita armies, all the while discovering what
his role is in this wild new world. |
