Rising star Games have just announced their partnership with renowned Japanese game developer Game Freak, best known for being the creators of Pokemon games. Together they are working on a console version of Giga Wrecker, which was first released on PC back in February 2017.
“We are excited to be working together with Rising Star Games and Thunderful to bring GIGA WRECKER Alt. to console gamers around the world.” – Game Director Masayuki Onoue
Due out later in the year for Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, the console version of the game will be called Giga Wrecker Alt and will see new and exclusive content over the PC version. This content consists of:
• Twenty brand-new puzzle stages added to the game’s Campaign mode
• New non-playable secondary character that assists players with more difficult puzzles/challenges if they become stuck for a period of time
• A new hardcore ‘Ironman’ mode that increases the damage to 5 times greater impact than normal mode.
• Overhaul of the original localization to enhance the user experience
• Italian and Traditional Chinese languages added for a total of 11 in-game languages (Japanese, English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese).
Giga Wrecker Alt is set in a 2D world with bright vibrant colours and very Manga styled artwork – as expected from Game Freak. You play the part of Reika, a young woman who is left in a world that has been suddenly invaded and left in ruins. Your task is not only to survive, but to unearth the mysteries of the invasion and try to take back the planet.
Using her powers known as ARCHE (Arms Creating and Handling Effect), you will be able to manipulate the environment and the objects within to destroy and reconstruct the surroundings to solve puzzles and to fight off the invaders. This can come in the form of constructing weapons or traps, or just plain ol’ chucking massive piles of rubble and scrap metal on your enemies’ heads!
