1st Century After Tsunami 2265
Description
It’s the year 2118 and a cataclysmic seaquake has enveloped not only Japan, but a sizeable portion of the world. Those who remain alive ally themselves, and for the first time the world is united under a single flag; a nation known as the Terrestrial Republic. Power-hungry corporations and their leaders, however, have seized the opportunity to lord over self-proclaimed kingdoms, battling one another for land and scant resources. A mysterious energy source known as ELENA (Earth Light Energy Alpha) sits at the center of the conflict. In the roles of both Naoko Hikari and Neon Shima, you must venture through 13 levels spread across eight environments in this third-person shooter. Utilizing the graphical rendering technique known as “cel-shading,” Tsunami 2265 attempts to mirror the visuals found in Japanese cartoons known as anime.
Gameplay is split into two distinct styles: the first has you piloting one of a variety of mechs armed with missiles and a laser weapon, both of which have infinite supplies of ammunition. Populating these shoot-em-up sections of the title are enemy mechs and robots that must be dispatched in order to continue unhindered. The second style of play comprises a few “adventure” levels interspersed between the action-oriented mech levels. Here, players must leave the safety of their mech and head out on foot. In these levels players need to find keys or manipulate objects in order to gain access to secured areas, while armed only with a basic pistol for self-defense. You’re given a handful of chances to complete each level; lose all of them all and you’ll need to restart the level from the beginning. …
