For those who don't know, Spectrobes is a game that revolves around reviving a dead species called Spectrobes and fighting against an alien threat that wishes to, quite literally, eat the universe. Our hero, Rallen, must combat these "Krawl" and- Yeah, screw explaining this game. It's been too long since I last played this, dammit Spectrobes is actually one of the few DS games I've emulated that I have actually owned at one point, and I remember really enjoying it as a child. I even remember having little cards that fitted onto the touch screen that had circles cut out that, when plotted onto the screen, would give you a monster or a new skin or something. Quite fun, really. I remembered the game on a whim earlier and felt like playing it again... so why not playlog it? Index: [spoiler=Iku ze!] Welcome to Spectrobes! Reminds me of Star Wars This is our hero, Rallen And this is our assistant, so to speak. Her name's Jeena I swear she does not look like that, though. Must've screened this at an awkward frame or something Nice ship, yo Uh-huh. I doubt that, to be honest Dat head MONKEY BUSINESS Damn hoar You're a hoar too Probably I do like you more than Rallen, though Sweet. I like rain! Or the H button, in my case Getting used to this configuration is gonna take some time -_- Jeena's face scares me But save states exist THE WORLD IS AMAZING 10 years later... How convenient How do we know the name of this thing already? Rallen's expression speaks for me Meh, don't really ca- DAT HAIR IT LOOKS SO PUFFY I COULD REST MY HEAD ON IT Of course he's alive; look at that hair! This name sickens me MAYBE IF THE CAMERA MOVED I COULD TELL YOU Tornadoes do tend to move, so... Badly timed BUT THAT SPRITE This is why I had to reconfigure my controls I SEE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE A DURAMBOROS ON 'ROIDS AND A SKINNY ZINOGRE Zingore, attack! You doods don't stand a chance! FALCON PUNCH TOO WEAK Guess I should explain how the battling system works You control Rallen and your two Spectrobes follow you side-to-side. Top screen shows health and boosts, whilst the bottom shows the battle arena. L commands the left Spectrobe to attack, and R governs the right. Rallen can also attack, but most of the fighting should be kept to the Spectrobes as Rallen himself is pretty weak (he's basically useless right now). He can have weapon upgrades later on that makes him fairly competent, but he's mostly a liability. Y button shifts the battle commands to do special moves, which can be charged by holding the B button. There are four bars (not the white/blue one as shown in the picture) that can be charged, and a bar gets used whenever you do a special attack with a Spectrobe. If all four bars are charged, both Spectrobes can combine their attacks to do a super-duper attack that does a bucket load of damage to all enemies (I think. It's been a while) Each Spectrobe has three bars (HP, attack, and defence) that, when filled, level up the Spectrobe. So level 'em up! *takes out of context* Is this the monkey business Grant was on about? Yeah, you suck Yeah, they're better than you Well duh, he has man hair! HOW CONVENIENT Dat tape DEM NAMES DAT GET REKTED GG Return of Ganon plot Obligatory title drop "And no, that stupid "God" revered by the denizens of Twitch isn't a part of this" HOW CONVENIENT And we just so happen to be in it? Seems legit "Devour" As in, eat? Consume? dayum Rallen is this thing called the "main protagonist" Try it sometime Yes, somehow no shit "By being baptised in fire or some shit like that" *takes out of context yet again* ... Monkey business lolStylus b-but BITCH, I WAS JUST DOWN THERE Better be an Old Amber or something It sounds like a rip-off of Metapod Speak...? um YES, I GOTTA SPEAK... Or I can configure my microphone settings FIRST NAME POSTED BECOMES THIS DUDE'S NAME Because I'm kind like that [: ... I think I dug up too much (about to go to Genshi) Custom parts? So, like, a unique spoiler for my vehicle, or something? (rescued Prof. Wright) Birth of the Holy Knight (up to the ruins in Nessa)
