March of War

Above are sprites from yet another new game I'm developing called March of War. It's a game inspired by the PSP game, Patapon. The game is rhythm-based with elements of strategy mixed in. The player controls their army by pressing different combnations of keys for different actions the player wants the army to perform, including attack, defend, andvance, or retreat. The game is like Guitar Hero in that the player must press the keys at the right time in sync with the beat.

While Patapon is based around a tribal setting, my game is set in the WWI era. The story is pretty early in development but basically your army is fighting a war against an evil army. You will need to upgrade your units to be stronger an to get better weapons. The ones shown above are the default forms of the units, so they might seem a little bland.

I'm also planning to put an "Uber Mode" which you will have the option to use once you have strung together enought combos. In uber mode you choose whether to use an uber attack, defense, retreat, or advance. An uber attack will send a stealth bomber-airstrike to the designated area. An uber defense will set up a dome-shaped force field around your army making you temporarily invincible. And an uber retreat and advance brings you hellicopters in which your army rides either away from or towards your attacking enemy. (BTW, the uber in the name allows these technoligies to exist before the have been invented =p)

That is all. At Ease.

OK, you are making a carbon copy of Patapon with different sprites is what you're saying, right?

@Lethal: I'd be lying if I said no.
