Product Overview:
"Kameo" is a magical, epic adventure full of magnificent
exploration and intense combat. The future of the world depends
on Kameo, who must capture, grow and unleash a wide assortment
of incredible monsters to combat ever-present evil, and rescue
her three Elemental Ancestors from the Dark Troll King, who
threatens the planet and its wildlife.
In true Rare Ltd. fashion, the world is wondrous and immense
to explore, the puzzles and challenges are brilliant, and
the monster-oriented combat and exploration is innovative
and unique.
Key Features:
1. Innovative monster-based combat system. Kameo has
the unique ability to morph in real time into a wide variety
of incredible monsters, each with its own strengths and fighting
style. To fight the hordes of evil, players will strategically
employ 18 elemental monsters from each of the Six Elements
of Power: Plant, Water, Rock, Ice, Wind and Fire. They can
choose a plant that boxes for up-close combat, a rock monster
to launch a silo of rocks, or a wind monster that specializes
in ground-to-air attacks. Fast-paced action, epic-style battles
and massive boss encounters will require players to think
and act quickly using their boundless monster repertoire.
2. Monsters: essential to exploration. Monsters are
not only key for combat, they are vital tools to expand players'
journey. Each monster offers unique abilities that enable
players to open up and safely explore new areas. Intelligent
use of monsters is critical to solving puzzles and avoiding
obstructions, traps and enemies. For example, players can
travel underground as a plant monster or light up dark areas
using a fire-based monster.
3. Building an arsenal of monsters. Kameo's powers
grow through hunting and capturing a massive collection of
monsters, but this is no easy task. Players join forces with
sidekick Meepo and use stealth, quickness and puzzle-solving
to capture these sneaky little creatures. They grow their
monsters and expand their monster arsenal as they increase
their ability to explore the world and defeat enemies and
challenges.
4. Epic adventure across an immense world. Players
of "Kameo: Elements of Power" explore a vast and
magical world filled with lush environments, thriving wildlife,
wondrous creatures, clever puzzles and big challenges. Gorgeous
3-D environments with sprawling hills, fertile valleys and
daunting lairs cover 20 fantasy-style locations. Players can
enter the dangerous Troll Castle and discover more than 30
areas to explore. As they journey through the expansive land,
players will ultimately take part in three amazing boss encounters.
5. Wondrous fantasy world. As the story unfolds in
storybook fashion, players are immersed in a magnificent kingdom
of monsters and magic that is beautifully crafted to satiate
the wildest imagination. The rich story line, spectacular
use of monsters, and epic journey will completely and immediately
connect players to a faraway land. Players can archive their
adventure in the Wotnot, a magical archiving book featuring
Ortho the Magician, by collecting monsters, more than 30 incidental
creatures and tons of useful objects.
