3D Dot Game Heroes Game Mechanics + Mini-Games update.

[Euphoria14]

I wanted to update everyone on what 3D Dot Game Heroes offers, so here you go.

 

 

Mini-Games

 

 

 

Dash Race Use your character's dash move to race through a course. Get the fastest time, and you'll earn rewards.Block DefenseA 3D Dot Game Heroes twist on tower defense. You position blocks of such form as "Arrow Block," "Air Block," "Missile Block," and "Fire Block." These blocks attack incoming enemies formations. It seems like you can also lend a helping hand and directly attack the enemy.

 

 

Combat Mechanics

You press circle to swing your sword or hold it to dash, X to use your sub weapon (including, a boomerang, bomb, and bow and arrow), and R1 to raise your shield. It's possible to make your character do a rotating slash as well. When you attack with your sword you can direct your slash with the D-Pad or analog stick (depending on which your controlling your character with). This allows you to take out surrounding enemies. Initial impressions say that the combat system seems to be more skill based than your typical RPG.

Also note that as the hero progresses, he'll be able to use "Shader Magic". Shader Magic spells have rendering-themed names like Parallax Map, Reflection, Normal Map and Frozen Shader. You'll have to use these both to combat enemies and as a means of solving puzzles.

You can also lock your character into facing one direction, allowing you to strafe around and block incoming attacks with your shield. The game also lets you cycle through subweapons and magic quickly, without going into the main menu, allowing you to easily switch off between boomerangs to stun enemies, bombs to blast holes in walls, and arrows to strike at distant foes.
