'Falling Stars' Coming to PS2 - Screens

by Rainier on May 12, 2008 @ 3:16 p.m. PDT

Falling Stars is an RPG aimed at children, and features an engrossing story with many hours of gripping gameplay. As the player solves the mysteries of Dazzleon, they must train their own pet, dress their character in an assortment of unique outfits, participate in seven exciting mini-games, and battle deadly monsters.

Players star as Luna, a young girl living in Dazzleon, who longs for something more. One day, her uncle, Matt visits and discovers a mine that seems to possess odd powers. He becomes so intrigued that he decides to stay and investigate. Soon, to the horror of Luna and her neighbors, he becomes obsessed with the mine as it starts to possess him (so much that it turns his skin green!). He begins to experiment on his pets and in the process, turns them into evil monsters. Because it’s her uncle, Luna feels responsible for his actions and desperately looks for a solution. She comes across one when she finds and adopts her uncle’s lost pet. She decides to train her pet in order to challenge her uncle to the ultimate battle to restore Dazzleon back to its original, peaceful village.

In “Falling Stars,” players will be able to help Luna’s neighbors by completing quests, playing mini games, training and battling with their pet, and delving deeper into the mystery that surrounds Dazzleon.

“Falling Stars brings on a whole different genre of adventure RPG,” says producer Mark Johnson, Agetec. “Gameplay has been designed with young girls and boys in mind; with cute characters, fun mini games, and simplified controls. These features encourage the younger crowd to play and fall in love with their first RPG.”

“The best part about this game is not only does it have the usual RPG elements: intriguing storyline, quests, missions, battles, and so forth, but it gives you an opportunity to be creative and customize Luna’s attire,” says Ivolgamus. “The dress-up portion is what really makes the game stand out; not only can you dress Luna to your liking, but what you wear will also affect how neighbors will treat you. If neighbors like the way you dress, they will start offering you missions, quests, mini-games – they’ll even offer you better prices and trades; however, if they don’t like the way you dress, they might not even talk to you!”
