STEAMY RPG SET FOR SEPTEMBER RELEASE ON PS2
Wednesday, 5th July Publishing label 505 Gamestreet is proud to
present Steambot Chronicles - a relaxing non-linear
role-playing adventure from legendary Japanese developer IREM.
Steambot Chronicles launches for PlayStation 2 in September and
offers players a unique and exciting virtual world full of
possibilities. It's a world where you decide just what type of
gameplay you experience, how the plot unfolds and even who the
main hero turns out to be. Players begin their adventure by
filling the cel-shaded shoes of young adventurer Vanilla Beans,
who awakes on a beach with no memory of where he is or how he
got there. Vanilla is befriended by Connie, a singer who had
lost her band mates, and the pair soon set off together on an
unforgettable quest. The world of Steambot Chronicles presents
the player with a uniquely open-ended role-playing experience.
It's up to the player to explore the world and talk to the
locals to piece together their own story. By playing mini-games
and completing missions and subquests players can choose to
become a fighter or an explorer, a chef or a bandit - or a
mixture of all these and more besides. In every interaction
with the game's colourful inhabitants, players also have
multiple options to respond and communicate. These include
kindly, meanly or even with a joke. Every decision has an
impact in the world of Steambot Chronicles. Lovers of combat
are also well catered for. The game feature enormous
steam-powered craft called Trotmobiles, or Trots, for short.
These can be used in organised battles, to pummel rivals and
assimilate their parts, or they can be used for the greater
good, by ferrying stranded locals from place to place for
instance. Steambot Chronicles is the ultimate in
"sandbox"-style gaming and is bursting with activities, quests
and mini-games. Steambot Chronicles, developed by IREM and
published in the UK by 505 Gamestreet, launches in September
for PlayStation 2, priced £29.99. -ENDS- For more information
