So as I was skimming my way through the footnotes of the most recent Nintendo Direct announcement, looking at update notices and other general info, I suddenly stumbled upon an interesting tidbit regarding an up-and-coming free to play game called Pokemon Rumble World. My curiosity drove me to delve a little bit deeper to find out more about the game. Here is the general rundown of the game:
Pokemon Rumble World appears to be a real time action arena game where you (the player) pit one of your own Pokemon against a mass of other wild Pokemon. As you defeat Pokemon and complete different areas, you collect Diamonds which you can then use on buying hot-air balloons, which in turn allow you to explore more regions and catch more Pokemon. You can also buy Diamonds through the Nintendo E-Shop in-game, or obtain them through StreetPass. The game boasts a collective total of 700 different Pokemon that can be caught, including some Mega-Evolutions. It also boasts unique trainer avatar customization.
It's a pretty interesting approach for Nintendo to take. Seeing as this is the first Free-to-Play Pokemon game that actually models its gameplay much more closely to other pokemon games, while still taking a unique approach to combat, I personally see great promise in this game. This could be an enticing free title that helps draw people to the console, and more importantly, encourage already existing owners to use it to the fullest.
The in-game purchases seem somewhat daunting, but Nintendo has already promised that these purchases are not necessary in order to play the game to its fullest degree.
As I stated before, this game honestly shows great promise. If it keeps true to what it claims to be, then this could be a truly marvelous experience. Until then, all we can do is hope for the best. But hey, at least it won't be for long.
