Superhero

The player is placed in a fantasy world where there are two factions at war. The character is a mercenary with an uncanny ability to kill. You as the player get to choose what side of the war you want to be on. The two sides are split between good and evil but if the player chooses to, the player can decide to not partake in the war and instead run jobs for either side and play both sides off each other as a mercenary or they can decide to not be a warrior and be an expert in stealth. If the character chooses to not join a side, he/she will eventually be presented with a situation where they must choose a side or there will be consequences for the avatar.

The player can choose from a wide array of weapons that depends on the stats the user gives the avatar. Through training in the game, the character can learn the skills necessary to wield different weapons. Weapons that will be available: Swords, axe, bow and arrow, knife, and a flail. There will be items in the environment such as rocks, animals, trees (for some), dust, and magical spells.

The game will use the Nintendo Revolution’s controller with the analog stick attachment as its main input device. This control method is the best one available to create an immersive experience that is different from any other game in this genre.

The control input is:

Revolution Controller

Directional Pad – Weapon select, weapons are mapped onto a direction (up, down, left, right

Y – Use magic 2
