Spectrobes: Origins

Spectrobes: Origins (2009)

by Genki, Disney Interactive Studios
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Adventure
Themes:Action, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player, Co-operative
Story:Spectrobes mixes monster battling with a real-time action RPG experience, so you'll not only be managing which critter is out on the field and attacking, but also running your main character around and participating in combat the feels like a mix between classic action battle mechanics and something like Monster Hunter lite. Different weapons allow the human leads to change up styles and elemental attacks, so you can have a leaf-based blade, an electric gauntlet, ranged cannon weapons and heavier bashing melee attacks. As you progress through the game not only will your Spectrobes gain levels, but your humans will as well. It's a constant balance of progressing not only your main character, but also all of your monsters too. Tie in a search and excavate system for finding new fossils with new Spectrobes and you've got a mechanic that is addicting enough to keep the experience moving; even if the levels themselves aren't always the most inspired areas to trek through.Show more

Logged into my old account just to vote for the series on this. The story is simple, honestly. I was a kid with a wii. Didnt get the first two games until i was an adult in a used game store, so my context for what was going on was shaky. You come away with a really weird take on the past plots if this is your only one lmao. But still, i was contantly between this and My Sims. Id sit and max out my fossil capacity and then hammer them all out- i could get most spectrobes with zero damage in under 30 seconds. I liked bouncing between worlds, I liked the guitar riff on the menu, i eventually looked up how to get all the special weapons and liked using them. Took me forever to actually beat the game because i was a small and dumb kid, but me and my ketobasu spectrobe Crocs reigned supreme. Its a fat chance to get these on GoG but one can dream

I got one of the first merchandise for the Spectrobes franchise from the day it was announced to exist. I’ve been a fan ever since! I grew up with the game, and played every version as soon as it came out. The Wii version was the best. I played that so many times. Being able to play it again would be amazing, and I’d love an eventual new game for the Switch2

As being probably one of the best games of my childhood, this game has the very best of games like pokemon as well as some unique tints for the gameplay. For a young boy who discovered this game, his unique history, his worlds and aesthetic i just wish this game should be on the list
