Deforestation, pollution, global
warming and industrialization are just some of the many important themes
in Eco Creatures: Save the Forest, a real-time strategy (RTS)
game for the Nintendo DS being published by Majesco Entertainment
Company. Developed by Lightweight Co. Ltd. and Headlock
Corporation, Eco Creatures is the only game that promotes
awareness of environmental perils while tasking players with defending
the Mana Woods against them.
Eco Creatures: Save the Forest is a real-time strategy game in which
players use the Touch Screen to control units of woodland
creatures-named Ecolis, Ecoby and Ecomon-that will protect the naturally
beautiful Mana Woods and recover the polluted land. All creature types
have unique skills that must be strategically managed. With proper
nurturing, they can evolve to learn new abilities that help a player
complete the game's more than 40 environmental missions. As players grow
their woodland army, they must also plant new trees to prevent
deforestation and revitalize the woodlands.
In addition, Eco Creatures includes a creative Land Make feature that
lets players build and play their own maps. This eco-friendly RTS also
supports two-player play via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, and up to four
players via single card download play or ad-hoc multi-card play.
Eco Creatures: Save the Forest is expected to launch in early 2008 for
the Nintendo DS.
