Niche Spotlight – Giga Wrecker: Robust, 2D Action-Adventure by Game Freak

This is Niche Spotlight. In this column, we regularly introduce new games to our fans, so please leave feedback and let us know if there’s a game you want us to cover!

Game Freak is mostly known for the Pokemon series, however they’re not owned by Nintendo and as such they sometimes develop games outside the monster-battling RPG genre.

Their most recent foray into a new game is actually an entirely new IP called Giga Wrecker, and it’s now available for PC.

The game is described as an “action adventure” experience where you play as Reika, a girl who has the ability to manipulate debris while exploring and battling through a land filled with an evil army of robots.

Featured above, you can view the game’s latest trailer. The game features some notable staff, including concept designs by Asagiri, and Shinji Hosoe as the composer.

Here are the game’s key features:

  • Mixture of exploration and physics
    Smash down towering walls, use rubbles as platform and climb high cliffs……This game is an innovative mixture of physics and stage exploration.
  • Combination of puzzle and action
    Crush enemies with a falling object, think and choose the right weapon for the right situation……you can enjoy the achievement of solving puzzles and gimmicks, beating traps and enemies.
  • Special abilities
    The player character has the power called ARCHE(ARms Creating and Handling Effect), the ability to construct various weapons using rubbles and scraps from broken objects.
  • Each weapon has its own unique effect, so make full use of them to explore through the stages.

You can find Giga Wrecker here on Steam.
