Forgoing the commonplace military setting for an RTS, Eco Creatures takes place<br />
in an enchanted forest known as the Mana Woods. Also, instead of acting as a<br />
general and controlling tanks, you’re a gigantic orange creature named Dorian, in<br />
charge of commanding a small pack of woodland creatures to defend your home land from<br />
environmental peril.<br />
Ordering the creatures around is quite easy, as you simply select your creature, then point<br />
him towards either your home that needs to be protected, or the enemies trying to destroy<br />
it. The simple controls ensure that the game can be enjoyed<br />
by pretty much anyone, and I like that the developers included<br />
both a right and left-handed control scheme — allowing you<br />
to move around with the face buttons if you’re a leftie, while<br />
right-handed users can use the D-pad.<br />
Players with a desire to take a more active role in the game<br />
can do so simply by touching his icon on the screen and<br />
then attacking foes with his powerful magic spells. Should<br />
you fail to defeat your foes, your homeland will be<br />
destroyed, but even if you succeed, it could still sustain<br />
some major damage. Fortunately, it can be remedied<br />
by simply planting new trees in place of the ones that<br />
were destroyed during battle. Thanks to its ease of use,<br />
environmental message, and bright color scheme, Eco<br />
Creatures stands out as an ideal RTS for newcomers to the<br />
genre, and a relaxing one that veterans can enjoy as well.<br />
A thousand years of memories lost. It’s time to discover them.<br />
From the famed creator of Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi, comes a revolutionary RPG experience<br />
rich in depth, emotion, and cinematic gameplay. In an age that has harnessed the dark power of magic,<br />
you are the mysterious, immortal Kaim—on a quest to reclaim 1,000 years of lost memories. Unlock a<br />
past infused with love, betrayal, and war to reveal the path to reclaim your life and rescue the world.<br />
