NCS Game Synopsis & Spoilers
«©NCS»
Amidst hazy colors and a little touch-pen
interaction, a lad is transformed and
transported to the world of Pokemon where action
and adventure awaits. At the outset of the game,
players are asked to choose a Pokemon friend from
seven types including Torchic, Mudkip, Naetoru,
and Pochama. After a short naming ceremony, the
game opens up with the protagonist lying on a
beach. The Pokemon that you chose at the outset of
the game eventually finds you on the beach and a
new friendship is soon forged. Together, the two
Pokemon venture deep into dungeons where treasure
is plundered and monsters are vanquished by way of
simple touch screen tapping action. By accepting
different missions handed out by a guild, the
ultimate goal is to return to the human world.
Bonus Schwag

NCS Game Notes
» At the outset of the game when the green
haze appears on the touch screen, you're supposed
to tap on the screen and then hold the pen there until the next prompt appears.
Next, a Pokemon selection screen appears. Depending
on how you answered the questions at the outset, the
following may appear in the Pokemon
Fushigi no Dungeon Toki no Tankentai version:
Kimori (USA: Treecko)
Achamo (USA:
Torchic)
Naetoru (USA: Turtwig)
Hikozaru (USA: Chimchar)
Fushigidane (USA:
Bulbasaur)
Hitokage (USA: Charmander)
Pikachu (USA:
Pikachu)
After choosing a Pokemon, a name entry screen pops
up. You can keep the Pokemon's given name or change
it to something else in hiragana, katakana, or
English.
The Pokemon
Fushigi no Dungeon Yamii no Tankentai characters
at the outset depend on how you answered the
questions in the introduction but we got:
Waninoko (USA: Totodile)
Kimori (USA: Treecko)
Achamo (USA:
Torchic)
Mizugorou (USA:
Mudkip)
Naetoru (USA: Turtwig)
Hikozaru (USA: Chimchar)
Pochama (USA: Piplup)
»
After the name entry, the game introduction begins
with the sound of wind and rain in the background
against a black backdrop. The occasional peal of
thunder may be heard from time to time.
»
The next day, the storm is over and the sun shines
on a serene ocean scene and the surf may be heard in
the background. The camera opens up on a beach where
a violet-colored Pokemon named Eneko has washed up
ashore. The screen goes to black and the Pokemon that you chose
earlier is standing in front of an altar while two
bonfires on either side of it flicker.
In our case, we chose Mudkip in the beginning and it'll run around
shortly before settling down. A flat-topped rock
marked with a strange looking sigil is chanced upon.
After a short while, Mudkip scampers off down the
stairs and two airborne monsters float over the area
where he was just scampering. One of them looks like
a bat and another is a spherical creature with
bumps.
»
The scene shifts back to the beach where two crabs
are blowing bubbles. Mudkip scampers in and the
bubbles waft through the sky as the sun is about to
set. Mudkip continues walking to the left and finds
Eneko who washed up earlier. Mudkip runs over and
Eneko wakes up and the two have a conversation while
the waves continue crashing in the background. You
will be able to give Eneko a new name and we
called it "Busta" since "Buster" wouldn't fit in the
five-space-name-entry line. After the naming
ceremony, the two aerial Pokemon from earlier appear
and knock Mudkip down from behind. There's a mild
confrontation before the two evil Pokemon fly off to
the left side of the screen. Soon afterwards, Mudkip
and Busta also run off to the left.
»
In the next scene, both Mudkip and Busta are inside
a dungeon (B1F) facing off against three monsters.
Tap on a monster to attack it in a turn-based
battle system. After a few hits, all three monsters are
defeated and the two Pokemon in your party can be
controlled directly with the d-pad. They'll also
move if you tap on a point on the touch screen and
they'll dutifully head on over.
»
When traveling around inside the dungeon, a map
outline of the local area is superimposed on the
touch screen to show your current location. Busta
does the attacking and Mudkip stands in the
background providing backup offensives, support, and
healing services to make sure Busta stays alive.
»
To attack an enemy monster, tap on it on the
touch screen or face it and press the "A" button.
» Pokemon Dungeon is a standard exploration game in
the vein of Rogue which features two Pokemon in the party
at the outset but additional party members may join
the crew later on. Each monster in the party can attack
as long as it is contiguous to the enemy. On the fifth level of
the first dungeon, the party will find the two evil Pokemon from earlier flapping in front of a
underground lagoon. An encounter starts but the two
evil Pokemon are easy to defeat. They
give up the flat-topped rock with sigil on top and
fly off in a hurry. Mudkip grabs the rock and the
next scene shows Busta and Mudkip on the beach again
where Busta was originally found.
»
The game features over 490 types of Pokemon to
interact with and engage. The Wi-fi function allows
far-away friends to participate in your game if
called upon.
