Destrega is the newest game from Koei's Omega Force team, the group responsible for last year's stunning Dynasty Warriors. When word leaked out that Omega Force was developing a game that featured medieval fighters, mouths watered with anticipation. What has arrived is almost something completely different, however.
Initial impressions of the game draw comparisons to Taito's Psychic Force, albeit a ground-based one. In Destrega, your fighters can utilize a variety of long-range attacks as well as the up-close-and-personal kind. Different buttons will activate different attacks: spread shot, power shot, and quick shot. Complete with a rock-scissors-paper hierarchy, Destrega's battle system is unique at the very least.
Land obstacles actually make a difference in this game as changes in elevation as well as structures can be used to block incoming attacks. The arenas are quite varied - ranging from hilly mountainsides to courtyards with fountains - and will offer a unique strategy at every level.
