The story of Bakugan: Battle Brawlers revolves
around a set of metallic cards that mysteriously fall from space. On
finding them, kids from around the planet discover that the cards also
provide access to a variety of monsters that can be pitted against each
other and so develop a game based on the cards and monsters and set up
tournaments. One group of these kids, who name themselves the "Bakugan
Battle Brawlers" and who are led by Dan, find that the cards also serve
as a link to a parallel dimension known as Vestroia. Here they discover
that the game and its monsters that they are dedicated to mastering is
tied to an imbalance of positive and negative energy in Vestroia. This
imbalance must be corrected to avoid unspeakable consequences for
Vestroia, and since a link has been made to the Earth, eventually the
kids' home as well.
Those who have played
the popular Bakugan card game might already have an idea of
how gameplay works in Bakugan: Battle Brawlers, but
the video game adds several new elements. The game is something
of a cross between marbles and a live action card game. To get
started you'll first need to enter your name, select an
attribute and create your character. Then you'll be ready
to explore the world of Bakugan. If you can't wait
to start battling your friends, then head straight to the
Battle Arena, but if you want to be the best you have to learn
the rules. The goal of Bakugan: Battle Brawlers is to win the
game by collecting three "gate cards." Gate cards are
collected by winning battles against opponents. As a
starting move each player sets down one metallic gate card.
Then you're ready to roll your Bakugan, which is in the
form of a ball. After throwing you can steer your Bakugan
around the environment so that it lands on the perfect card
and collects powerups. The aim is to get your Bakugan to stand on
a card, and that happens when they roll over it slowly. Once the
Bakugan stands, it will transform into Battle Mode. Now
you're ready to battle. A battle begins when two Bakugan
from different players stand on the same gate card. The
gate card then opens and both bakugan transform into
Monster Mode, and are ready to fight. The gate card can add "G-Power"
to a Bakugan according to its world attribute (color) and can
also change the rules of the battle. Players can also
boost their G-power by doing well in battle. The Bakugan
with the highest G-power at the end of the battle wins.
After battling, you can also use the points you have won to upgrade your Bakugan, acquire new in-game items, engage in Tag Team or Battle Royale action, or hone your skills by practicing your moves and strategy with Dan. |
