The game recreates the beautifully illustrated island of Gorm, where the Lords of Earth, Sea, Air and Forest are charged with stopping the evil Magmion from wreaking havoc. The action opens with a character called Razzle knocking some old books into a Portal as he cleans a dusty library. These books tumble down to Gorm and land at the feet of Magmion, the evil Lava Gormiti. Magmion reads them and learns of an old legend which tells of reuniting five sacred amulets which have been scattered across Gorm. Once collected, these amulets will open an inter-dimensional portal to Earth! The Lords of Nature need to use all their unique powers to hinder Magmion’s plans and save Earth. In addition to the story and arcade modes that both versions share, the Wii game sees two players working together co-operatively. It also features clever puzzle games, wherein tiles or jigsaw pieces relating to each of the main characters must be collected and assembled. The completed image then reveals an interactive 3D character. All FMV sequences in Gormiti: The Lords of Nature! have been voiced by actors from the cartoon show, and once unlocked, a full 40 minutes of action can be watched in order. Both the Wii and Nintendo DS titles feature a wealth of key elements from the TV series, as players directly control three of the Lords of Nature within a group. Using the individual skills of each Lord, players battle Magmion’s minions using melee ‘Super’ attacks, or powerful long-ranged moves, and can switch between their various skills with ease. Gameplay is enhanced with puzzles and obstacles that must be overcome using the skills of the three Lords at the player’s disposal. |
