[edit] DS Version

This version of the game is currently in development. It has a different campaign than the Wii version, and will be the first game in the series released, with the Wii sequel arriving after Sadness. It is being refined by a separate team within Nibris, who have released screenshots of the game running on a PC, and a short trailer [1] which discloses some information regarding the game:

  • The story appears to be set over multiple dimensions.
  • There will be six campaigns, set in six different timelines.
  • Gameplay is over both screens, and includes the ability to slow time, "bullet scrape". Also, there is a manual targeting system.

[edit] Wii Version

The main character of the game is an Iraq war veteran by the name of David McBride, who accidentally discovers the top-secret plans of Molayarius. Molayarius are an evil cult who plan to summon the demon Baphomet into the world. Playing as McBride, the player must engage in 10 levels of intense air combat and try to ruin these plans. As the player is hurled across time and to various locations across the globe, the player will be led by the mysterious and deadly Anna Stolarczyk, who will help you in this quest.

The mission in most levels are to destroy a temple and sundial in each area or time period, while avoiding the constant attack from enemy forces. These forces, however, will not be the only problems the player will face. Certain levels have environmental challenges against you; in one level, for example, you must fly with the compromise of a blinding sun. Another sees you piloting in thunder and hail, while an earlier mission features a meteor storm.

No details are currently known as to how this game will use the Wii's unique controller. However, it has been speculated by various fans that the controller will be held such as a toy plane, as seen in the Nintendo-developed Wii Sports: Airplane, and maneuvering it to fly around the levels.

[edit] Vehicles

A variety of different air-units available to pilot in the game have been shown, including fighter planes, helicopters and even Leonardo Da Vinci's flying machine.
