Creation
Creation
Nokia first publicly worked on the game in July 2007 under the code name Project White Rock for their upcoming N-Gage 2.0 platform. The game was developed by RedLynx. Reset Generation was Nokia's flagship game for their platform and therefore high budget. Soundtrack for the game was composed by 8 Bit Weapon. The Windows version of the game was available free whereas the N-Gage version costed £8/€10 for the full game - with limited-time licenses available at lower prices and a free trial version.
Features
Features
• Illustration — Some heroes are parodies of known video game characters. • Illustration — Reset Generation arcade match Reset Generation includes ten archetypal characters easily recognizable by older players who grew up with the NES and Mega Drive/Genesis, with some of the more easily recognizable characters being a hedgehog, plumber, monster trainer and a level 50 elf. Apart from having 4-player matches, the game also offers an 18 mission-based single-player campaign. The gameplay has the player try to "rescue" a princess, which is being held in the castle(s) of your opponent(s). Each player must try and breach another player's castle and then return the princess home to their own. Succeeding in rescuing (or capturing, rather) another player's princess eliminates him or her from the game. Players can pick up different items like springs, teleports, BFGPs and Monster Boxes or use the hero's special power to accomplish this target. The computer version of the game is a browser game that can be played through the Reset Generation official website or it can be embedded onto any other website with the provided source code. Reportedly however only Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox are compatible. Both the N-Gage and PC version of the game are mutually compatible, thus players of the N-Gage and PC versions of the game can play each other in multiplayer mode.
