春の嵐が、村を一晩で壊した。 建て直すには木も鉄も要る。けれど買う金はない。 だから、獣の島へ渡る。 ■ 指一本で戦う、45秒の遠征 画面をなぞって狙いを定めるだけ。 仲間が斧を振り、矢を撃ち、盾を構えます。 1回の遠征は45秒。持ち帰った資源で、次の遠征が少し楽になります。 ■ 盾は、向いた方向しか守らない 「おれが守れるのは、お前が向いている方向だけだ。背中までは無理だ」 守る向きを選ぶことは、他を捨てること。 ボスの予告が出たら、そちらへ向き直るか、攻め続けるか。 一瞬の判断が、勝敗を分けます。 ■ 島ごとに、一から組み直す強化ツリー 森の島では斧と実り。鉱山の島では削岩と発破。 島が変われば資源も仲間も変わり、強化の組み方も変わります。 ■ 二つの島、20のステージ、四人の仲間 森の島では、幼馴染のゲンとスイと。 鉱山の島では、坑道を潰した過去を持つロウと、発破師のトキと。 節目ごとに、短い物語があり、あとから読み返せます。
