[Wii] Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon - doki doki jinpan flashlightan ikimasho!

Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon is a new Wii RPG developed by tri-Crescendo of Baten Kaitos & Eternal Sonata fame (published by Namco). In the game you star as a boy named Seto who's in search of answers to the mystery of what happened to all the world's population in a not to distant future Earth. In the ruins of the cities you explore you'll find spirits, demons and other creatures while you search for other people to keep you company. You'll also see clues such as writing and drawings on walls in the various facilities that will help you solve puzzles, and ultimately the puzzle of what really happened.

Not a video but some info about the 4 different combat weapon systems.

First you should know that a lot of enemies will be invisible in weak light, the light of a flashlight is used to make them visible and weaken them.

1st is the rod system (wooden sticks, crowbar). This system can do quick, multiple strikes in a
row and if you press the A-button at the right time you can do a more powerful attack!


2nd is the hammer system (axe, hammer?). This system can do a powerful downward attack, you
can charge up the swing attack by holding down the A-button and still run around.


3rd is the spear system (laundry pole, long items). This system has a long reach and can also be
charged.


4th is the archery system (bow & arrow). A sighting cursor is displayed on screen and you release
the A-button to shoot. You can't use the bow & arrow and the flashlight at the same time.


There's nowhere I can't reach.

They make up for it by making sure you know who's not the man though..


This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
