Inochi Project is a 3D online adventure where you create, customise and play as interchangeable robotic ani-mechs. The game is made using the Unity engine and features futuristic cartoon stylized graphics. The game revolves around the rust: a malevolent mechanical disease is slowly infecting the wildlife and world of the Inochi’s home, Shine Planet.
The games core is the ability to customise a robotic animal by interchanging its parts, colours and textures which means that as the Inochi Project player, you can make your game character as unique as you are. There are millions of possible combinations for you to create and play. The player’s Ani-Mech becomes further customisable as you make your way through the world unlocking new and rare characters through quests, trade and achievements.
The customisation doesn’t stop at the players Ani-Mech though. You have the ability to customise your own 3D Home and personal Training Arena. In your Home area you can drag & drop objects to surround yourself with items bought or unlocked during your Inochi Project game-play journey, creating a bespoke area that suits your tastes. In the Training Arena the player can level up their XP by performing varying and evolving Training Tasks, focusing on their choice of key ability areas such as speed or endurance. As you progress through the game you unlock new items for customising your Training Arena become available through completing quests, challenges or purchases.
Gameplay in Inochi Project revolves around two main aspects: battling and exploration.
The battle elements take place throughout the Inochi Project world and are driven by the goal of helping restore the lands to their pre-rust state. The battles are turn based and feature an expanding move pool from each of the Inochi Project house disciplines covering strength, endurance, attitude, speed, intelligence and luck. There is also a 7th style which covers the mysterious and legendary Inochi powers. The six houses of Shine City each boast their own unique fighting style and teach the ancient traditions behind it to those they deem worthy. These moves and powers, like the Ani-Mech parts, become available to the player through quests, trade and achievements. The player’s battle abilities and XP levels can be boosted and further customised using their own personal Training Arena.
Exploration encompassing story driven quests is the other main gameplay focus in Inochi Project. Shine City is host to a multitude of places to discover and challenges to undertake, such as unlocking the mysteries of the Inochi Orbs or competing in races at Nana Panda’s garden. With adventure, story, competition and customisation driven through the whole of Inochi Project, our vision of creating an awesome and varied game experience is hopefully on the right track.
