Games edit

Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs edit

Combat of Giants: Dinosaurs, known as Battle of Giants: Dinosaurs in North America, is a video game in the Combat of Giants series developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft for the Nintendo DS. It was released on October 14, 2008 in North America, and October 30, 2008 in PAL territories. The basic gameplay uses the touchscreen to allow the player to control one of 26 species of dinosaur. The dinosaurs are divided into the following six classes, each with a bonus in one of three statistical areas. Ravenous predators and vicious predators receive an attack bonus, witty scavengers and horned territorials receive a speed bonus and long necks and mighty tanks receive a defense bonus. The player chooses the dinosaur's name, species and color at the beginning. They can change its color in the grotto. They use the stylus to move and ward of other dinosaurs in level 2 and above. The player must collect 4 fossils and 100 eggs to progress to the next level. They earn eggs by defeating other dinosaurs and earn fossils by tapping dirt with the stylus. The game also features modern day machinery, which are playable in the Quick Match mode after being beaten.

Combat of Giants: Dragons edit

Combat of Giants: Dragons, known as Battle of Giants: Dragons in North America, is a video game in the Combat of Giants series developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft for the Nintendo DS. It was released on September 29, 2009 in North America and on October 2, 2009 in Europe. In the game, an extensive war between dragons and humans caused the Lord of all the Dragons, Ninnurtu, to gather the noble Ebebu dragons and the foul Salmu dragons and combine their powers to create Tammabuku, their own world in which they could have peace. However, the Salmu dragons stole the gems of the Ebebu dragons which were the power source of all the dragons and Ninnurtu was left powerless from creating the world. The player, the last Ebebu dragons, has to win back all of the gems stolen by the Salmu dragons and continue Ninnurtu's legacy as the Lord of all the Dragons.

The gameplay is divided into two parts: Exploration and Gameplay. Exploration mode allows the Player to freely roam in an area to complete objectives, unlock certain areas, and fight Salmu dragons. When the Player gets too close to an opponent dragon, the Combat mode is triggered. Combat mode is a turn-based fight where the Player can either attack, block or dodge to gain Dirga necessary to use Special Attacks from the gems. Each copy of the game comes with a booster pack containing cards. There are "dragon" cards and "gem" cards. The dragons are based on the dragons that you fight within the game in terms of appearance and names. The gem cards have 15-character codes that can be entered into the game to acquire powerful Gold gems.
