Jess' Quest

Jess' Quest is an action hack-and-slash developed by RTA Games. It is for the V² and was announced at the Fantendo 9th Anniversary Showcase.
==Gameplay==
Jess' Quest is an open-world action game with hack and slash elements. You control Jess Pierce, an anger-filled human/vampire from Santa Ana. Jess has two basic moves from the start: kick and punch. As you progress through the game, Jess gains more abilities, such as fireballs and melee attacks. Every level is very large and expansive, giving the player plenty of time to explore the level while looking for enemies to kill.
A big feature of Jess' Quest is Jess' anger meter. Whenever she is hit, her anger meter will fill a bit. If it fills all the way to the top, Jess will become unstoppable, and will kill any enemies that attempt to attack her in one hit. Jess' vampire side can show at times too, and she will sometimes drain her enemies' blood in order to retain stamina.
Along the way, Jess can pick up bottles of alcohol. The drinks range from tequila to beer. When Jess gets these, she will drink the alcohol and it will give her a brief boost. However, in her drunk form, Jess' accuracy will deter somewhat, with some hits missing. Jess also has a "Glory Kill" system, like Doom, where Jess can make an enemy stagger, then she will brutally murder the target.
Blaze helps the player understand the game. She does tutorials during the first level so the player can get used to using Jess. Sometimes, the player can control Blaze. Her moveset is different from Jess, in the sense that rather than using superpowers, Blaze uses her shurikens, battle axes and so on.
Blaze is faster and more athletic than Jess, which gives her an edge when escaping. Blaze also has boots with strong grip, of which can attach to buildings, allowing her to climb them with ease. Blaze's sections are very fast paced and rely on fast reaction times. It is fairly easy to get into a combo as Blaze, as opposed to Jess, who has heavier hits, so it takes more time to get back to her normal stance.
Some stages have vehicular combat, where Jess will be surrounded by enemy vehicles. Jess can clear the enemies out by using her pyrokinesis to blow up the cars, leaping into the enemy car and taking the enemy out herself, or quickly swerving so the enemy slams into dividers.
==Story==
The story takes place after season two of Tayshaun & Amy - The Other Side. It follows Jess as she journeys through the United States, defending the planet from a large alien race that is attacking the States. Blaze goes with her to make sure she is safe.
===Chapter 1: Los Angeles===
The game starts out with Jess sat on her own in her house, watching TV.
:Jess: Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit...
She flicks to a channel where an alien mothership is seen.
:Jess: Oh, fucking fuck no...
:Reporter: An alien race has invaded the United States. We're unsure of their goals and...
Jess grits her teeth as she yells out in frustration.
:Jess: FUCK THIS LITTLE FUCKING SHITTY PLANET, FUCK THIS FUCKING SHITTY FUCKING UNIVERSE, FUCKING FUCK FUCKING EVERYTHING!!!
Jess kicks the front door open, blasting it out into the middle of the street. She then storms to her car, ripping the steel door clean off as Blaze runs to her.
:Blaze: Jess, what're you doing?!
:Jess: I'm fucking saving the fucking planet, what the fucking fuck do you think I'm fucking doing?!
:Blaze: Jeez, no need to snap at me.
:Jess: I fucking snap at fucking everyone.
:Blaze: Well... I'll help you. Help save the world.
:Jess: You can fucking help, I fucking guess.
The two drive off towards Los Angeles.

:Man: Jose Garcia. Just moved here from Costa Rica and that thing suddenly attacked me.

==Multiplayer==
There is a multiplayer mode in Jess' Quest. There are two modes: Rampage, a mode where you try and kill as many aliens as you can in the time limit and a co-op mode, where you use both Jess and Blaze at the same time. In Rampage mode, you are in one area of the level and the aliens come in from many directions, but they always enter in your eyesight so there are no cheap knockouts from behind. You can play as multiple characters rather than just Jess and Blaze. Every character has a "Super Move" They can use to clear out enemies quickly.
