Fantendo - Factions

Fantendo - Factions is an open world tactical role-playing war video game created and developed by Illusion Works to be released on the Pacifico and The V² sometime during summer 2016. The game features an extensive roster of characters from Fantendo in a seemly never-ending intergalactic war between Light, led by Unten, and Dark, led by Liameno and Parvati. In order to stop their reign of terror, Unten must assemble the strongest combination of heroes from all corners of the Fantendoverse spectrum that he possibly can, in order to restore the peace once more.

## Plot: Light of Justice / Shadows of Darkness

In the seemingly distant future, an intergalactic war has commenced between two different forces, Unten, representing the Light, and Liameno and Parvati, representing the Dark. After realising the intensity of Liameno and Parvati's plans and power, Unten must pull together all of the forces from across the Fantendoverse under his Faction in order to finally bring an end to Parvati and Liameno's reign of terror.

The story of the game is presented like a visual novel with open world elements. You travel through different maps and attack enemies and bosses respectively. The game has two different stories, Light of Justice and Shadows of Darkness, which both follow the opposing stories in this intergalactic war.

Liameno and Parvati continue to grow their army of darkness, as Unten quickly begins to assemble members for his army. Unten quickly got into contact with Rachel, and the pair scouted around to find whoever they could to join the Light.

## Gameplay

### Extras

 **Data Cards** | Data Cards are rare items which unlock new characters for you to play as. You purchase them with Crystals, which you can collect as loot from levels you complete (which can be small or big depending on your star rating of completion).
 **Currencies** | Credits are points which help you upgrade your character and unlock new abilities for that character. Credits are needed for when your character has enough experience to level up, but you need to pay a certain amount of credits before you can do so.
Crystals are the currency you need to purchase Data Card packs from the Shop. You obtain Crystals in small amounts, usually through completing Pro levels, which make them the rarest currency in the game.
 **Levels** | Your player has levels as well as the characters. Your player is levelled up through gaining overall experience in battles, and upon levelling up you receive new items and rewards which will help you throughout the game. Your player can reach up to level 50, and depending on your level you will be able to access different features. For example, from Level 35 onwards you unlock the Pro levels, which are new levels with increased difficulty but with higher loot up for grabs.
Characters increase levels by their performance in battle. If the character defeats an enemy they receive a boosted amount of experience compared to a character that just deals damage to an enemy. You can also use Experience Machines which you collect as rewards from battles to boost the experience of your character. Just like the player, your characters can reach up to level 50.

Upon levelling up, they can unlock new attacks and powers to use in battle. They also increase their statistics which will allow them to be faster in combat, or deal higher points of damage for example. Every character is unique as to their growth.
 **Achievements** | Achievements are extra conditions that when met can unlock new prizes for the player. Achievements can often give you more Credits or Character Shards to unlock or upgrade new/existing characters. They also give you Player Experience, which can level up your player to unlock new Game Modes.

## Trailers

### E3 2016 Trailer #1

In a barren wasteland, Parvati and Liameno are standing over what looks to be like a feared Unten.
Parvati: Where's your warriors of light now? All abandoned you at the time where you need them most? My most sincere apologies, Unten, but it looks like all the luck you've had has finally run out, and at the worst possible time...What a shame.
Liameno: Creatures like you will never come to terms with darkness taking over, who knows, the alternate reality that we stand for may provide a better outcome than light can ever achieve.
Unten: And you'll never understand that light could also provide a better outcome than dark. But what do I know, huh?
Parvati: You don't know enough, that's why we have to fight against you in this silly fray, but enough talking. It's finally time to end this, once and for all, all or nothing, the final nail in the coffin.
Liameno: You get really poetic when you're thrilled about killing don't you?
Parvati: It's one of my main charms!
The pair then advance on Unten, and surround him, before the screen turns black and a scream is heard in the background.
