Those of you who are fan of the Megaman Battle Network series might have seen this character. He made his Debut [Megaman] appearance in Megaman Battle Network 4, where you assist in purifying an un-dead netnavi. What many fans of the Megaman series don't know, is that Django (pictured above) has his own game series, and that the creators of Megaman and Django are good friends, and have done a few Cross-Overs over the years.
The Boktai series, is a relatively unknown series, largely due to the first three games having a Solar Sensor needed to play the game. Boktai, is about a Vampire Hunter named Django, in his hands he wields the Legendary Weapon Gun Del Sol, a Weapon that uses condensed sunlight to destroy the undead. Armed with the Gun Del Sol and his father's cherished Red Scarf, he seeks to avenge his father against the Undeadening force that is spreading across the planet.
In the Boktai series, sunlight plays a massive part in the gameplay. Without the Sun, you literally can't play (This is why if some of you have ever looked at the options of a No$GBA, there is a sunlight control feature). By allowing the Sunlight to hit the solar sensor on your Game Cartridge, many of the games features are usable. For starters, you can charge your Gun Del Sol; which has limited battery power, and you are able to view skylights (often needed to recharge your gun inside of dungeons) It also powers the incredible Pile Driver, the only weapon capable of defeating Immortals.
I personally love these games, they are incredible. Step 1, infiltrate a dungeon, and kill the boss. Step 2, lug the boss out of the dungeon, step 3, Purify it's very Dark Matter, which will get rid of it completely. The puzzles in this game will occasionally make you rip your hair out, and the second and third games (which are much better, the first is somewhat arcade style, with minimal influence on plot; while the latter are all focused on an Rpg style.) a great game series all-in-all. Unfortunately the third never made it to the states (despite it being my favorite) but the 4th one, which most consider the worst, did.
TAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIYYYYOOOOOUUU!!!!
So, has anyone else here even heard of this game? (let alone play it.)
