Spectrobes: Origins is a futuristic themed 3D action role playing game. After their defeat, the dark Krawl are regrouping under the leadership of the evil Krux and are threatening the whole of the Nanairo galaxy, destroying planets and civilizations in their advance. Fearing for the Krawl to exploit Nanairos’ portal system, Commander Grant orders the defense of these gateways.
In the game the player takes control of Rallen or Jeena and their Spectrobes (creatures of light that can counter the Krawl) who are sent off to defend some backwater portal. Gameplay includes real-time battles alongside battle Spectrobes, talking to NPCs, gathering minerals and excavating fossils to gain additional Spectrobes. Seven different planets can be visited and the game can be played solo or in co-op.
