Our take on PROTOTYPE
Its defining structure is an escalating arena battle: robot waves grow stronger and larger, power-ups appear during the fight, and boss enemies arrive as the final test.
What is PROTOTYPE?
PROTOTYPE casts players as 07Vanguard, an artificial intelligence fighting robot enemies in the neon world of Cyberscape.
Combat unfolds across successive waves, with opponents becoming stronger and more numerous over time. Robot types have different abilities, weaknesses, and attack patterns. Power-ups appear in the arena, including health restoration, weapon improvements, and temporary invulnerability. The game also includes an arsenal and combat techniques for handling incoming enemies. After the regular waves, large boss enemies enter the battle and create a harder encounter. The structure centers on surviving escalating attacks, collecting temporary advantages, defeating bosses, and testing how long the prototype AI can continue fighting.
How PROTOTYPE plays
