Gameplay

Some battles will have graphical elements specific to the battle taking place:

 

• One element is an interval list, usually displayed on the right-hand side of the screen, which gives an overview of the length and power requirements of the current battle.

 

• Many battles also have distance elements which display either a target distance, a minimum safety distance between you and the beast, or a point of death. Be mindful of these elements during battle.    

 

Some additional concepts useful to know before playing the game are described below:

 

• Beast Surge: A battle interval where the beast will get more aggressive. The beast's power may fluctuate outside of the Target Power. Be vigilant of your safety distance.

 

• Death Interval: A special interval where the beast will continue to get closer to you regardless of your power. These intervals usually have a high power target and minimum hold time (e.g. hold 2x FTP for 5 seconds to escape). If your power falls below the target the timer will reset. Sometimes these are the final intervals that need to be completed in order to escape or deliver the final blow to end the battle.

 

• Player Death: When your health gauge gets to 0, you will die. Mission progress will stop and the current interval will pause. If available, you will have the option of using a CONTINUE which will recommence the current battle interval, alternatively, you can restart the level entirely. Please note that not all battles will deplete your health, and it is possible to die in other ways in the game.

 

That’s all for now! With this knowledge, you should now be able to make a start in the game and enjoy the basics of the combat system. The battles in WATTGAMES are varied and can contain different elements so keep your wits about you and ride for your life!
