Геймплей
Сочетая жанр коллекционных монстров (например, Pokémon) с жанром интерактивного искусства (например, Mario Paint), Magic Pengel фокусируется на игроке, выступающем в роли персонажа, способного управлять "Пенгелем" (выглядящим как стилизованная фея с кистью), чтобы создавать существ, называемых "Дудлами". Используя Pengel (произносится "pen jell") как курсор, игрок просто набрасывает конечности, тело и другие детали. В зависимости от количества потраченной магической чернил и типов частей тела, существо получает определенные характеристики и создается. С помощью Зои и Таро персонаж тренирует и сражается, используя собственные уникальные дизайны, которыми можно обмениваться с другими игроками или сражаться с их творениями. По мере сражений Дудлы становятся сильнее и зарабатывают очки для покупки готовых Дудлов и дополнительных возможностей для настройки создания. Боевая система основана на трех действиях: атака, магия и блок, а также команде зарядки. Три основных приема следуют принципу "камень, ножницы, бумага", но повторяемость сведена к минимуму благодаря разнообразию характеристик Дудлов и невозможности последовательного повторения одного и того же действия. Magic Pengel сочетает в себе шейдинг в стиле cel-shading с обычной 3D-графикой. Большинство фонов выполнены в 3D, а Дудлы отрисованы в стиле cel-shading. Иногда анимация Дудлов может быть прерывистой из-за широких возможностей настройки в игре, но это случается нечасто.
Combining the collectible monsters genre (e. g., Pokémon) with the interactive art genre (e. g., Mario Paint), Magic Pengel is centered on the player, as a character able to manipulate a "Pengel" (which looks like a stylized fairy combined with a paintbrush) to create a creature, or "Doodle". Using the Pengel (pronounced "pen jell") as a cursor, the player simply sketches out the limbs, body, and other features. Depending on the amount of magic ink expended, and the types of body parts, the creature will be given certain statistics and created. With the help of Zoe and Taro, the character trains and battles using custom created designs, which can be traded to or battled with the creations of other players. As the Doodles battle, they become more powerful, and earn points towards the purchase of pre created Doodles, and extra abilities towards customizable creation. Combat functions according to three selections: attack, magic, and block, as well as a charge command. The three basic maneuvers follow a standard rock paper scissors methodology, but repetitiveness is minimized due to the varied attributes of the Doodles, as well as the inability to successively repeat any selection. Magic Pengel combines cel shading with standard 3D graphics. Though most of the backgrounds are 3D, the Doodles are cel shaded. Occasionally the animations of the Doodles can be jerky due to the extreme range of customization possible within the game, but this is fairly uncommon.
История
История начинается, когда вы (главный герой – этот персонаж никогда не показывается и не получает имени по умолчанию, чтобы сохранить ощущение "второго лица" в игре, однако подразумевается, что невидимый персонаж – юный мальчик) просыпаетесь во чьем-то дворе и видите Пенгеля. Таинственный голос сообщает вам, что вы можете использовать Пенгеля, чтобы нарисовать всё, что захотите, и эта форма станет вашим спутником в путешествии. Вы рисуете простую фигуру, чтобы создать своего первого Дудла, но Дудл срывается с обрыва и его спасает девочка. Затем он убегает. После поучения девушка представляется как Зои, а затем знакомит вас со своим (приёмным) братом Таро. Она приводит вас на арену, где проходит турнир, и обучает дуэлям. Вы побеждаете, а Зои возмущается тем, что стража королевства забрала часть выигранного вами Цвета в качестве налога. Выясняется, что король, правящий людьми, коррумпирован и пытается заставить людей с чистым сердцем создавать Дудлов для работы на него. Один из лучших Дудлеров короля, Галилео (отец Зои и Таро), исчез, и король пытается отомстить, отбирая у Зои и Таро их родину. Зои и Таро не знают, куда пропал Галилео, и ищут отца, бросая записки в бутылках в океан. Вам предстоит участвовать в турнирах, чтобы заработать деньги, необходимые Зои и Таро для выплаты ипотеки за их Родину, помочь им найти отца и, в конечном итоге, победить самого Короля Дудлов.
The story begins when you (the main character this character is never shown or given a default name in order to keep with the "second person" feel of the game, however, it is implied that the unseen character is a young boy) wake up in someone's yard and sees a Pengel. A mysterious voice tells you that you can use the Pengel to draw whatever you like, and that the shape will become your companion on your quest. You draw a simple shape to become your first Doodle, however, the Doodle falls off a cliff and is rescued by a girl. Then it runs away. After lecturing you, the girl introduces herself as Zoe, then introduces her (foster) brother, Taro. She takes you to the arena where a tournament is being held and teaches you how to duel. You win, and Zoe gets ticked off at the kingdom's guards for taking some of the Color you won as tax. It is revealed that the King who rules the humans is corrupt and tries to force pure hearted people to draw Doodles to work for him. One of his best Doodlers, Galileo (who is Zoe and Taro's father) disappeared and the king has been trying to seek revenge by taking away Zoe and Taro's homeland. Zoe and Taro don't know where Galileo went, and have been searching for their father by throwing notes in a bottle into the ocean. You must enter tournaments to get the money Zoey and Taro need to pay off the mortgage on their Homeland, help them search for their father, and eventually defeat the Doodle King himself.
Персонажи
Magic Pengel is known for its flexibility in character creation – players can create their own. Unlike Graffiti Kingdom, the second game in the Rakugaki Ōkoku series, there is no "main character": the storyline revolves around the player being drawn into the world of Zoe and Taro. However, there is a small cast of important characters and a large cast of secondary characters who play roles in the storyline. Pengel is a creature with the ability to draw Doodles that come to life. He can create more powerful Doodles as the storyline progresses and you win more duels. A person can only have a Pengel if they have a pure heart. Despite this, most people, even those with ill intentions, possess one, while Zoe, who once became angry with her Doodles, does not. Zoe is the player's closest friend, a stubborn girl who hates the King. According to a boy named Denka, she is his girlfriend, but she has never shown any indication of reciprocating his feelings. She used to be able to use a Pengel, but when her foster father disappeared, she blamed the Doodles and grew angry. Her Pengel vanished, and Zoe confesses she has felt guilty ever since. She refuses to believe Galileo is dead, despite others disagreeing. At the end of the story, Zoe and Taro move away. Taro is Zoe's foster brother and the son of the famous Doodler, Galileo. Taro is an innocent, sometimes whiny, young boy who looks up to Zoe but gets upset that she is always angry with him and calls him a baby. He does cry quite a lot, but he is able to use a Pengel and is a surprisingly good Duelist. On rare occasions, he will challenge you at the seaside arena. Mono is a mysterious boy who appears at Zoe and Taro's house one day. He has the ability to create Color Gems by taking the color from a natural object. It turns out that Mono is a Doodle drawn by Galileo, who taught him to speak and raised him as a son. Mono came to the island because of the bottles sent by Zoe and Taro, so he could reveal the truth about Galileo – he is, in fact, dead. Later, Mono is revealed to be the reincarnation of the Doodle King, and the player must defeat him at the end of the game. Galileo is a world-famous Doodler who ran away to avoid working for the King, leaving his son and foster daughter with nothing but their old house. He drew a Doodle named Mono to keep him company while he was away, but died while Mono was young. The cause of his death, and whether he ever intended to return for Zoe and Taro or fight the King, remains unknown. The King is the corrupt ruler of the human world, forcing skilled Duelists to draw for him. Eventually, this enrages the Doodle King to the point of stripping all color from the world. Kiba is a man who claims to have been Galileo's close friend. Zoe and Taro initially like him, but then they discover he is a double agent working for the King.
