The Wonderful 101: Remastered

Overview

The Wonderful 101 is an action game where 100 superheroes from 100 cities around the world collaborate to defeat the Geathjerk, alien terrorists who attempt to invade Earth. The additional member refers to the player. The Wonderful Ones are members of Centinels, a planetary secret service created by the United Nations to defend Earth against alien invasions. The game takes place in Blossom City and starts with Will Wedgewood, who was saved by his superhero father when he was a boy and was passed on the Wonder pendant for the superhero group. He became a teacher at an elementary school and hides his powers, but he is in a school bus when the aliens attack and wants to save the children and the Blossom Elementary school building. By using the pendant he turns into the superhero Wonder-Red with a powerful suit. He is soon joined by a second character called Wonder-Blue and eventually the player gets to meet 100 characters as they are recruited throughout the course of the game. There are seven main characters (Red, Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow, White, and Black) and the others have a support role. Each of the seven characters is tied to a specific symbol (weapon) and it possible to switch between them when they are part of the group. The others follow and some members only join temporarily.

The game follows a linear path in a 3D environment shown from an isometric viewpoint. The character often needs to save citizens and is able to (double) jump and attack and combine attacks into combos. The most powerful ones are performed through Unite Morphs. The superheroes then combine their energy to form a Wonder-Liner. They merge to form a large shape that does a lot of damage using short quick time events. They can for instance form a large first through Unite Hand by moving the right stick in a circle or Unite Sword by drawing a vertical line. This can also be done using the touch screen on the GamePad. Unite Chain is used to cross gaps, Unite Build constructs parts for structures, Unite Guts counters attacks, Unite Spring is used to dodge attacks, Unite Gun shoots projectiles, Unite Claw can freeze enemies, Unite Glider provides flight etc. They are often used to solve environment based puzzles as well. Regular team attacks are also possible and new attacks are introduced as additional members join the group or by acquiring additional skills. Members are tied to a specific Unite Morph and the amount of members available for a specific type of attack determines the strength and whether it can be performed at all.
