Treasure Planet: Battle for Procyon takes place about five years after the events in the movie. The result, Treasure Planet: Battle for Procyon, is a decent entry-level real-time strategy game, but will probably prove too easy for anyone who's ever played Warcraft or Command & Conquer. The flick is due out at the end of November, and to coincide with its release, Disney Interactive chose Barking Dog Studios to create a game that captures the feel of the universe. Players can command fleets of up to ten ships that can be improved with crew experience and special weapons.ĭisney's Treasure Planet - the movie, that is - is a science-fiction twist on Robert Louis Stevenson's novel, Treasure Island.
Other features include multiple waypoint settings, star maps, panic fire, secondary ship control, docking, repairing, towing, grappling, and boarding actions.ĭisney's Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon supports several types of multiplayer maps for Internet play, each with unique objectives.
Arsenals reflect futuristic models of light, medium, and heavy weapons such as laserball and plasma cannons, beam weapons, Gatling guns, harpoons, fire and net launchers, gravity waves, torpedoes, mortars, and more. Ship designs in Battle at Procyon are fashioned after the seafaring ships from the golden age of sail, with solar winds filling the sails and rigging. The Procyon Fleet is built for speed and maneuverability, geared for fast hit-and-run attacks, and as the game progresses, news of a mysterious Ironclad Fleet surfaces as well. Ships for the Royal Navy range from torpedo boats and war sloops to escorts, frigates, and the impressive StarHammer, while pirates man sloops, gunboats, schooners, assault cutters, and more, including several unique designs like the carrack and barque. Royal Navy Fleet weapons are only slightly inferior to the reworked weapons of the Procyon Fleet but are sturdier and less vulnerable. Successfully completed missions result in ship and fleet enhancements, more experienced crews, and upgraded weapons. Skirmish and multiplayer modes allow the choice of playing as all three factions.
In the main campaign's story-driven missions, you begin play as Jim Hawkins, a cadet in the Royal Navy's fight against pirates and the deadly Procyon Fleet, with an eye toward eventual promotion to fleet commander. Unlike the Treasure Planet action adventures for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 that are loosely based on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale, Disney's Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon is a 3D RTS game focusing on space combat.
