Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is a crossover with the Transformers film franchise and the Cybertron video game series, the latter consisting of Transformers: War for Cybertron and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. The Escalation mode is absent in the Wii U and 3DS versions of the game. Experience points collected by players are shared between the single-player and multiplayer modes. The mode features over forty playable characters, and has levels based on both Cybertron and Earth. It is an online multiplayer mode where four players fend off waves of increasingly tough enemies, returned with the addition of upgradable defenses. Transformers: Rise of The Dark Spark has an extra mode called "Escalation". The player can choose from seven different attacks, each with their own recharge time after each use. If successful, the enemy is removed from the overworld map. The player is given three rounds to deplete their opponent's health. The 3DS version of the game is a strategy game role-playing video game. The Autobot Grimlock, who transforms into a dinosaur, is controlled differently from other characters: he carries only melee weapons (though he can shoot fire out of his mouth when in dinosaur form), and is much larger that other characters, in addition to having more health points. For example, Soundwave can summon his minions, Optimus Prime has a shield to block incoming fire, Sharpshot can turn invisible for a few seconds, and the Combaticons have the ability to combine into the massive Decepticon Bruticus. Every character has their own unique ability. Upgrades for weapons can be purchased through Teletran 1 kiosks found throughout the game. The game features various challenges which reward the players with weapon upgrades, characters for the multiplayer component, and other bonuses. The player character has both a regenerating shield and health, the latter of which can be replenished by a health pack.

Spark in the dark game release date windows#
The console and Microsoft Windows versions of Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark are a third-person shooter, much like its predecessors: Transformers: War for Cybertron, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Rise of the Dark Spark received mixed-to-negative reviews. It was published by Activision and released worldwide on June 23, 2014, for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. The game was developed primarily by Edge of Reality, with the Nintendo 3DS version developed by WayForward Technologies. The other portion, set between the first two Cybertron games, depicts the Decepticons' attempts to use the Dark Spark to win the war against the Autobots, and the latter's efforts to stop them. One portion of the game takes place in the timeline divergent from the one where the films take place, serving as an alternative to the events of Age of Extinction, and follows the Autobots as they try to retrieve a Cybertronian artifact called the Dark Spark from the mercenary Lockdown. It is the third and final entry in the Cybertron series, following War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron, and acts as a spin-off and crossover with the live-action Transformers films. Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is an video game based on the Transformers franchise, developed by Edge of Reality and WayForward, and published by Activision.
