Phantom Crash

Year 2025, 21st century – when the concepts of Nation and War are deteriorating… The Japanese government, in order to cope with the massive air pollution and endless economic loss of Tokyo, transfers the capital to “Neo Tokyo”, a dome city built in the Tokyo Harbor. The former districts such as Shinjuku and Shibuya of Old Tokyo are sealed off to civilians because of possible building collapses, effectively becoming “Neglected Zones” (or Trash Areas).

A few years later, a battle-game called “Rumbling” begins in one of the Trash Areas. In Rumbling, the contenders face each other while riding highly mobile armored land vehicles called “Scoobees”, and receive fortune and rankings by destroying other vehicles. When one vehicle is destroyed, another enters the battle, renewing the battle infinitely…

Ecstatically brutal battles and never-seen-before tactics such as Optic Camouflage have made the game a mega hit, and Rumbling’s broadcast rating has sky-rocketed. It’s now the year 2031, and Rumbling is the biggest hit the entertainment business ever had. The fighters of the game want nothing but one thing ; to be the greatest and the coolest! Game Features * Strange Semi-realism Cathartic battles that take place in a real-world Shinjuku! The Stage is the 3D-reconstructed district of Tokyo, Shinjuku. The roar of a Vulcan cannon. Shattering glasses of a nearby shop window. Bullet-ridden walls. You can taste the excitement bursting out of a virtual, yet real-world based locale. * A dangerous game of hide-and-seek : A totally new form of battle made possible by Optic Camouflage! The Scoot Vehicle (a.k.a Scoobee) can adjust the reflection of surrounding lights with Optic Camouflage, cloaking itself in invisibility. The only detector that is not rendered useless is the sonar ; you will be soaked in sweat and anticipation as you engage in a hide-and-seek that literally puts your life at stake. * Customizable and Tunable Mechanics Diverse mechanic designs that can be fully customized by the player! The Scoobee’s appearance, from camouflage paintings to color imprints can be changed with the installation of new parts. You can also customize the colors of the vehicle by adjusting the texture and RGB of the basic forms. In effect, you can have a Scoobee that is unique, different from anyone else’s.
