Purpose Calling is a 2.5D sidescrolling action platformer that brings a classic gaming feel to modern audiences, without the interruption of ads. Players embark on non-violent missions using technology-enhanced suits to put out fires, repair damaged structures, and heal the sick, all while managing the complex interactions of these tasks. Fires can breakout from what's just been fixed, and healed individuals can fall ill again if mishaps occur. With 17 single-player levels and 8 cooperative LAN multiplayer levels, players choose from one of three unique characters, each with their own backstory and motivations, to complete increasingly complex challenges.
Storyline
Set in a near-futuristic world, the heroes of Purpose Calling use advanced technology to enhance their suits, forming a formidable team poised to tackle global challenges. These characters combine their unique abilities and tech-enhanced gear to not just face disasters but to prevent them, striving to save the world one level at a time.
Key Features:
Engaging Gameplay: Navigate through levels by extinguishing fires, making repairs, and healing the sick. Watch out for dynamic interactions where fixing one problem might cause another.
Energy and Health Management: Collect gems to replenish energy and hearts to restore health, ensuring you can continue your tasks.
Character Choices: Play as one of three characters, each with distinct narratives and place within the team.
Multiplayer Fun: Enjoy 8 LAN multiplayer levels designed for cooperative play, use another computer with the client on the same network to tackle challenges designed for teamwork.
