Dark Void Zero is a 2D arcade platform produced by Other Ocean Interactive studio. In of storytelling, the game is a prequel to the events presented in Dark Void. The player directs the actions of the heroine, who is sucked into another dimension and takes part in the fight against the dangerous race of Watchers.
As the ‘80s were drawing to a close, the developers at Capcom began work on a top secret project that aimed to set new standards for the platformer genre. That game was called “Dark Rift”, and it blended the intense shooting action of Section Z™ with the latest innovations in platform jumping from Mega Man. In order to properly fulfill the producer’s vision for Dark Rift (later renamed Dark Void), the hardware engineering
team at Capcom was enlisted to design and produce an all-new chipset that would be included in every cartridge, enabling huge numbers of sprites and never-before-seen special effects to be displayed on the aging NES® platform and the PlayChoice-10 NES arcade cabinet.
Alas, time waits for no man and game developers are no exception. The dawn of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System® made the additional hardware requirements for Dark Void redundant. Capcom suspended development on Dark Void as it began to evaluate the SNES. Before long, the game was shelved and drifted into the annals of gaming history. Even the internal tape-based archives were lost due to an unfortunate magnet incident which even today is best left un-discussed. Dark Void became a legendary “lost project” at Capcom…until now.
To commemorate the latest version of Dark Void's humble origins, Capcom turned to Other Ocean to recreate the original 8-bit classic, now re-titled “Dark Void Zero,” on the DSi platform. The game was painstakingly re-constructed from rescued data, remaining design documents, and exhaustive interviews with the surviving Dark Rift team .
You play Rusty, the first human born in the Void, who must take on the Watchers in a quest to stop their domination of Earth. With the aid of Nikola Tesla, and his state-of-the-art rocket pack, Rusty must take down the Watchers and their minions across three intense levels of action and intrigue.
