In TROUBLESHOOTER: Abandoned Children, the government of Valhalla decided to allow the general public to investigate and arrest criminals.
The results can get a bit…wild. Sort of like an upgraded (like really upgraded) civilian’s arrest. Assuming the role of Albus, a 20 year old starting a new profession, you will be quick to learn about the world and this justice system.
There is a lot to do in the game as a budding crime fighter. You will have a lot more to think about than simply leveling up your characters as you decide which of over 600 masteries to seek out, all while operating like an independent detective in a dangerous world.
Starting up your new company, you’ll quickly find yourself with work since there are over 80 missions to tackle overall. As you complete these missions, you may find yourself with the ability to recruit new, and extremely interesting, characters. Bringing these extra helping hands into your arsenal will do more than just boost your tactical ability, you’ll also gain access to their unique class abilities – like hunters and their abilities to tame beasts.
For the strategy side of combat, you will be given a ton of options. Each character has a designated class (as mentioned above) and has the ability to rank up that class to obtain a stronger unique ability. This isn’t the only thing to think about, though. Characters also have the ability to attain masteries which are dictated by both level and class. As you get more masteries, you’ll be able to combine them to make some devastating characters to plow through your enemies. Which will be extremely handy for attaining the other type of masteries. If you’re really after a certain build, you may want to pay attention to the masteries you can obtain through your enemies. You may find something much more intriguing than if you had simply beefed up your characters with levels.
On top of this ridiculous amount of content to digest, you will be treated to a deep narrative of a world consumed by violence. You’ll be able to learn about – and yearn to protect – these lovable characters over the course of the story. Or maybe you’ll love them just for their combat abilities.
