About the game
Roco Ranger is a creature capturing game that lets you experience the beginning of an adventure with a low level Roco, up to strategic boss battles with rangers. Explore the route and you will run into wild Rocos to battle and catch for yourself. Train your Rocos and teach them new moves. Do you have what it takes to become a Roco Ranger? To win Roco Ranger, you must win battles against rangers and other players, to become the new champion. Before you start playing, you must choose a starter Roco. Roco Ranger consists of two distinct phases. The capture phase and the ranger phase. During the capture phase you first choose where you want to go on the map. You can go as far as you want but you can never go back. You may then choose to search for items, search for Rocos or rest. Dice randomly decide what you will find, however stronger Rocos can be found further down the route. If you search for a Roco you get to battle it. You can gain XP, to level up your own Roco or capture the wild Roco. The capture phase is all about building your team. Whoever reaches the end first gets first pick in the second phase. Rushing over the route can be a big advantage, however it might be a better strategy to take it slow and build a stronger team. In the ranger phase you will fight strategic battles with your entire team of Rocos against opponent teams. Just like wild Rocos, rangers have an automated move sequence (this allows for solo play experience). However unlike battles with wild Rocos, you will now battle two vs two and can swap and replace Rocos until a all Rocos of a team are defeated. Victory will give you the title of champion!
