Up next for our character features is the best soldier Mother Nature has fighting for her–Major Disaster!
Concept Art
Taking inspiration from the original Toxic Crusaders cartoon, Major Disaster’s in-game design has taken on a similar appearance with a modern spin. Take a look at Major Disaster’s amazing concept art drawn by comic artist Steve Gregson:
And here's another concept art piece drawn by our Art Director, Xander Arnot:
Weapons of the Natural Kind!
We wanted to give Major Disaster the raw power of Mother Nature! Speaking of stomping power, players will notice that whenever Major Disaster runs, the ground will shake! (Screen Shake can be disabled in the Options menu)
Along with his innate strength, Major Disaster employs a host of natural weapons at his disposal! His dash attack features a tree branch armblade, while his back attack causes vines and more branches to sprout from behind!
Finally, for his special attack, Major Disaster can summon a group of large vines from underground for massive AOE damage! While this special attack is quite powerful, it should be noted that the Major is vulnerable in the animation frames after the vines go away, so be cautious!
In-Game Design
Even when he’s idle, Major Disaster’s pose is all the more intimidating to the Smogulan forces and their allies.
In addition, when it comes to jump attacks, one of the Major’s moves is a heavy kick-down, which can stun enemies for a follow-up combo attack!
With great power comes a slower speed. While Major Disaster is strong up close, he lacks speed when walking and running. Even with his Rad Mode active, the Major Disaster’s power greatly increases, but his speed is still miles below other characters.
Despite his slow movement speed, Major Disaster is both a vital and powerful member of the Toxic Crusaders! With Mother Nature at his command, nothing will stop the Major from dishing out destruction against the forces of Smogula!
We’re excited to share more information as we continue development!
