Following the same paths of the previous official games, there is a completely different cast of characters.
Mother 4 is set in a vintage North America. There is not much information regarding the game yet.
Gameplay
editMother 4 is very similar to Mother 3, having an almost exact battle system as Mother 3 with a different HUD scheme. The player controls a main character from an overhead perspective and moves around to explore, examine and travel through environments. In dangerous areas, enemies will roam and try to chase the player. If the player comes into contact with an enemy, they will enter battle. Up to three other characters will follow the player. If one of them are touched from behind, the battle will begin with the player at a disadvantage; this also works in the favor of the players, who can enter a battle with an advantage if the leader touches an enemy from behind. There is no information if dashing will be implemented, like in Mother 3.
