Ground Divers! brought a nice dose of energy to IGN’s Summer of Gaming thanks to its theme interpreted by the legendary Hironobu Kageyama to whom we owe, for example, the Cha-La Head-Cha-La of Dragon Ball Z and who is currently part of the JAM Project group.
Ground Divers! highlights its theme (and rightly so)
And Kageyama is not the only big name of the project since we also find Shigeto Koyama in the design of the mechas. He has notably worked on the films evangelionsome No More Heroes, Promare, DARLING in the FRANXX and he is even the designer of Baymax in The New Heroes.
The character design was entrusted to the mangaka Kakeru Kakemaruauthor of Shounen Racket. This is the first project of the Studio Tsuhurashi which incidentally gives its name to the game’s protagonist Dig DugTsuhurashi so.
The little robot will have to dig to get enough to improve itself but also its base, all in the hope of one day discovering the secret of the Rare Material. This is Arc System Works who edits this game which will be released on June 30 on the Switch eShop.
