The Wonderful 101 is an action game developed by PlatinumGames and released for the Wii U in 2013, blending hack-and-slash combat with strategic elements. The central mechanic involves commanding a group of up to 100 heroes simultaneously, directing them as a collective force against enemies rather than controlling a single protagonist. Players draw shapes to transform the assembled group into various weapons and tools, lending the combat a distinct tactical dimension alongside its fast-paced brawling. The game is framed around a story of courage and camaraderie pitted against a villainous threat, delivered in a style consistent with PlatinumGames' reputation for kinetic, heavily choreographed action. The Wii U's GamePad controls are integrated into the experience, supporting the gesture-based inputs that define the game's core systems. It stands as one of the more mechanically distinctive titles in PlatinumGames' catalog.
Earth is under attack from an invasion of enormous aliens, and the only thing that can protect the planet is a group of unlikely, yet mighty, heroes with special abilities. Unfortunately, the aliens are too powerful for the heroes to fight individually. They must join forces and work together to defeat their common enemy. These uniquely different heroes can morph into powerful weapons to crush the invaders or turn into objects like a giant fist or bridge to interact with and traverse the environments.
