TOON WARS: ETERNAL

Toon Wars Eternal is a crossover action game for the PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Note: this is made up). It is based around Frozarburst’s fanfiction with the same name and follows the events of the series, in which the newly founded Toon Force must fight for peace against the Syndicate and other cartoons. An earlier build of this and the fanfiction itself can also be found here.

Training Stage
The original four Nicktoons (Spongebob, Danny, Jimmy, and Timmy) first meet each other and make preparations for their first mission against the Syndicate. However, to make sure they're ready to fight, they commence a sparring match against each other in Jimmy's lab.

Nicktoons Saga
Years after the events of Globs of Doom, the Syndicate (this time without Plankton) threatens to escalate a war for all cartoons, each with the intent of killing another to continue to remain on air and maintain relevancy. Though confused as to why these cartoons from various dimensions have appeared to kill them and who they're trying to impress, Jimmy Neutron summons the help of the earlier Nicktoons: Danny Phantom, Timmy Turner, Tak, Jenny Wakeman, and Zim. Unfortunately, their worlds are also being attacked by not just these other cartoons, but the resurgence of the Toybots and the mysterious return of the Morphoids. With the fate of their worlds hanging in the balance of survival, these few remaining Nicktoons characters must join forces once again to defeat the Syndicate and end the war before it goes too far.

Gumball Saga
After the Syndicate successfully escalated the war, the Nicktoons form the mighty Toon Force and seek to rescue any cartoons that are in danger from others, even if it means visiting other dimensions. One of these worlds is that of Gumball Watterson’s, whose city’s people had been captured by the Syndicate’s Toybot army and brought to Volcano Island to serve as a sacrifice for the Mawgu once he returns from the Rip Zipper. It is now up to the Toon Force to learn to find good in modern shows from other stations and stop the Syndicate from bringing back the Mawgu and giving him ultimate power. They also learn more about how they're cartoons from Gumball and the possible reason why they're fighting one another.

Samurai Jack Saga
When four of the Nicktoons visit the world of Samurai Jack (a place that had long been saved from the wrath of the evil shapeshifter Aku) to stop Vlad and his remaining Toybots from attacking it, they chase him to the past where Aku had already sent Jack to the future and has yet to meet his end. Before Jack and Ashi could arrive in time to stop him, Aku is warned by the Syndicate for their return and purges the Earth of all life. The Nicktoons, now accompanied by a past version of Jack and Ashi are flung into the future, where not only Jack’s world, but everyone’s worlds across both dimensions are now ruled by Aku and the Syndicate, who plan to construct the Time Drive; a device capable of ripping holes through space and time itself. While the heroes in the alternate timeline must return to the past to stop Aku once again, the Toon Force in the main timeline must save the world of the Teen Titans from imminent danger. However, these are not the heroes they were most expecting.

Final Days Saga
5 years after the fall of the Syndicate, the Toon Force ultimately decide it's time to part ways and return to their respective home worlds. However, a powerful new being dubbed “The Toon God” arrives to absorb everyone’s worlds and transform all dimensions into one of its own. Divided, the Toon Force must find and destroy the source of the mysterious Toon God and discover the truth behind the Toon Wars and every cartoon’s true motivation to fight one another.

Nicktoons Adventures (DLC)
Some point before the Samurai Jack saga, Jimmy and Danny tell Gumball the tale of their previous crossovers, including some that were never documented until now. Remeniscing on a time just before the Toon Wars, Jimmy tells three different stories of the original four Nicktoons that defined their friendship and teamwork. One where Dan Phantom returned from outside of time to take over the Ghost Zone, another where the Irken Massive is attacked by the Resistie, and the third where the Nicktoons race for the world cup in Retroville.

Gameplay
This game follows a combination of both Capcom's Mega Man X series, background and character elements from Nicktoons: Unite (DS); Attack of the Toybots (DS); and Globs of Doom (DS), and similar fighting mechanics to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 1 and 2, and Transformers Devastation. Before starting the game, you have the option to choose between difficulty settings and a training mode.

Difficulty Settings: The game plays like a 2d side scroller with 3d background elements and a 2d HUD and character sprites. The HUD contains two health bars and two power gauges (one for the character your playing, and one for the secondary character). Depending on the level, you can switch between characters with their own bars at any time. When engaging bosses or mid-bosses, the health bar will appear at the bottom of the screen, sometimes with multiple colors to indicate a different phase of the fights. However, in the Final Days saga, another icon will appear at the bottom left of the screen to indicate a corruption phase (much like Mega Man X5). When the phase is shown, it means the player is in contact with the Toon God's energy field, corrupting them. Should you fail to escape before the indicator reaches maximum corruption, you will either switch to another character to rescue the current one, or get an instant game over. If the player's health also goes down, the same effect will commence. When using the power gauge, this indicates how much energy for special attacks the player can use, such as Danny's intangibility or Jimmy's shrink ray. When the power gauge is full, an option to use a Super Ability will be unlocked, and the player can use it to better increase their strength, or eliminate all enemies in the area. Additionally, if both players have full power bars, they can combine their Super Abilities to form an Ultimate Attack.
 * Really Easy Way: In this mode, every enemy can be defeated in less than 5 hits. However, you don't get to fight mid-bosses or actual bosses, nor can you progress past the Nicktoons saga and upgrade any character in the game.
 * Easy Way: This mode is mainly for beginners starting the game for the first time. Here, the enemies in the game give less damage then they would on normal difficulty, and boss fights are given a smaller health bar. However, in this mode, you will not be able to unlock special upgrades or characters in the game, nor will you be able to play the levels of the Final Days saga.
 * Sorta hard with a touch of awkward-easy-difficulty-challenging way: This is the medium difficulty, with every enemy dealing their default amount of damage as well as bosses having their normal health bars. You are able to unlock special upgrades and progress to the Final Days Saga to unlock the final chapters of the game. This mode will also allow you to play as certain characters unlocked throughout the game.
 * Hard Way: In this difficulty, the game will increase the amount of damage enemies and bosses give onto the player. More obstacles will be placed around certain areas within levels, and new attacks will be used against you.

This game features both melee and ranged characters (some having attacks that use both methods), meaning those like Spongebob or Jimmy can use their weapons to attack enemies from a distance, while those like El Tigre and Jack are melee users and Danny or Nicole use both. Making combos are also an added feature to the game, as well as breaking combos, blocking, or dodging. Occasionally, there maybe switches needed to exit a certain part of a level (usually once or twice). However, once these switches are activated, should the character backtrack, they will remain this way even after the game is completed other than the last arc. Aside from mid-bosses, some boss fights require two phases of the fight to be completed, with the exception of the true final boss of the game with four phases. Like Transformers Devastation, some boss fights have more than one enemy, each with their own health bars.

Upgrade stations (either Goddard access akin to Nicktoons Unite or an upgrade kiosk) in between levels or the main hub (Jimmy's lab) can be accessed to purchase using EXP earned from fighting enemies in the game. The stroller get they are, the more experience you'll gain. Note: You will be unable to access the main hub area during Final Days saga, as it is eventually destroyed by that point.

You can switch between equipped items at any time during gameplay using the artillery menu (pressing the touch pad on your PS4 controller or pressing the numpad on your PC like in Half Life for example). Some items are unavailable for certain levels, however, and some are earned by completing these stages, like Momo getting Jack's sword.
