Wiiero is a Liero clone specially developed for the Wii. Destructible terrain plays a major role in the gameplay. Wiiero is a two player game (the single player mode will be developed later).

Wiiero plays exactly the same way as Liero; it has the same game modes (Deathmatch, CTF, and Tag) and most of the same weapons. It also contains some new (optional) weapons.

Installation

1. If you are using the Homebrew Channel Wii, just copy the Wiiero directory from the archive into the apps directory on the root of your SD card. If you are using another loader, you only need "boot.dol" along with the sprites directory. Consult the documentation for your loader of choice for the appropriate location to place these files.
2. Launch the game using your loader.

You can also install Wiiero via the Homebrew Browser Wii.

How to play

Note: You must connect two wiimotes to your wii, otherwise you will be unable to play.

Select "Play Wiiero" from the main menu by using the select/enter button (see controls section for more info) and you will be presented with a weapon selection screen. You can choose each weapon individually using the D-Pad or simply randomize them all by holding down the back/return button (again, see controls section). When both players have finished by pressing their select/enter button again, they will spawn in the arena. You will then be able to shoot, jump, dig, change your weapon, and use your ninja rope!

Controls

At the moment there are four different methods of control; you can use the Wiimote + Nunchuk, the Gamecube or the classic controller and the Wiimote by itself (held horizontally).

Game modes

Wiiero has 3 different types of gameplay, each with different objectives for winning. These modes are controlled from the "option" menu.

Deathmatch

This is the default mode. The goal of the "deathmatch" mode is simply killing your opponent more times than they kill you. Each player has a limited number of lives and whoever runs out of them first is declared the loser of the match. You can define the number of lives for both players in the "option" menu.

Tag

The goal of the tag mode is to make your enemy "it" by killing them. When a player is "it", his time counter begins to decrease. When a player's time counter reaches zero, they have lost. However, if the "it" player manages to kill their enemy before the time reaches zero, the other player becomes "it". Therefore, if you are not "it" then you will probably want to run away! The counter time limit can be modified in the "option" menu.

CTF

In the "capture the flag" mode, you will need to get your opponents flag from somewhere on the map (random) and take it back to your home, giving you 1 point. However, to pick up your opponents flag, he must not be in possession of your own flag. Otherwise you will need to kill him! The first player accumulating the defined number of flag captures wins. You can modify the capture limit in the "option" menu.

Weapons

Each player has 5 weapons which he can choose at the beginning of the game (or let the random choice do it for him for more challenge!). Wiiero has 37 weapons which were available in the original Liero game, and 21 new weapons that you can toggle on or off from the options menu. When using a weapon, the ammo gauge decreases depending on the amount of shots for that weapon. Once the ammo is at 0, a reload time is necessary before using your weapon again. The reload time can be modified in the "option" menu. If you change weapons during a reload, the reload timer is paused until you switch back to that weapon. See the Weapons Guide for more detailed information on each weapon.
