The Care Bears have always been a decently popular children's property, but they've never had a proper console game (just a GameBoy Advance title). That will change on October 24 when Forever Entertainment releases Care Bears: To The Rescue on Switch and Steam. This one is based on the Care Bears: Unlock the Magic show that's apparently streamable on Max, and it will support 4-player local co-op, baby. That's enough players for a real Care Bear Stare, I reckon.
The new game will feature seven playable characters, including Funshine Bear, Share Bear, Cheer Bear, Good Luck Bear, and Grumpy Bear.
It will also feature:
Diverse Worlds: Explore different themed worlds, each with its own set of obstacles, enemies, and unique visual identity. From the icy landscapes to the beach’s calming waves. Unique Belly Badge Powers: Use each Care Bear’s special abilities to overcome obstacles, unlock secret pathways, and heal enemies. Create rainbow bridges, activate old machinery or lighten up dark paths! Engaging Multiplayer Mode: Play with friends and family in local multiplayer mode. Work together to combine belly badge powers for greater effects and bring teammates back into the action with cooperative gameplay mechanics. Collectibles and Replayability: Gather caring energy and collectible stickers throughout levels. Collectible stickers feature details of characters, locations and items from Care Bear’s rich lore. Challenging Mini-Games: After completing each world, face a unique mini-game that ties into the story! Accessible Gameplay: For younger or less seasoned players, an "Easy Mode" is available, allowing them to enjoy the game without worrying about losing health points.While the graphics are nothing fancy, the 4-player local co-op and low price point make this one a game that should be on any Care Bears fan's radar.
Care Bears: To The Rescue will cost $14.99. It's coming to Switch, Steam, and GOG on Thursday, October 24. Xbox and PlayStation versions should arrive sometime after that.
