Ruff Trigger: The Vanocore Conspiracy is a 2006 action-platform video game developed by Playstos Entertainment and published by Natsume in North America and by ZOO Digital Publishing in Europe for the PlayStation 2. The game was released in North America on June 28, 2006 and in Europe on August 25, 2006.

Gameplay

The player takes on the role of Ruff Trigger, a bounty hunter sent to rescue tiny creatures known as "piglots". A shipment of them has crashed on a foreign planet, sending them all over the place. The player can use different weapons to destroy numerous mechanical enemies that face Ruff on the planet as he rescues the piglots. Other gameplay mechanics include driving sequences, explosive piglots, and a werewolf form that Ruff transforms into when he drinks a substance known as 'Vanocore Power Drink'.

Plot

Reception

Ruff Trigger received mixed reviews from critics. Despite the game's often-praised budget price, it was often criticised by game reviewers for its derivative gameplay, taking elements from such games as Pikmin, Jak and Daxter, and (most notably) the Ratchet & Clank series.
