Gold Star Mountain

Gold Star Mountain is a cancelled GameCube from FromSoftware. It is also known as Gold Mountain.

Plot
The world is packed with monsters and outlaws. There are sheriffs who defend the good people from these evil things.

You would play as a young boy who strives to become a Sheriff. You will need to prove yourself by hunting animals and bounty hunting outlaws.

Gameplay
The game is similar to Pokémon, as you can catch and raise animals and use them in battle. A big difference here is that you have to build trust with the caught animals. You also build relationships with other people.

You would use your gun to fire at the enemies. Your animals would help out in the fighting. Items you acquire from battle can be used to raise your animals.

Cancellation
Gold Star Mountain was cancelled in 2003 for unknown reasons.

The game was perhaps cancelled due to the release of Lost Kingdoms around the same time. Lost Kingdoms is another FromSoftware action RPG of a similar nature. Maybe to avoid conflict, Gold Star Mountain was rescheduled but then never got released.
