This definitely took some getting used to, but makes the combat a little less hectic as you can slow down and plan your next actions. Instead of switching characters on the fly like you do say in Genshin Impact, you can enter the main menu and choose the character to make active. You have all character Boost abilities on a wheel at all times, but you will need to wait to charge them before you can initiate them. Once Shionne joins your party, you can use her Boost ability which means you can also combo her attacks with Alphen’s. While it’s not exactly the same, as in Scarlet Nexus you could switch between character’s abilities by borrowing them, Tales of Arise focuses on party switching mechanics, as well as Boost Attacks and Mystic Artes abilities. If you’ve played Scarlet Nexus you may find some similarities here in the type of action combat.
You will also meet a host of characters, some will become a part of your party which you can control, customise in both skills and costumes. As you get further into the Arise, you discover new areas with different climates, cultures and this is something the game does well. While Arise does have explorable areas the world is much more linear.
Expect a lot of story here, as the game is very narrative-driven especially when it comes to unlocking new areas and even unlocking further skill wheels. One of Alphen’s unique abilities is that he can’t feel pain, which turns out to be very handy when meeting Shionne but I won’t go into too much of the story to avoid spoilers. Alphen meets Shinonne, a mysterious person who has extraordinary power, but it’s also a curse.ĭuring his time there, he comes across a prisoner Shionne who possesses a terrible power, which is both a blessing and a curse. From the get-go, he often finds himself in situations trying to protect others, but as you can imagine can cause some problems. He also has the awkward experience of not being able to remove his iron helmet, which he shares isn’t great for a number of reasons including eating. He’s lost his memory and is one of the slaves that is working under Rena. Rena has an advanced civilisation built with technology and magic, while Dahna has a more medieval society and are taken as slaves by the people of Rena, so expect a bit of a dark story here.Īt the beginning, you take up the role of “the man in the iron mask” known as Alphen. The game’s plot follows two characters from opposing worlds, Dahna and Rena.
