5. Great Concept For Storytelling

The main selling point of the game is the eight unique main characters you play as. Each have their own starter areas, quests, motivations and combat skills. Playing as one, you’ll still be able to recruit all of them into your party for story banter dialogues and combat roles too. What makes this unique? Firstly, each of the protagonist’s stories are pretty well fleshed out.

4. Combat That’s No Pushover

JRPGs are always good in some sense with combat systems. More often than not, they make you strategize and think ahead. Octopath Traveler is no different, but it adds more depth to combat thanks to the characters. Some heroes like Primrose Azelhart, is able to charm NPCs into followers who will fight for you in combat when summoned. Others like H’aanit can use her pet’s ability – and a powerful one too – in combat for SP. All in all, the combat feels great for a top-down RPG game. Bosses that you fight can be unforgiving if you’re not prepared with potions or the right composition, and that’s why failing is a good thing – you learn and come back with a game plan.

3. Engaging World

The fantasy world that Octopath Traveler is set in is incredibly well developed. You and your party will journey on foot to multiple regions, and while there’s a linear feeling about that, it’s not so bad. The world is littered with side quests that offers experience points, loot and more story. Dialogues here are of the corny JRPG variety, but they work for the game. There’s also dungeons to explore and the roads are dangerous, leading to random battles out in the wild.

2. Charming Graphics and World

There’s a great sense of nostalgia and modern awe that comes with playing Octopath Traveler. It reminds me a lot of the old 8 and 16-bit NES games that are charming on the eye. The game uses some of that pixelation for environments but a large portion of it has a 3D effect, while others are 2D. That blend together with the coloration just works so well on the Nintendo Switch especially with its small screen. In TV mode, things get a little downgraded, but it’s nothing to moan about really.

1. Replay Value Is High

Completing the main story on one character took us about 50 or so hours. That’s not including full world exploration – all dungeons, caves and other areas. Considering I have 7 more characters to play as, that’s astounding replayability offered here. In addition, you’re never quite done with your first save. There’s just so much more to see and do, like get better and more jobs that are locked behind end-game style boss fights, and so much more. All in all, this has been one of the best engaging RPG games we’ve played since Zelda.

Set in the world of Ethia, players awake as a legendary hero, washed ashore on Vokka Island with no memories. Players must revive their hero and find ways to remember the forgotten past. By learning how to survive – cultivating the land, breeding and catching fish, befriending inhabitants, expanding the village, crafting weaponry and training for combat, among all the available activities – players will increase the chances of taming and raising the Magnus, magical creatures that populate this wondrous world. With a Magnus on his/her side, the adventurer will be able to venture across the land, facing threatening challenges, finding even more powerful Magnus and eventually regain lost memories.

The Steam Early Access program will allow players to experience the game during its last phase of development, offering the player community an opportunity to help the development team define the final game content. The world of Ethia will expand during the Early Access program with additional biomes made available to players leading toward the official v1.0 game launch.

You are the Queen of the Underworld, Persephone, and your entire kingdom, the Underworld, has been taken over by the goddess Demeter after she stole your Supreme Title. Without the title, you are powerless, and Stealth dictates whether you live or fall. When exploring, the on-field enemy encounters won’t just dash at you when they spot you: they will pray for help, summoning the Hunt: enemies will swarm, their power increasing based on how much time is left on the alert, and nearby reinforcements will jump into your fights.

Detected or not, you’ll be battling in turn-based battles, and for both allies and foes, one of each is designated as the Leader: eliminating them is the key to victory! However, Leaders activate their “Title”, empowering their allies or oppressing their foes. Lastly, the Leader status can also be passed around from ally to ally with the titular technique “Hegemone Pass”, activating a new ally’s “Title”. When hunted, enemy titles are boosted based on the remaining time, making any encounter a potentially deadly one. To survive such encounters, eliminating the enemy Leader is your top priority.

A demo, containing a “pilot” styled story and showcasing a sample of the game’s mechanics, is available for download. The funds raised on Kickstarter will be used to work full-time  on the game’s development, and pay for music that will be composed by Paradoxigent. The finished game is planned for a June 2020 release.
