The battle system goes back to the roots of the genre with its no-nonsense turn based combat, but there are several refreshing twists to the formula. Instead of separate characters, your party is made up of pairs where each pair is composed of a warrior and a protector. Choosing your warrior and protector combinations is key to finding the right tactics. Special pair actions and character stats change according to the pairings and will greatly affect the way you play in combat. As players get hold of more consumable types, the ability to chain elemental effects will encourage the player to have a good variety of ammo at their disposal. |
