A few days ago, the quite colorful action RPG Granblue Fantasy: Relink was released. It's an adaptation of a fighting game released for mobile devices in 2014, which may be of interest to fans of Final Fantasy XVI (in terms of gameplay) and Genshin Impact (in terms of graphics).

  2. The standard version costs $59.99. The price of the special edition, which includes an additional weapon, items, points, and skins for characters, is $79.99. For $99.99, you can purchase the Deluxe Edition, which offers even more digital content, including the soundtrack.

What's the game about?

The action of Granblue Fantasy: Relink takes place in the fantastic world of Sky Realm, characterized by flying islands. The main character is the captain of an airborne crew whose goal is to reach the legendary Estalucia.
