What exactly is Xenoblade Chronicles?
A revamped edition of the classic Japanese story game, which originally debuted in 2010 on Nintendo Wii and spawned an entire, cult-classic series. The well-received Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was released for Nintendo Switch in 2017. The Definitive Edition of Xenoblade Chronicles was prepared by the original creators from Monolith studio, who will offer not only a revised visual setting, but also a refreshed soundtrack and a playable epilogue not available in the original, titled Future Connected.
What is the story about in Xenoblade Chronicles?
The game's action takes place in an unusual fantasy world inhabited by humans and mechanized beings. Each race occupies the body of one of the two gods who long ago fought a fierce battle with each other. The main character is an eighteen-year-old Sheik whose hometown has been destroyed by a hostile race in the past.
What's gameplay like in Xenoblade Chronicles?
In terms of mechanics, Xenoblade Chronicles is a fairly standard representative of a Japanese adventure game. The game consists of exploring an unusual, vast, and open world, completing story quests, and fighting opponents using an arcade combat system. The availability of different activities is influenced by the dynamic day-night system, and subsequent victories allow the development of our team members (other colorful characters join Sheik over time).
