Gameplay

While exploring them, we get to know their inhabitants and carry out various quests. Apart from the main missions, there are various side tasks also waiting to be completed.

We are often faced with opponents, with whom we fight in separate arenas. Dynamic skirmishes are based on a system called Style Shift Linear Motion Battle System, and our team of up to four people can participate in them. The key to success during the fights is merging attacks into spectacular and deadly combinations.

As we progress, we develop our characters, gaining so-called Titles. We unlock new skills and improve their attributes. Titles are awarded to us in exchange for progress made in the plot, as well as for completing optional objectives presented to us during battles.

Additionally, the remaster was expanded with many DLCs, which over time enriched the original version of the game.
