You only control one character at a time but you can switch between party members whenever you want, while also instructing your other allies to adopt different strategies.


Countering attacks is also crucial, as is a system in which a pool of mana-style magic points is shared between the whole party. The trick is to chain them into combos, which trigger ever-more-spectacular specials as your meters build up, notably Strikes in which all party members combine to deliver magic attacks that finish off pretty much any enemy other than bosses. The story’s all nonsense, of course, but the main characters are interesting enough to develop complex relationships and the plot’s twists and turns are all satisfyingly epic.Īs is the case for most Tales games, battles are fully action-oriented and take place in real-time, with a mixture of physical and magic-assisted special attacks. It turns out that the Renans are harvesting astral energy but luckily Iron Mask, Shionne, and various other members of your party (which fluctuates between two and four members) can also harness the same power.

In a whirlwind intro, Iron Mask escapes from the mine in which he is forced to work, along with a mysterious and powerful Renan girl called Shionne, and hooks up with the local resistance and, armed with a magical flaming sword, sets out to liberate his homeland. Iron Mask is a slave, subjugated, along with the rest of the Dahnan people, by the Renan race who originated on a nearby planet. Naturally, as the game progresses, his real identity and backstory begin to emerge. The game’s main player character starts off in a very cipher-like fashion: known as Iron Mask, thanks to the object which mysteriously covers his face, he has no memory of his previous life and is strangely impervious to pain. It purposefully eschews some of the more out-there elements that you often find in Japanese role-players, such as super complex, turn-based battle systems flipping between alternate universes or manifestations of modern Japanese social obsessions.
