This is an action RPG originally on PS4 in Japan in 2019, belonging to one of the oldest Japanese series of this type. The game boils down mainly to fighting with the help of a skillful system of skirmishes. The game takes place in a magical fantasy land, and once again we play as the warrior named Adol, the protagonist of all previous installments of the series. At the beginning of the story, he is already a very experienced character, whose fame has reached all corners of the world. It takes place in and around Baldeux. This place is a prison metropolis, where the most dangerous criminals from all over the world are sent. Some of its inhabitants, known as Monsters, have superhuman abilities. The battle system is dynamic and requires high dexterity, offering a wide variety of attacks, maneuvers, and special skills. Adol is accompanied by a rich gallery of characters. At any given moment we can directly control only one member of the team, but the game enables us to freely switch between the characters. What is new is the fact that among the members of the party there are people belonging to the aforementioned Monster group. Each of them has a unique set of supernormal abilities, enabling them to, for example, run on walls or turn into a shadow. In addition, the city of Baldeux is very vertically developed and the game makes great use of it, enabling us to climb the roofs of buildings. In addition to the arsenal of actions available to the characters, there is also magic levitation, used not only for transport but also to launch attacks from the air. Feared Protectors: Play as any of the six notorious Monstrum, each with their own unique Gifts that grant abilities such as scaling sheer walls or detecting hidden objects to protect the city from shadowy creatures. The World Within the Walls: Explore the massive city, accept quests to aid the townsfolk, and enter the Grimwald Nox to vanquish the threats to Balduq. Strength of the Night: Familiar mechanics such as Flash Dodge and Flash Guard allow you to outmaneuver your foes, while new additions such as Gifts and Boost Mode further augment your ability to fight. Story - "What is real is defined by what is not. Who one is defined by who one isn't." To move forward, one must accept these truths. "Yes, in this prison - this cradle - my dreams and reality became one." Renowned adventurer Adol “the Red” Christin and his companion Dogi arrive at Balduq, a city annexed by the Romun Empire, only for Adol to be detained before setting foot inside. While imprisoned, he meets a mysterious woman named Aprilis who turns him into a Monstrum, a being with supernatural Gifts and the power to exorcise monsters. Now, Adol must ally with his fellow Monstrum to fend off the fearsome threats emerging from a shadowy dimension called the Grimwald Nox, as well as unravel the mysteries of the Monstrum curse, and the truth behind the unrest within Balduq. |
