On this edition of Try Play, Alex shows Anthony Project Octopath Traveler gameplay, developed by Acquire and published by Square Enix.
Project Octopath Traveler is an upcoming role-playing game being developed by Square Enix and Acquire for the Nintendo Switch. In Japan it is published by Square Enix, while Nintendo will handle publishing internationally. The game is scheduled for release in 2018.
Project Octopath Traveler is a role-playing game that sports a "HD-2D" aesthetic, combining 16-bit style character sprites and textures with polygonal environments and high definition effects. The game puts players in the role of one of eight adventurers, who each begin their journey in different ways. Each character has a unique command that can be used when interacting with NPCs. For example, Olberic can challenge characters to battle against him, while Primrose can allure characters to follow her, allowing her to summon them during battles.
The game features turn-based battles, in which the player can attack using different kinds of weapons or elemental attacks, as well as use abilities and items. Playable characters receive a Boost Point, of which they can store up to five at a time. During their turn, a player can use up to three Boost Points to boost a command, allowing their character to attack multiple times, raise their defense, or increase the potency of an ability. Enemies have a shield counter which lowers whenever they are attacked with a weapon or element they are weak against. When the counter is depleted, they will enter a stunned state where they can receive more damage.
