Turn-Based Play

You choose between six unique playable characters, each with their own backstory, personal objectives, play style and affiliations. Battles are turned-based but still require some well-timed button presses to gain offensive and defensive advantages. There's also time for slower-paced play: sailing, cooking, fishing, and stopping by a tavern to listen to a song.

The result is a game that looks like a retro adventure but soon grows into an expansive saga. Through each character you meet you find out more about yourself and the world in which you live. It's a journey about friendship with some very unexpected twists.

Good to know

Insights to ensure your child's gaming experience remains safe and enjoyable

Set time limits

Set screen time boundaries to get your child moving regularly and to give their eyes a break. Find options available through parental controls available on the console or in-game.

Manage online interactions

Multiplayer games can pose additional contact risks from both people the child knows and doesn't know, commonly in the form of bullying or hate. Talk about what positive behaviour looks like and review in-game settings and console parental controls to keep them safe.

Highlight safety features

For games where your child might interact with others online, make sure you review tools like report and block to help them stay safe.

Content rating

Rated PEGI 7 for Violence and Fear. This game contains turn-based battle scenes featuring unrealistic violence between human-like and fantasy characters, with the use of both weapons and magical attacks. Characters flash when hit and damage is shown in the form of numbers but no visible injuries or blood are shown. Defeated enemies disappear, while the players' characters faint with stars around their heads until they are revived or the battle is over. Some of the larger enemies can be scary in nature, which younger children may find frightening. There is use of very mild terms such as 'damn'.
