One thing that I really find helps your experience of the game a little bit better is the capability of being able to save anywhere. The first ring lets you freeze enemies on their tracks or activate switches. Zodiac rings are items that will help you navigate the dungeons better. The game even helps you to avoid them with one of the zodiac rings that you can find in the first dungeon. This gives you an option to either fight them or avoid them. The good thing about the enemies is that you can see them visibly in the area. Enemies can respawn regardless of whether you’ve already visited an area or not.
There are some clues though like the chests that you have opened as they will remain open. This means you are likely to get lost while exploring them since there’s no indication that you’ve already visited an area. You won’t have a minimap to guide you while you’re in the dungeons. Some of the dungeons are very linear and straightforward while others are a little complicated to navigate. This is where most of the story happens as you will always most likely explore a dungeon to defeat a boss and propel the story forward. The game relies on dungeons that you can explore to fight enemies. This adds another level of complexity to the game since you’d have to think about where to spend your points to maximize the capabilities of your characters. Even though you have unlocked the main job, you can still spend SP towards the basic job skill tree. You can spend SP to unlock skills and attributes in the skill trees. Unlocking these jobs also unlocks the corresponding skill trees. The enemies are also able to use their own focus points.Įach of the characters starts with a base job but later on in the game, you are able to get tokens that will let you unlock Main Jobs and Support Jobs. On the other hand, if you hit an enemy with what they are resistant to or if they absorb your attack, you will lose focus points and this can go to the negatives. You can stock up on focus points by either the previously mentioned method of using the Focus command or hitting enemies with their weakness. Using focus points increases the effectivity of your attacks and skills up to 200%. There’s a command ability called Focus which allows your character to contribute +1 focus point to the meter. I like how you this has been added to ensure that each character is not just some punching bag waiting to be taken out.
The Focus Points System makes the game unique because it allows your party members to always be useful in battle. This makes the combat always interesting because you’d always need to think on how best to attack the enemy. Focus points is a mechanic of the game where if you earn them, you can use them towards strengthening your attacks and skills. Knowing the enemy’s weakness, you can then use this element against them which will net you bonus focus points.
Knowing an enemy’s weakness is really important in combat. They also have strengths and weaknesses that you can exploit. This then leads to a string of events that puts our heroes into a situation where they need to save the world. It was a peaceful day in the Capital when suddenly, Noises attack the orchard. You take control of Ulan who is the leader of the group. The story takes you to the 333rd group of demi-gods. The chosen demi-gods only have 3 years to live before they get ascended in which they will die and be replaced by another set of demi-gods. Let’s deep dive into the game and see what it’s all about.Īstria Ascending is about 8 demi-gods, beings that were chosen to protect the peace of the world. Astria Ascending is a new JRPG game filled with interesting characters and innovative combat gameplay.
