Octopath Traveler 0

For the first time in the series' history, the gameplay begins with creating a character, and therefore - deciding on its appearance, voice, skills, or even culinary preferences. We have nothing left to do but to plunge into the whirl of adventures, during which we watch the action from a bird's eye view.

We explore Orsterra, we get to know its inhabitants, engage in conversations with them and make choices that affect the further course of the story. We also pick up quests and recruit team members from over 30 travelers, diversified in terms of professions and abilities.

Path Actions and city construction

Thanks to special actions called "Path Actions", we can acquire items from encountered characters, challenge them to duels, and also invite them to our city.

The second important novelty after character creation are the mechanics of rebuilding the settlement, thanks to which we erect buildings and step by step make the devastated city start to pulse with life again.

Turn-based battles

And speaking of combat - the battles take place in turn-based mode, and during them we take control of eight characters arranged in two rows on the battlefield. The game allows us to switch between the first and second row of units, and the key to success is primarily the skillful use of the Break & Boost system.

Thanks to this last feature, after reducing the enemy's shield to zero, we can "break" their defense and launch critical attacks. Additionally, after charging the enhancement points (BP) indicator, we can significantly increase the power of our attacks, as well as improve the effectiveness of support and regenerative abilities.
