A lot of these are just regular JRPGs! NOT FRESH!
Well yes, but they are good. ?
Though, a lot does do things you wouldn’t normally expect as well.
On another note Chrono Ark is a Korean game. A party based deck builder.
It can be hard starting off, but they have a pace for everyone. You have to manage a mana system, with the type of cards each character can use.
Learning chains is very important, but also paying attention to each boss. There is a certain way to approach each boss, otherwise you can risk wiping out your team.
There is a wide range of combinations, and many community supported mods. One of which allows the main character to be a part of the team normally, and that character is the most powerful, since they can initiate an infinite chain.
Boss battles gives the main character exclusive skills, these has to be used carefully, and woven into your strategy to win.
Sometimes as well, there are penalties. One of which is a witch boss, you have to choose which character to curse, or all of them gets cursed. That curse is like a timer, the longer you take the worse it gets.
On top of this, there is a time limit until a fog blows in completely. If you don’t act fast enough, this fog dramatically boosts the enemies stats.
Despite all of this, it is pretty fast paced with killer music.
Pretty good art style as well.
Also, apparently the character killed a hedgehog’s father who comes back to try and kill them as a bonus boss. ?
Bonus bosses are hard as hell.
To explain more on exclusive commands. And there are many of them based on the boss battles.
Certain battles can only be won when conditions are met, so the main character gets an exclusive command to do so.
The second to last battle really brings this to the max.
You have only around 5 uses of a command to clear out the boss’ support, so timing is key. This boss has three phases.
On top of this, when they reach 1 HP. The main character gets an exclusive skill to advance to the next stage.
The second stage, you also have to survive a turn while getting bombarded. The third stage, you have to bring down both their main support at the same time, which opens the boss up for the final exclusive skill.
The clashes in that battle was amazing. Each phase, they animate the clash between the two characters.
This is the only time you will ever see the main character’s abilities animated, and they did all of them, except for one which is shown in the True End.
Anyway, point is. The exclusive commands have to be woven into your strategies in order to win.
