Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth Of Destiny is the sequel to the
popular RPG about a young alchemist looking to prove himself.
In this continuation of the story, you'll take control of
two main characters, each with their own playing style. You'll
switch between them at will, as one travels the world for
turn-based battle, while the other uses his skills to stay
behind and create magical items. The two characters will magically
share a common item pouch, allowing them to communicate as
well as share & use different items...
This
sequel gives players an entirely new cast of characters to
get to know, as well as offering two different worlds to explore
- where the actions in one can have a massive effect on the
other. Players take on the roles of two orphans in a desperate
struggle to save their land, Eden from destruction. In order
to save Eden though, one of them needs to travel to the world
of Belkhyde to uncover the reasons behind the fate of their
land, while the other must stay behind on Eden to try to delay
its impending doom.
With
unique abilities specific to each character, players must
switch between the two to aid each others cause. The game
was developed by the renowned Japanese software company Gust,
who have created a brand new "Active Time Battle System" which
now gives players the chance to see who is going to strike
first. It also enables characters to enter "break mode", which
magnifies hits and allows attacks to be strung together to
unleash some serious damage.
Take
a blow from your enemy however, and you could be knocked into
the "break zone", making you vulnerable to chained attacks
and much bigger damage. Charge attacks also enable characters
to pull off truly spectacular attacks, depending upon the
skills that individual has developed.
The
story events set the setting and explain your mission. The
initial goal of the game is to save Eden from destruction.
At the start Viese is the only alchemist who can create valuable
Mana items. Therefore, you are required to switch your characters
between Felt and Viese to synthesise items.
Travel between destinations is conducted on a simple map.
Simply point and click the destination you wish to go. Both
Felt and Viese can extract elements by destroying objects
found in dungeons and action maps. Item synthesis is a Mana
skill to create new items from objects you collect during
the quest. Items you create can be used to blacksmith new
weapons during the quest. The more items you create, the more
weapons you can blacksmith.
This
game is for all those old school types who want to engaging
in a gripping and exciting storyline. While this shouldn't
take you any longer than a lazy weekend to complete, the replay
value is worth the money.
