Xenogears
About the Game
A war has been raging on the continent of Ignas between the Kislev Empire to the north and the kingdom of Aveh in the south. It has gone for so long that people have forgotten the cause. As a mysterious organization known as "Ethos" introduces an ancient technology in the form of huge mega-robots, the tides are turning. Gebler, a military organization with an unknown agenda, is pulling the strings and supports Aveh to regain its authority over Kislev.
Story & Setting
Pursued by military governments and mysterious forces, Fei sets out on an epic quest for answers and his own forgotten past.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The characters have the ability to jump, which must be used on several occasions to access specific locations. There are two types of combat in the game: standard and gear. In standard combat, the characters fight with equipped weapons, learning and performing different combos that can be executed in one turn. But often the heroes will have to explore dungeons while piloting giant robots called "gears". Gear combat follows different rules: they are able to perform actions until they run out of fuel, therefore players must concentrate on finishing the enemy quickly.
Standout Features
- Kislev's: A failed attempt to steal one of Kislev's new Gears, a giant robot named "Weltall", leads to a fight between a group of Gebler and Kislev guards in the remote town of Lahan in the outskirts of Aveh.
- Xenogears is a Japanese-style RPG with a few distinguishing features.
- Gears cannot level up, but can be upgraded in workshops.
