E3 2018: Octopath Traveler Receives Release Date

By Josh PiedraJune 11, 2018
Octopath Traveler

Square-Enix announced during their E3 presentation showcase that their highly-anticipated RPG Octopath Traveler will be releasing on July 13! The game is set to release on the Nintendo Switch!

Octopath Traveler is a role-playing game that sports an “HD-2D” aesthetic, defined by the developers as combining 16-bit Super NES-style character sprites and textures with polygonal environments and high-definition effects. The game puts players in the role of one of eight adventurers, who each begin their journey in different ways. Each character has a unique command that can be used when interacting with NPCs. For example, Olberic can challenge characters to battle against him, while Primrose can allure characters to follow her, allowing her to summon them during battles.

The game features turn-based battles, in which the player can attack using different kinds of weapons or elemental attacks, as well as use abilities and items. Playable characters receive a Boost Point at the end of every turn, of which they can store up to five at a time. During their turn, a player can use up to three Boost Points to boost a command, allowing their character to attack multiple times, raise their defense, or increase the potency of an ability. Enemies have a shield counter that lowers whenever they are attacked with a weapon or element they are weak against. When the counter is depleted, they will enter a stunned state where they can receive more damage and lose a turn.
