Tales of Berseria Demo

JRPGs are the perfect medium to experiment with weird gameplay mechanics and fighting systems, since everyone is already accustomed to their unusual approach to the genre. While most western RPGs are designed to feature classic D&D rules or turn-based combat, although real-time fighting is also present in many great games, such as The Elder Scrolls or The Witcher series.

Tales of Berseria is a new-age JRPG that sports an action-oriented game in which you play as a girl who joins a team of pirates and explores the world in search of adventure. The mechanics are designed to be as fluid as possible, especially when it comes to combat, but there are other impressive things to talk about as well, including the story and the world design.

Your character’s name is Velvet, who has recently gone through a few tough experiences that have left her rather angry and violent. Her new demeanor is mostly visible in her combat moves, since she is more than eager to inflict pain and suffering on her foes. Speaking of which, the combat revolves around fast-paced combos, which require you to press directional keys in a specific order to unleash powerful strikes.

Even if everything moves incredibly fast around you, the game is by no means tough to get into, since you can use the tutorial to learn how to handle yourself from the first few minutes. Granted, more difficult battles await you later on, but the demo at hand is not long enough for that to happen. There’s plenty of content to help you form an idea of what to expect from the full game, on the other hand.

Lastly, the graphics are worth a mention as well, because the designers did a wonderful job in regards to character design and animations, not to mention the special effects added on top. The world is very enjoyable as well, sporting bright colors and a variety of environments. To make things even better, you don’t even require a powerful right to enjoy all of this.

All things considered, it’s the combo system that makes Tales of Berseria so enjoyable and immersive. However, everything else appears to be fairly polished as well, so the overall experience should be great if you are a fan of the genre.
