Next, there’s the regular utility menu, which lets you use inventory items. When it’s your turn to act, you get a few options: First, the abilities’ menu, which allows you to attack. Enemies can interrupt abilities’ charging – so watch out!Įach attack has attributes that enemies are either vulnerable to (heavy damage), resistant to (little to no damage) or completely ignore. You will need to plan your attack carefully. Some abilities take time to execute – others are instant. Those can improve your strategic attack – or your enemies’, if you aren’t careful. Each attack has a category, based on attributes and status effects. Combat accuracy depends on its specific rating and the direction you’re facing. Enemies’ and allies’ meters charge every time you do something.

Each character has a specific meter – whichever character has it at full acts first. Grid-based movement allows you to surround your foe and pummel them!Ĭombat actions occur based on a charging system. Or, with careful planning, you can set enemies up for either a strategic combo attack, or grid hazards. For example, you can create space to avoid enemy attacks while counter-attacking.

Movement is on a grid, and the system allows many interesting strategies. These many features allow it to always keep things fresh and exciting. Live A Live finally makes it west on Nintendo Switch, and I couldn’t wait to try out the demo! CombatĬombat can make or break an RPG – and in Live A Live’s case, it’s definitely the former! The game offers a variety of attacks, status effects, tactics and animations. Still, these, along with the Wild West, were the ones I most looked forward to. The demo, however, had just three of those – so far I’ve tried Imperial China and Edo Japan. Time periods range from Pre-Historic, Imperial China, Edo Japan, the Wild West and all the way to the far future. Live A Live is a turn-based strategy/RPG where heroes from different time periods confront the Mysterious Odio. Now, that I finally had a chance to try out the demo on Nintendo Store, I was pleasantly surprised. One of the more anticipated RPGs, Live A Live, has finally arrived in the west – in this Nintendo Switch remake.
