Our take on FARSIDERS
Players who need a clearly explained progression loop may hit a wall when the game introduces spell cards and weapon combinations: the description names these systems but gives no detail on how they are managed or developed.
What is FARSIDERS?
FARSIDERS is a top-down, isometric 3D action RPG that mixes futuristic technology with medieval magic and Arthurian legends.
The story follows Cassie, a member of the Spectralon group, after a portal sends her into a mythical realm. She travels between the worlds of Osthal and Tellune while trying to stop the Soul Syndicate. Combat takes place in real time, with sword, gun and magic options, spell cards to collect and combine with weapons, and fights against more than 30 types of enemies as well as bosses. Along the way, Cassie encounters figures including Lancelot and learns about the realm’s legends.
