Our take on Tales of Spark
Rather than centering on stealth, survival preparation, or party-based defense, the game uses a single swordsman, desert exploration, real-time melee combat, and equipment customization as its main structure.
What is Tales of Spark?
Play as a wandering swordsman exploring a desert shaped by an Eastern-inspired fantasy story.
Real-time hack-and-slash combat pits the hero against more than 50 monster types, enhanced variants, and over a dozen bosses. The world includes a large map, 5 major dungeons, and 10 smaller underground palaces. Character building centers on 1 hero with 20 skills and 30 talents. A main quest and a dozen side quests accompany equipment collection, including random gear, more than 120 ancient items, jade, and consumables. Equipment with slots can receive jade stones, with certain insertion orders producing special Jade Echoes equipment.
