Our take on XenoWorld ~The Rondeau of Astra~
The bounce point arrives in combat: players must work within chess movement rules while also managing promotions, engravings, and changing event effects. Anyone expecting direct character control or conventional RPG battles may hit that system before the story has time to compensate.
What is XenoWorld ~The Rondeau of Astra~?
Control a central commander through successive battles in the mist-covered Donudei Forest while uncovering secrets about the otherworldly continent of Astra.
Combat follows classic Western chess rules, with pieces able to promote and gain stronger abilities, higher values, and wider movement. After battles, collected engravings can be equipped to pieces and combined into different effects. Roguelike events may strengthen or weaken the party or provide new pieces. The game includes 13 distinct boss encounters, with bosses having between 10 and 40 skills and about 8 passive combinations. Several commanders offer different attack, survival, mobility, and draw profiles, including a saint, adventurers, a princess, and an awakened automaton.
