Octopath Traveler is a lovely game that took the Nintendo Switch by storm. It got me back into the JRPG genre after giving up on it after/during Final Fantasy X. The game features a huge cast and eight unique stories that makes playing again fun, instead of a chore for completion.
The title is finally leaving the Nintendo Switch and heading to PC this June. There isn’t anything new in the Steam listing so this might just be a straight port of the Nintendo Switch version. Square Enix is very hit-or-miss when it comes to their PC ports.
What you can expect:
- Play as eight different characters, each with their own stories to uncover and side quests to complete
- Explore the enchanting yet perilous world of Orsterra, spanning 8 vast regions and discover each character’s full story as their journey unfolds
- Use each character’s distinctive abilities (Path Actions), skills and talents in frenetic battles
- Enjoy the accessible yet deep turn-based combat battle system and break through enemy lines by identifying and targeting their weaknesses
- Solve side quests and story scenarios in a few different ways and take decisions that shape your path.
- Experience visuals inspired by retro 2D RPGs with beautiful realistic elements set in a 3D world
