is this an action rpg similar to Tales of Arise?

[UselessFoetus]

and hows the single player?

Looks like they yanked the demo. That's unfortunate. Would have answered this perfectly.

Battle engine - yes. Otherwise...the closest parallel is Monster Hunter Stories 2 in terms of what you're doing and how.

No, this is game is more similar to Inifity Strash The Adventure of Dai. The story is not the core of the game, it has 12 hours duration the rest are fetch quests to grind and improve your equipment whiches can be made online with random people or friends. These endgame quests are like an arena fighter game 4 characters vs mobs or bosses.

So don't expect a JRPG with freedom to explore, there is a linear story to introduce you to the game and later the core game which is grind for grind.

Infinity's Trash is largely indoor/dungeon crawler with no exploration at all. Not even close.

No, it's nothing like that trash pile and disgrace to the Tales series. Don't you ever compare the two again.

As for the Tales series in general, the combat in this game is a lot less snappy and more flowing like an action/cuhrayzee game than the Tales Series' more 3d-fighter pace to combat, and takes place in much wider arenas with a lot more heavy mechanics going on during boss fights. It's more comparable to cuhrazee fighters, Dragon's Dogma, Nier games, and certain older MMOs like PSO, Vindictus, and Divine Souls (of all things) in that way, AOE indicators and all. The game also controls nothing like a tales game because instead of using the direction>artes of older games or the artes-in-combos like Berseria and some oddball older titles, it uses light attack>heavy attack chains like Dynasty Warriors games do, with four skills you can use with CDs, and then has extra mechanics on top of that based on the character.

Oddly enough, the most recent release with a similar combat cadence and control scheme I'd say is code vein, but if you turned all the animations up to 11, made blocking actually good on every weapon, and turned the blood code abilities from mana-based to being CD-based.

Cool thanks a lot, seems this isn't for me then.

I think this game is like 'Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen, Monster Hunter, Tales of Arise, Final Fantasy (Not old ones.), etc.'
And I like it.

That's quite the trash take you got there.

Why are you using this made up word like it's a real thing.

[harisenvin]

its 10x better than Arise in every single way.

its a mix of FF16 combat, MH Rise NPC allies and online coop structure, Xenoblade 3 skill hotkeys with GBF characters.

Tip: ignore Tier lists, play who you like. the game will be powercrept hard with the release of the two Eternals: Seven and Song(Tweyen) in two months via FREE update anyways lol

[Shados]

Its a weird God Eater/Monster Hunter style game with the anime cranked to 11. There's a story/action RPG, but all the fluff/exploring/filtter has been removed and you just go from one major action scene to the next. It's a really strange formula, but if you like the anime theme and super flashy combat, you'll enjoy it.

[razor]

Just button mash this ez mode casual joke of a game

[Shiki Yui]

If anything this game reminds more of Vindictus

[Slim_Cognito]

It's the best of it's kind.
