OCTOPATH TRAVELER II

  • JRPG
  • Turn-based
  • Pixel art

A turn-based JRPG with HD-2D visuals: you pick one of eight travellers and come across the rest, each with their own chapter-based story. In battle you break shields by hitting weaknesses and build up points to power up your actions.

Why play it now

When you want a long JRPG you can play chapter by chapter: one rarely runs past two hours.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys tactical turn-based battles and would rather have eight separate stories than a close-knit party.

When not to pick it

If you hate levelling up through battles: anyone outside your active party earns no experience.
