A co-op-friendly fantasy RPG
GranBlue Fantasy Relink is the long-awaited sequel to the popular RPG, GranBlue Fantasy. This title from Cygames follows the events of the first installment, so fans of the franchise can look forward to familiar sights and characters alongside a number of new adventures.
Similar to its predecessor, GranBlue Fantasy Relink makes use of turn-based combat elements where you will have to gather a group of four characters to make up your team. The other three characters apart from your own will either be controlled by other players in co-op mode or a CPU in solo gameplay.
What can you expect?
The story of GranBlue Fantasy Relink takes place in a mystical world filled with futuristic elements. Here, you will be able to run into a number of unique and interesting characters—each with its own stories and subplots. Unlike the previous installment where the characters and environment were presented in a 2D format, players can look forward to a more immersive experience with lifelike 3D visuals in this iteration.
With a stunning open world for you to explore, players can scour intriguing areas of interest with different sceneries and unique opponents waiting around each corner. As previously mentioned, you will have the opportunity to engage in turn-based combat—which can feel quite draggy for some players—however, this also allows you to come up with better strategies that will allow you to synergize with your teammates.
In order to play with friends on the same team, you’ll have to make sure you’re connected to a stable internet connection. No worries, though, as you can also opt to play solo and allow the game to control your team members so that you don’t have to worry about managing each member in the middle of a particularly intense battle.
Explore a vast world
While the turn-based combat elements of GranBlue Fantasy Relink can feel quite tedious for some players, this allows more opportunities for players to think over the next best course of action rather than simply hacking and slashing whatever’s in their way. Not to mention, the gorgeous imagery and lore-filled plot blend together quite well to build an entertaining open world for players to enjoy.
