Annoying at first, this system did continually goad me into exploring more of the world and completing the not-so-optional sidequests. You have to keep pushing forward into higher-level areas. This means you can’t just run around the one location killing the same enemies. Once a character hits level 35, they’ll earn a minimal amount of XP when fighting weaker foes. I had to grind to catch them up, which isn’t a chore thanks to the Dimengeon battle system, but it also wasn’t a great help to the rest of my squad.įantasian really doesn’t want people cheesing the game to overpower their team. That was not the case with anyone else I found.

When I added the final two of my missing friends to my group, the rest of my party was a full 12 levels ahead of them.
As you find your comrades scattered around the world, they’ll come into the party at a set level.

While you’re free to tackle this half of the game as you wish, there is a clear path players should be traveling. At least, I did.Īdmittedly, part of my problem is I did things out of order. You can only have three characters in battle at once, but there are some encounters you may find you’ll need the skills of four or five party members to win. As long as a character isn’t dead, petrified, asleep, or enraged, you can switch them out without spending your turn. The game also makes switching party members in battle easy. The next time I did battle, I breezed right through the encounter. After dying six times in a row attempting to beat a boss, I made some minor tweaks to Valrika’s map (Hint: You’re going to want to max out her Arrow Rain asap). You can respec your Growth Map at any time with no artificial cost. Thankfully, Mistwalker made experimenting with character builds as hassle-free as possible. Certain skills can mean the difference between never being able to defeat a foe and beating them in one go. Each character has their own map you can use to unlock new skills as you level them up and I cannot stress enough how crucial many specific skills are for each character. Even if you meet or exceed the suggested minimum level for these fights, which is clearly advertised beforehand, you can find yourself seeing the game-over screen again and again if you just try to muscle your way through it.įinding success in the back half of Fantasian comes down to how well you can study your opponent and your Growth Map. Most bosses you face have multiple attack phases with moves that can devastate your team in just one blow. Mistwalker is pulling no punches here with boss battles that often made me want to break my iPad in two. One thing all new and returning players should be prepared for is a heightened difficulty level in this half of the game. Unlike the linear nature of the first half of Fantasian, the second half is open-ended, with quests you can take up and events you can complete in whichever order you want. Following the defeat of Vam in the first half of the game, the team is pulled apart by a wormhole with members scattered to different parts of the Human Realm and beyond. With zero fanfare, the second half of Fantasian picks up with heroes Leo, Prickle, Clicker, and Valrika leaving the Chaos Realm in search of Leo’s companions. If you want more information about the first half and the outstanding Dimengeon battle system, you can check out my review of it here. MSRP: Part of Apple Arcade ($4.99 a month)įor the sake of this review, I’m only going to cover the second half of Fantasian. But once you do get back into the swing of things, you’ll find the second half of this game is just as richly entertaining as the first, making for one hell of a complete package. There’s no recap or “last time on” to catch you up on things, so if you haven’t played since April like me, it may take a bit to jog your memory. It just picks up right where you left off. Because there was no indication how long it would take for the rest of the game to show up, and because the first half had a pretty concrete ending, I was under the impression this game would be two distinct parts, like Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.īut really, the second half of Fantasian is just that the second half of one complete game. When the game first released on Apple Arcade, subscribers were only given access to the first half of the adventure, an 18-to-25 hour romp around a world under threat from dangers from another dimension.
Right off the bat, I should make it clear there really is no Fantasian part two. I thought there’d be more ballerina hippos
