Tales of the Tempest

200663/100
Role-playing (RPG)Adventure

Fantasy

A stripped-down, handheld entry in the long-running series, this is a decidedly more linear and focused experience than its console brethren. Tales of the Tempest streamlined the "Linear Motion Battle System" to accommodate the Nintendo DS's limitations, emphasizing quick, combo-driven encounters. Though the narrative is a familiar tale of chosen heroes and world-threatening peril, the game's brisk pace and the intimate scale of its cast make it a memorable, if somewhat flawed, entry point to the franchise.

About Tales of the Tempest

Details
Tales of the Tempest, the first Tales title for the DS concerns Caius, a boy with the ability to unleash the beast inside him, and his quest to find his true parents. The game is presented in 3D and uses a battle system similar to Tales of Rebirth. Enemies and allies are all on 3 lines, with the player switching between them at will. The Touch Screen may be used for special attacks never before seen in the Tales series, allowing lots more variety in battle. The big feature of this game is the ability for certain characters to transform into werewolves, gaining extra power and speed at the cost of techniques.
