That system returns in CotC although a little more streamlined. There are those who can interrogate NPCs for information or even fight some of them for rewards. One of the unique aspects of Octopath Traveler is that your characters or travelers as they are called have special skills outside of combat. World Map, Story progression, and NPC Interactions Plus some characters have skills when placed in the back row, adding another layer to party management. The upside to this is you can cover almost all enemy weaknesses now since you have wider access to weapon types and elements. Only four of the eight will fight at a time. Sadly no, you don’t get to actively use them all in combat but rather switch between them. However, the main difference from the original is that instead of a party of four, you now have a party of eight. The boost system also makes a return but this time you can simultaneously boost all your party members. Exploiting these will still break and stun them for one turn while also lowering their defenses. CombatĬombat is pretty much the same as enemies still have weapon and elemental weaknesses. No, not auto questing like idle games but auto-pathing as in you can click on a spot on the map and your character will go to it. It’s not as tedious as you might think actually and requires very little touch input since you have some sort of auto-pathing.

The first of the major changes is how you move around the map. Most of the gameplay systems of the original carry over to this mobile iteration. Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent is an excellent JRPG that lets you enjoy one of the most popular new franchises in recent years, right on your Android device.Octopath Traveler still but with some twistsĬhampions of the Continent is Octopath Traveler through and through. Special mention also goes out to the graphics, which are at the same level as the games for Nintendo Switch and Windows. Yasunori Nishiki is back in charge of the music, with some new pieces to accompany you throughout the entire adventure.

It goes without saying that Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent maintains two of the elements that's made the saga so popular: gorgeous graphics and an excellent soundtrack.

Just like what happens in the first Octopath Traveler, each hero has his own abilities and attributes that will be more or less advantageous depending on the battle. You can control up to eight different heroes, with four on the front line of battle, and four in the rear. Visually speaking, the combat system in Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent is spectacular. The story is set a few years prior to the events that took place in the original title, on the same continent of Orsterra. Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent is a prequel to the great Octopath Traveler, available for Nintendo Switch and Windows.
