Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Switch NSP Free Download Romslab With just a few more weeks to go now until the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, we’ve been busy getting to grips with the latest entry in Monolith Soft’s epic action-RPG series and, you may be relieved to hear, it’s more than living up to our lofty expectations so far. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 introduces us to Aionios, a war-torn world where the warriors of two factions, Keves and Agnus, battle each other in an endless cycle of all-out destruction. These warriors are fully committed to their roles in life, unwavering in the belief that they are born from Aionios’ Queen and destined to serve her by fighting constantly through the ten years — or “terms” — that make up their short and brutal existences.

It’s a bleak existence, and the opening chapter of the game does a fantastic job in setting the scene, introducing us first to Noah, Lanz, and Eunie, three Keves soldiers who dutifully fight alongside one another across battle-blasted landscapes where enormous mechs lay waste to innumerable enemies on either side. As they fight and destroy their foes, they leech the very life energy out of the husks that remain, each fighter’s soul flame being sucked upwards into their enemy’s Flame Clocks, huge machines that take stock of just how many victims their side has claimed in battle. Every fighter on the battlefield is linked to these Flame Clocks through an Iris device and they must, as Noah puts it.

A promising story

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 wastes no time in flinging you straight into the mix, boots on the ground and right into battle as it methodically explains its various combat mechanics. Fans of the series will already know what to expect at the outset here and early on we’re introduced to the returning concept of auto-attacking, which functions just as it did in the game’s predecessors. Get in range of an opponent and engage in a fight and your character will take timed swings to do damage, you’ll need to get used to the timings and rhythm of these attacks in order to then make use of your Arts, assigned to the ‘X’, ‘Y’, and ‘B’ buttons.

Arts recharge over time and you’ll need to unleash them in rhythm with your auto-attacks in order to perform them properly. in the opening few hours it seems not much has changed with regards to the combat here but, of course, there are many, many layers to be added You’ll also need to take your position into account here, with back attacks needing to be performed from the back, side attacks from the side and so on if you want to fully benefit from their damage output, pull off Break/Topple/Daze/Launch combos that see your foes opened up for maximum damage, and charge a character-specific Talent Art that really lets loose the big guns.

Compelling but confusing combat

On top of this, you’ll need to take stock of the fighting lines emanating from foes that indicate whether or not you’ve drawn an enemy’s aggro, as indicated by a red-coloured line showing that you have the full and undivided attention of the soldier or beast you’re currently tussling with. So far, so Xenoblade Chronicles, and in the opening few hours it seems not much has changed with regards to the combat here but, of course, there are many, many layers to be added as the adventure progresses. Just as you’re getting to grips with the basic flow of combat in the opening hour or two, Noah, Eunie, and Lanz are sent out on another routine mission from Colony 9.

This time it’s one that takes an entirely unexpected turn, a turn that throws into question everything these characters believe in and stand for. Facing off against strange automatons controlled by a mystery man who seems to fight for neither Keves or Agnus, our three heroes find themselves — after much argument — joining forces with Mio, Sena and Taion, Agnian soldiers who’ve been sent on the exact same mission. It’s here we get our first glimpse of a new enemy, Moebius, with our six-strong team of heroes taking on a huge foe as they get to grips with all-new powers granted to them by a glowing Ouroboros stone. The interlink mechanic immediately transforms the action, giving you screen-shaking attacks to pull off

I’m glad this series still lives on

We won’t go into too much detail here, it’s really best you enjoy this rollercoaster ride unsullied, but if you’ve been keeping up with official preview content drops for the game, you’ll have already gotten a glimpse of the game’s fancy new Interlink system. The power of the Ouroboros stone enables Noah and Mio to become one being, seeing each other’s entire pasts, reading each other’s thoughts and, more importantly, transforming into a huge new form that’s fit to take on the biggest and baddest that Moebius can throw at them. The interlink mechanic immediately transforms the action here, giving you screen-shaking attacks to pull off and tasking you with building up your Interlink level, a gauge on the left of the screen that can be powered up through three stages of readiness.

Once in Ouroboros form, the basic flow of attacks and how you deploy them remains much the same, with your auto-attack rhythm, arts and positioning all-important. However, you must now also watch your Interlink gauge as you fight because you’ll need to drop out of Interlink mode before overheating or suffer a penalty that sees the ability locked off for an extended period of time. Yep, every time you assume Ouroboros form here you’re on a timer and you need to think ahead and plan your strategy with regards to when you transform in order to maximise its benefits.
