The little JRPG of the summer?
Developed by Team Asano, the team behind Octopath Traveler or even Bravely DefaultThe Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales offers an adventure combining real-time action and exploration, a bit like Falcom’s old Ys on PSP.
The story immerses us in a world called Philabieldia, a wild continent invaded by tribes of beasts and where humanity only survives within a single fortified city. We play Elliot, a young adventurer accompanied by his fairy companion Faie, who sets out to explore ancient mysterious ruins discovered beyond the protective walls and ends up embarking on a journey that crosses both space and time.
On the gameplay side, Elliot offers dynamic real-time combat with the possibility of using seven different types of weapons (sword, bow, chains, sickles, etc.) customizable via a magilithe system which modifies their effects. Faie also plays a strategic role by helping us in combat, collecting hard-to-reach items or solving puzzles. In addition, it can be controlled in cooperative mode by a second player.
A sublime (but expensive) collector’s edition for the lucky ones
Available exclusively on the Square Enix store at a price of €239.99, the Collector’s Edition of the title includes :
- a copy of the game on PS5, Xbox Series or Switch 2
- a code for the Digital Deluxe Upgrade
- the game’s soundtrack via several CDs
- a diorama-style table clock with the image of Faie and the “Gate of Time”.
We are also entitled to the final cover of the game which reminds us that we will indeed have “a Game Key Card” for the Switch 2 version.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales will therefore be released on June 18 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC.
