The masters of the classic JRPG are back with another grand adventure, this time centred on the ancient and mystical art of summoning.
Astral Takers, the latest from VANGUARD and KEMCO, has launched, delivering a new tale of intertwined destinies on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, as well as PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch for £16.74.
Prepare to cross paths with a mysterious girl in Astral Takers, face powerful enemies threatening your world, and build the perfect team of summoned heroes in this new tactical, turn-based adventure, complete with Xbox Play Anywhere support.
A Girl Without a Memory
In Astral Takers, you play as Revyse, a young apprentice studying the art of Summoning under his master, Volgrim. His life takes a dramatic turn when he crosses paths with Aurora – a mysterious girl who has lost her memory. As their destinies intertwine, they will face great trials, forge powerful bonds, and confront formidable enemies that threaten their entire world.
The core of Astral Takers’ gameplay is the awakened power of Summoning. As Revyse, you can use powerful Echostones to summon legendary heroes from distant realms. You can recruit up to eight unique characters, each with their own distinct abilities and skills.
From this roster, you must strategically form a party of four to challenge the dungeons that lie ahead.
Tactical, Turn-Based Command Battles
This is a classic turn-based JRPG that rewards careful planning. A key feature is that enemy actions are predicted, giving you the edge to plan your moves and adapt your strategy accordingly. You can also swap party members mid-battle and will need to exploit character affinities to gain a crucial advantage against powerful opponents.
If a battle becomes too tough, you can always explore the vast dungeons for better gear, purchase the latest equipment, or make the strategic choice to retreat and fight another day.
Seamless Adventuring with Xbox Play Anywhere
A fantastic feature for players who game across the Microsoft ecosystem, Xbox Play Anywhere means that when you purchase a supported game digitally, you own it on both platforms.
In the case of Astral Takers, buying it once from the Xbox Store for £16.74 gets you the game on both your Xbox console (One or Series X|S) and your Windows PC.
Best of all, your saved progress and achievements are stored in the cloud, so you can pick up where you left off on another device at any time.
Another Tale from the KEMCO Library
KEMCO continues its relentless charge on the Xbox platform, bringing a huge variety of RPGs and narrative adventures to players.
This new, more traditional JRPG joins other recent and more experimental KEMCO releases like the card deck-building roguelite Novel Rogue, showcasing their impressive genre diversity.
