Years ago, Cygames announced two new Granblue Fantasy spin-off titles, one is Granblue Fantasy: Versus and the other is Granblue Fantasy: Relink. The former is a fighting game that was officially released in 2020 and has sold more than 1 million units worldwide, while the latter is an action RPG that is currently confirmed to be released on PS4, PS5, and PC on February 1, 2024. If you're a veteran rider, you'll be interested in Relink. Today, the doctor will combine the previous information and the new information released by the official to introduce what kind of game it is.
According to the official description, the game content of Granblue Fantasy: Relink is divided into three parts: the main story, tavern quests, and difficult challenge levels. The main story is single-player, you can experience the game's world view and related plots, and the mission is completed by a team of one to four people, you can choose to play with friends, or you can let the system NPC to help, and finally, after the main story is cleared, you will unlock a difficult challenge level, at this time, you have to practice the character, the pursuit of more powerful weapons, it takes a lot of time.
In an exclusive interview, the producer of Granblue Fantasy: Relink said that the main story of the game can be completed in about 20 hours. Throughout the game, various missions and additional episodes will be unlocked one after another, and it will take another 20 hours to experience them all. The amount of time it takes to take on subsequent challenges varies from person to person, but in general, we spend another 60 hours honing your character's abilities and getting the best equipment. In other words, Granblue Fantasy Relink offers about 100 hours of gameplay.
The game's adventure stage is the so-called "Sky World", which is a place made up of many floating islands. The specific plot details, the doctor will not repeat them, it is better for everyone to experience it in person. We can choose a male or female character to start the adventure, as the plot progresses, there will be a variety of partners to join, each partner character operation and gameplay is different, from which to choose four (there is time for the protagonist to force the appearance) to fight, with a certain strategy.
Compared to the main content, the quest system is actually richer! There are multiple modes of quests, such as: boss challenge for battles, area exploration for finding props, and so on. There are also small sub-objectives under the big mission objectives, and the more you complete, the higher the final evaluation, and the higher the evaluation, the better the rewards you get!
The various resources we get in the process of the game are all for the purpose of developing our own characters, and there are four main aspects in terms of character development, the first is the level, which is currently 100 levels for the full level, the second is skills, the third is weapons and equipment, and the last one is the so-called "factor". Weapons can be equipped with "factors", different "factors" have different abilities and effects, which is the main thing that players are pursuing in the later game, for example: the main output character can be equipped with the factor of "reducing the probability of being targeted by monsters" and "shortening the skill cooldown", and the tank character needs to "increase the amount of defense HP" and "increase the probability of provocation".
In terms of action combat, normal attacks, special attacks (can be charged), skills, defense, dodge, etc. are not uncommon, and the so-called "mysterious" ultimate is not a new concept, there are only some small innovations in it, such as: When the big outbreak "link time" starts, the enemy's action slows down, our attack power increases, HP will slowly recover, and skill cooldown will also be shortened. It can only be said that the combat of "Granblue Fantasy: Relink" is quite refreshing, and there is no place that is particularly different from the competition.
Having said all this, I believe that many people, like the Doctor, think of the "Monster Hunter" series! That's right, "Granblue Fantasy: Relink" is actually a fantasy-style action product that focuses on fighting gameplay. If Monster Hunter is more about combat skills, then Granblue Fantasy: Relink has a lot more RPG elements. Do you like this type of game?
