2024 video game Forspoken is a 2024 action role-playing game developed by Luminous Productions and published by Square Enix. The game 🌈 was released for PlayStation 5 and Windows on January 24, 2024. It received mixed reviews from critics and failed to 🌈 meet the sales expectations of Square Enix. It was the last game from Luminous Productions before the company's closure on 🌈 May 1, 2024. Gameplay [ edit ] According to director Takeshi Aramaki, the gameplay was designed to be focused on terrain traversal 🌈 speed and fluidity.[1] Square Enix also described the game as a "narrative-driven adventure".[2] The character exists in an open world 🌈 game format where players are able to travel anywhere at any time.[3] The player character, Frey, has access to a variety 🌈 of magical spells. Following each combat encounter, the player earns experience points. Frey's cloak can be upgraded in order to 🌈 improve her combat efficiency and stats, while applying nail polish unlocks special abilities.[4] The player can also craft new items, 🌈 or rest at a safe location in order to restore health. While the player is exploring the game world, they 🌈 may encounter a "breakstorm", a scenario similar to a horde mode in which waves of demonic creatures spawn and attack 🌈 Frey. The storm ends with the appearance of a named boss character.[5] |
