Octopath Traveler

Octopath Traveler is a role-playing game from the Bravely Default team. It was released for the Nintendo Switch in 2018 and later for PC and other platforms. It brings a new world to life through a mix of CG, pixel art and HD-2D visuals, with a look inspired by retro 2D RPGs set in a 3D world. The game is set in the world of Orsterra, which spans eight regions. The player takes control of eight travelers, each with their own origins, paths, goals, stories and side quests. Where to begin, who to team up with and where to go next are all up to the player. The player discovers each character's full story as their travels unfold. Each traveler has a distinctive Path Action, a specialized way of achieving objectives and interacting with the people you meet. The warrior can challenge people to a duel, whereas the dancer can allure others to follow her, even into battle. Combat is turn based, and players break through enemy lines by identifying and targeting enemy weaknesses. Side quests and story scenarios can be solved in a few ways, and the decisions the player takes shape their path. The game is played alone.
