You will play as the “Chosen One” and you will have to fight your way through ruthless tyrants who only want to unleash darkness on the world. Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent will take you to the world of Orsterra, a few years before the events of the original Octopath Traveler. Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent, a prequel to the Nintendo Switch mobile game The game has been available in mobile app stores for a while in Asia, but has only recently made its way to the West. This is Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent, a title that works as prequel to the original Octopath Traveler and that bears many similarities with him, as expected. Now, Square Enix has released a new installment of this saga for Android and iOS mobiles… and it’s free! Initially, it was exclusive to Nintendo Switch, but it is now available on Windows PC, Stadia, and Xbox One. It’s like being inspired by the architecture of a skyscraper, but you’re building a house.Octopath Traveler is a JRPG from Square Enix that reminds us of the good old days of the company where everything they launched was a masterpiece. There’s a lot of inspiration to be had in Octopath Traveler but you’re gonna have to pick and choose. So I would recommend picking and choosing the parts that you want to borrow from Octopath.ĭo you want to combine 2D sprites with a 3D environment? Not too hard, there’s a technique called “sprite billboards” that lets you do that.ĭo you want to create a 16-bit style RPG with a sprawling map and a bunch of quests? You can get there a lot quicker with tools like RPG Maker, which lets you focus on content creation.ĭo you want to design your own turn-based battle system with elemental weaknesses? That can be a lot of fun, and there are plenty of tutorials for creating turn-based RPGs in Unity. And then there’s all of the effort it takes to balance a game-countless hours and days spent tweaking numbers in spreadsheets to try and make the characters, equipment, and monsters make sense. Something as simple as a forest path or a basic sidequest can involve a ton of work. I think a lot of people underestimate how much content creation is involved in making an RPG. It’s just such a damn big game, with a lot going on-there’s all the 3D environments, the 2D art, and then a full orchestra. Obviously making a game much like Octopath Traveler is out of reach for an indie developer.
