In the published material, we can take a closer look at the gameplay, which is significantly different from what the Pokemon series usually serves to players . The new combat system, crafting and a much more dynamic gameplay are some of the listed elements of this title. You can check out the minute trailer below.
One of the most characteristic features of the series are, of course, turn-based battles with wild Pokemon and those with trainers. In Pokemon Legends: Arceus , the developers will depart from it. This time around, it won’t be going from map to combat, and instead it’s all set to take place in real time. Now, in addition to the right tactics, players’ reflexes will also be important. The speed of the attacks will be crucial for the course of the clashes.
The creators highlighted the importance of crafting in this part. Of course, this is not the first time that crafting items will be made available in Pokemon , but so far this mechanic has not been a significant element of the game. There will also be new alternative forms of well-known creatures and completely new evolutions.
In Pokemon Legends: Arceus the action was set in the past (the developers refer to this period as “feudal”). Players will play the role of a trainer whose goal is to create the first Pokedex of the Sinnoh region, which was then called Hisui. For now, it is not known how big a role for the story will be played by the legendary Pokemon from this region – Arceus, Dialga and Palkia – and whether those known from other regions will appear. Many elements of the game are still kept secret.
The premiere of Pokemon Legends: Arceus is scheduled for January 28th.
