I tried the demo out and I think it is pretty neat. This game reminded me of the shin megami tensei games. I really love the combat and the system to download abilities instead of the game giving you the ability as you progress. It expanded how I can approach an enemy. Although I didn't beat the game as it was difficult in my opinion, I just really love this game overall. I think what made me not continue the demo was because of not saving before an encounter which can be my fault but it is a little infuriating. Other than that love this game. awesome demo/10
Thank you for the play and feedback, Allekid!
There are 3 ways to gain abilities:
- 1: As you said, earning TP after battles and spending it through the Skills menu (this sometimes unlocks higher tiers). Skills gained this way must be equipped to use.
- 2: Talents are abilities gained through traditional method of leveling up (e.g. Pokemon) and are related to a character's inherent class/personality. Talents do not need to be equipped to use.
- 3: Scanning: A battle command that allows a character to gain an attacking enemy's skills in exchange that the character skips their turn to observe and download. Scanned skills usually are equipped to use immediately if there's an empty skill slot. If the scanned ability is gained with no empty skill slots, a skill must be swapped out for the scanned ability to use after the battle.
