Metaphor: ReFantazio players must strike enemy weaknesses to gain additional turns in command battles, similarly to the press turn system in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. This may be achieved by equipping one out of 40 Archetypes, analyzing foes, and striking weaknesses to gain additional turn. These Archetypes include the Masked Dancer, the Summoner, and the Berserker. However, enemies are capable of exploiting the party’s weaknesses as well.
Metaphor: ReFantazio will launch on October 11 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Windows (Microsoft Store). Pre-orders for Metaphor: ReFantazio are available now, and fans may check availability at the game’s official website.
