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. However, the same is true for enemies, as they’re 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). Physical pre-orders for Metaphor: ReFantazio are available now, and fans may check retail availability at the game’s official website.
