Falcom has shared new information and screenshots of Kyoto Xanadu, its upcoming action RPG. The materials showcase several key characters and details of the real-time combat system. The title, which blends modern and supernatural elements in Kyoto, promises a dynamic experience with exploration and magic mechanics. The Japanese publisher thus seeks to maintain interest ahead of its release.
Real-time combat system and urban exploration mechanics 🎮
The game uses a real-time action system where players control a protagonist who can switch between melee attacks and magical abilities. The screenshots reveal a combo and dodge system with a clean interface. Exploration focuses on the city of Kyoto, with maps integrating both urban areas and dungeons. Falcom details that progress depends on resource management and timing attacks to break enemy defenses.
Because yes, another hero with a jacket and sword saving the city 😅
The protagonist seems to have stepped out of a youth clothing catalog: a modern jacket, a magical sword, and a serious expression that probably hides the fact he doesn't know where he left his keys. The supporting characters include the typical mysterious girl who speaks in riddles and the friend who explains basic things. Very original. At least the screenshots show that the enemies have varied designs, though surely more than one will end up being a boss with a mask and an unpronounceable name.
