Discover the origins of Shulk as he and his companions clash against a seemingly-unstoppable mechanical menace. Wield a future-seeing blade, chain together attacks, and carefully position your party members in strategic, real-time combat as you journey across a massive world.
During an attack from the mechanical invaders known as the Mechon, Shulk discovers that he can tap into the full power of a mysterious blade known as the Monado. With the mighty Monado in hand, Shulk sets out to defeat the Mechon once and for all. In addition to the Mechon, you’ll run into wildlife that ranges from docile to deadly. Keep an eye on what attracts monsters’ attention to avoid unwanted conflict…or try your hand at bringing down an ultra-powerful Unique Monster. Upgrade your party as you progress through the adventure by selecting equipment, enhancing weapon skills, and using benefit-granting gems. Put your dependable companions to work by filling the party gauge to trigger a Chain Attack and attack enemies in quick succession!

A splendid journey.
Poetic, cathartic, warm and fresh. One of the best story-driven game I've ever played.
This game feels more like a remake than a remastered, it was clearly crafted with lot of love.
The implement of a post-credit story with a new area, characters and a curious gimmick is also a great welcome.
This fantastic adventure follows the story of Shulk and a very likable cast of characters that will scratch the itch of any JRPG enthusiast. While the voice acting may sometimes feel a little out of place, each of the party members as well as other characters deliver an emotional performance in this carefully crafted story .
While not the traditional turned based,the combat system is a joy, positioning yourself to find weak points and buffing other party members feels smooth and engaging.visions of the future play a big part of the combat and add a great deal of excitement as you will sometimes rely on this mechanic to keep your party alive during tough fights.
The visuals may be lacking in handheld play but subsequently more impressive in docked mode and plays a beautiful tribute to the original DS tittle.
Absolute masterpiece.
