When your job is to determine the fate of the world, it's important that your companions and your swordplay are able to back you up. The strength of Hexyz Force is a battle system that lets you be both impulsive and strategic, smiting your foes thoroughly without getting careless. Supported by a diverse cast and two distinct story arcs, this game offers up a classic dungeon-running adventure that focuses on the basics and proves to be a satisfying experience.
Your two main characters are thrown into their respective roles, and they react differently to the weight of their divine duty. The serious-minded Levant makes the transition from responsible knight to scion of the gods with little apparent effort, but his counterpart, Cecilia, would rather hand all this heroic nonsense off to someone else. Anyone else. Their journeys intertwine at several points, but each has obstacles to overcome. While most of the classic role-playing tropes make an appearance--a dark god sealed for centuries is about to break loose--the narrative moves briskly along and stays focused on the development of the cast. The voice work is used sparingly and to good effect, with the requisite outbursts in battle punctuating your mightiest skills.
