Art is done in so-called “HD-2D”. Backgrounds are mainly 3D objects with pixel art textures, and characters are pixel art sprites. It is essentially how one might remember what old games looked like through the rose-tinted lens of nostalgia.
Octopath Traveler – Champions of the Continent is a prequel to the original game . It takes place in the same world, and when clearing different side stories, players can encounter the original heroes. The battle system is essentially the same as the original, with slight adjustments made to make it work for 8 characters instead of 4.
This time instead of 8 main characters, there were 64 at launch, with new additions popping in every couple of weeks. Each character represents one of 8 weapon types and one of 8 elements. Sometimes it is wise to focus on specific elements and weapons when building a team, but at other times a diverse team can help more. Characters also have their rarity ratings from 3 to 5 stars, which affect their max level and available skills. Early on, all characters are viable, but a solid team of 4 stars or better is necessary towards the end of the current storyline.
The reason Champions of the Continent stands out from the masses of mobile games is because it pretty much plays like a premium console game.
The exploration is not simplified in any way. The world is yours to explore with hidden roads, bosses, and treasure chests. Towns have plenty of NPCs to interact with. Characters with yellow boxes have items you can buy or take a risk and try to haggle the price down. Red boxes mean the NPC can be fought for the items and a blue box means you must beg for the item with a certain success rate depending on the item.
Initially, three stories revolve around three different antagonists. Players can choose the order they want to clear these stories. After clearing all of them, the game opens up more with one storyline leading players forward. The exploration and sidequests are still there, of course. Many of the playable characters have their own storylines available to discover after reaching far enough in the main story.
There are no social features. No friends to add. No leaderboards. No guilds. No PvP. No co-op. Nothing.
Character gachas and the possibility of continuing the battle with premium currency after losing are the only monetization mechanics the game has. New gacha banners with new characters pop up every now and then for those who want to collect all of them and have the most diverse options available for team building. Once you have a character, you can keep on pulling from gacha for duplicates for faster upgrading, but you can also farm the same shards from boss dungeons once a day if you are not in a hurry.

Embark on an adventure revolving around the Crystal with four new warriors of light.
5,000 years have passed since the death of the great alchemist who proposed the creation of Crystal, creator of all things.
The light of the Crystal has yet to shine upon the land, which has become a vast wasteland called the “Blood Sands.” And a great rift valley created by a giant’s arrow has separated the lands from north to south, dividing people’s cultures from east and west.
In this vast land ruined by many years of wars and “Blood Sands,” there was but one area blessed with water and greenery. It is here where our story begins—in “Brass, The Alchemy City.”
