Metaphor Gameplay: Refantazio
Metaphor: Refantazio is set in the United Kingdom of Euchronia, a medieval fantasy world following the assassination of the former king.
Years earlier, an assassination attempt also targeted the then prince and ended up putting him into a long sleep.
You will play as an orphan from the Elda tribe who masters magic, and is also a friend of the prince.

With the Archetype system, players can switch roles within a team to create more varied battle strategies.
Like most RPG games, you will also explore many dungeons with various types of monsters.
To make exploration more interesting, the game includes a real-time feature to see the aura of opponents around you. For example, blue is for opponents with a low difficulty level.
Exploring various places in the game will also be more interesting and faster by using transportation called “Gauntlet Runner”.

Interesting Facts About Metaphor: Refantazio
Created by the talented creators of Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, Metaphor: Refantazio is a very promising RPG game.
The game explores many themes in depth, such as racism and political unrest. What are some other interesting facts about Metaphor: Refantazio?
Full of Complicated Political Intrigue But Not Boring
Through the released trailer, ATLUS has included several scenes containing political elements in this game.
For example, when the main character gives a speech in front of a group of people to get them interested in giving their support.
As is known, the selection of the next leader is actually quite simple, namely based on the amount of support they receive from the public.
Uniquely, even though it contains strong political elements, it doesn't feel boring at all in this game.
Use of Unity Language in Games
Many games use language and writing that players cannot understand, for example in Minecraft Enchanting Table.
This is also the case in Metaphor: Refantazio. You may feel unfamiliar with the writing in this game.
It turns out that the text comes from a language that actually exists in the real world, namely Esperanto. This language was created by LL Zamenhof in the 1870s.
Zamenhof created the language with the aim of making it a universal language that all countries could use as a unifying language.
Has a unique Archetype System
Metaphor: Refantazio feels like a combination of Persona and Megami Tensei games with many elements from both games.
However, that doesn’t mean that the game doesn’t have any unique elements as their identity. One of the best highlights in Metaphor: Refantazio is their Archetype system.
Unlike Persona, the Archetypes in this game are job classes that will open up as the game progresses and the player's relationships with other characters develop.
In addition, you can also change the class of all party members, which in Persona only allows the main character.
