PC Gamer review by Baxter Burchill, published June 17, 2026.

A brisk time-traveling action RPG with high-energy hack-and-slash combat, compact pacing, and effective Faie support abilities.

GamesRadar+ review by Luke Kemp, published June 17, 2026.

Expansive without becoming intimidating, varied without becoming overwhelming, and familiar without feeling tired.

The Guardian review by Tom Regan, published June 18, 2026.

A charming retro-style action RPG with Zelda-like exploration, treasure hunting, temple roaming, and deeper-than-expected combat customization.

Scout ahead with Faie

Use Faie to check dangerous paths, attack from a distance, and interact with objects before Elliot walks into trouble.

Faie can be controlled independently. Send her forward in risky spaces, test enemy positions, grab objects, and help solve puzzles before committing Elliot to a dangerous route.

Practice perfect blocking early

Well-timed blocks reduce damage, can stun enemies, and can reflect certain attacks.

Blocking is introduced early and is worth practicing immediately. Learn the rhythm of common enemy moves and use timed blocks to create safer counterattack windows.

Equip two weapons and switch often

Elliot can equip up to two weapons at once and swap in real time during combat.

Use one weapon for safer general fights and another for range, crowd-control, or heavy-hit situations. Weapon switching also helps manage durability and makes early fights smoother.

Test all seven weapon types in the demo

The Prologue Demo includes all seven weapon types, giving players a safe place to find their preferred combat style.

The PlayStation Blog preview points to the hammer's charge attack and the boomerang's ranged damage. Try every type before judging the combat system, which is built around weapon variety.

Use Magicite to shape your build

Magicite changes weapon behavior, stats, and combat effects.

Search dungeons and exploration routes for Magicite fragments, then slot them into weapons to strengthen the way you already play. Square Enix's demo feedback also confirms improved Magicite menus and weapon-specific Magicite Boxes.

Break pots, jars, crates, and grass

Small environmental objects can hide materials, loot, and useful items.

Treat suspicious clutter as a resource check, especially before entering harder areas or spending money. Breaking objects during exploration is a reliable early source of materials.

Unlock and use fast travel guideposts

Discovered adventuring guideposts allow fast travel across demo-era locations.

Fast travel reduces backtracking after you have opened routes and found guideposts. Prioritize activating guideposts when exploring because later cleanup becomes far easier.

Visit the Shrine of the Mystic for Faie's Warp

Faie's Warp lets Elliot teleport to her position and is useful for both puzzles and enemy pressure.

Warp is a major early ability learned from a Shrine of the Mystic. Use it for puzzle routing, gap movement, and escaping awkward combat positions.

Pick a difficulty that matches your goal

The final game includes easy, normal, hard, and very hard difficulty settings.

Square Enix confirmed expanded difficulty options after debut demo feedback. Use easier settings for exploration and story flow, or harder settings when you want blocking and positioning to matter more.

Do not treat the demo as the full walkthrough

The Prologue Demo contains retail content with area limits and save-transfer support.

Use the demo to learn core systems, collect early gear, test Magicite, and prepare a save file for the full game. Late-game routes and full-era progression belong to the complete release.

Control Faie with the Right Stick

• Faie can move independently from Elliot for scouting and object interaction.
• She can retrieve distant objects and help the player inspect dangerous spaces before Elliot moves in.
• Useful in dungeons where enemies, switches, hazards, or items are positioned away from Elliot's direct path.

Local 1-2 Player Support

• The game supports local play for one or two players on supported platforms.
• In local co-op, one player can control Elliot while another controls Faie.
• Faie's independent movement lets the second player support combat, puzzles, scouting, and object handling.

Warp Elliot to Faie

• Warp is learned from a Shrine of the Mystic.
• Warp transports Elliot to Faie's position.
• It can be used for puzzle movement, avoiding hazards, repositioning around enemies, and escaping difficult situations.

Light, Melt, and Detonate

• Ignite can light torches and melt ice.
• It can also detonate explosives, including bombs used in combat and puzzle setups.
• Ignite works especially well with bomb-based builds that benefit from controlled explosion timing.

Pull Enemies and Objects Together

• Vacuum draws nearby enemies and objects toward Faie's magic.
• It can collect dropped items and loot more easily.
• Enemies affected by Vacuum can be repositioned for follow-up attacks or moved toward hazards.

Mirror Elliot's Actions

• Copy lets Faie mimic Elliot's movement and actions.
• It can help with switches and synchronized puzzle actions.
• Copy can also interact with weapon actions, including sword, spear, bomb, and thrown-item setups.

Attack, Rescue, and Reposition

• Faie can help attack enemies from a safer distance.
• She can support positioning by setting up Warp locations.
• Faie can also revive Elliot by spending tul.
