A combat-focused Grandia adventure featuring strategic battles, combo attacks, and challenging dungeons.
The briefing
In Grandia Xtreme, the Spirits that once protected the world have broken loose, creating monsters and contributing to a devastating war between two powerful nations. After peace is established, the nations unite to hunt down the rogue Spirits.
You play as Evan, a young boy who hopes to become a Ranger like his father. To earn his initiation, he must complete an important mission and help save the world from the Spirits.
This role-playing adventure emphasizes combat more heavily than earlier entries in the series. Its battle system combines strategic planning with combo attacks, while party members can move around the battlefield, evade attacks, and use positioning to affect their attack power.
The game features more dungeons and fighting, with less emphasis on story than the previous two Grandia installments.
