Hexyz Force

Hexyz Force is a role-playing game set in Berge, a world divided between the constantly illuminated Lustrous Berge and the perpetually dark Dark Berge. The two regions are separated by the miasma-filled Black Precipice, and looming events threaten both sides.

Players choose between two protagonists: the young priestess Cecilia “Ceci” Armaclite or the veteran knight Levant von Schweitzer. Each character follows a different storyline, making the game effectively two RPG adventures in one.

Gameplay

Combat begins on the field map, where enemies can be avoided by dodging them. Battles use turn-based combat and the Divine Aspects elemental system. Weapons are tied to elements, and correctly ordered attacks build a damage gauge that can multiply damage when the chain ends. Both the player and enemies can use this gauge.

Weapons are destructible and can be created through crafting and fusion rather than purchased in shops. Components are obtained from battles or gathered at Harvest Points throughout the world.
