Please note that this title is exclusive to the New 3DS and New 3DS
XL Consoles
In a vast world of adventure, where the action stretches as far as the eye
can see, you must battle evil in the sprawling RPG Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, only
for New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL.
An almighty crash heralded the sudden arrival of the Bionis and the Mechonis
to this world, for the two titans were locked in a timeless battle. Once the
dust had settled, only their corpses remained. Now, the Bionis' enormous body,
covered in lush plains, is home to a developed civilisation, the Homs. But life
on Bionis was not destined to flourish forever.
One day, a horde of mechanical life forms from the Mechonis launched an
all-out attack on the inhabitants of Bionis. The Homs' only remaining hope is a
legendary sword, Monado, said to be a gift from the titan itself. Unfortunately,
whosoever wields the sword must endure a great toll on their body…
As hero Shulk, you set forth on a mission of revenge to destroy the Mechon.
Accompanied by supporting characters Dunban, Reyn, and Sharla, among others,
you’ll experience extensive exploration and battle against mechanical enemies,
using strategy and special powers with a variety of characters.
There's plenty to discover in locations other than your main destinations,
and there are also times when you'll need to look above and below you. Every
resident of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D's towns performs different actions,
depending on whether it is morning, evening, or night, bringing to life this
rich and diverse world.
Inevitably, you will be drawn into battles with roaming enemies, each visible
in the field. Combat combines action game-style attacks and turn-based tactics:
pick your moment during battle to perform special actions known as ‘Arts’,
which, once used, must cool down. Communicating with your party and increasing
party affinity allows you to perform powerful Chain Attacks, and you can also
give simple commands to your party members, directing them to concentrate their
attacks on a certain enemy, for example.
When the battle is over, you will receive experience that lets you level up
and points that you can use to customise your abilities.
