Picture yourself stepping into the world of Synth Beasts, where you become what’s known as a “Synth,” essentially a failed experiment that breaks free from your creators’ sinister lab nestled on a mysterious island. As you roam across this intriguing archipelago, you soon cross paths with other Synths. However, they’re not exactly ready to roll out the welcome mat. You’ll need to engage them in battle, and with each victory, you unlock them as part of your playable lineup. This grants you access to their unique host of abilities, which come in handy for combat and exploring the intriguing world around you.
In the heat of battle, your Synths gain experience points, leading to their progression in levels. Each Synth features a five-tier leveling system, complete with distinct bonuses that allow for a personalized gaming experience. As your Synth becomes more seasoned, gathering additional experience turns into a bit of a challenge. That’s why it’s smart to rotate through your crew frequently, maximizing their capabilities and unlocking fresh abilities that will aid your quest!
Take, for instance, the “Psitek” Synth. From the get-go, it’s able to light torches, but once it hits level three, it gains a cool new trick: the ability to destroy projectiles with its fire slash — a skill that’s quite the asset in certain dungeons. Nevertheless, as it levels up, its perks increasingly focus on boosting combat abilities. Thus, it might be wise to switch to another Synth to discover new skills without having to grind for those elusive experience points!
Early on in your adventure, you’ll stumble upon a boat previously used by scientists, which you can now commandeer for your explorations. The Genesis Archipelago is peppered with small islands full of hidden treasures, like extra hearts, stat-boosting items, and currency for spending in various shops. If hunting for every last item isn’t your style, you can jump straight to the prime islands, taking the battle directly to the scientists and unraveling their dubious operations.
The islands aren’t just a series of minor stops along your journey; they include boss Synths, which can be found even on the more optional islands. Capturing over 40 Synths scattered throughout the archipelago will be no easy task. But for those intrepid enough to explore every nook and cranny, great rewards await!
Embark on a journey through the mesmerizing Genesis Archipelago, release the Synth Beasts, and put an end to the eerie experiments perpetrated by the scientists! Game enthusiasts can look forward to Synth Beasts launching in 2025, available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and through the Microsoft Store. Get ready for a gaming adventure that challenges and excites!
