Overview

Enchanted Arms is a traditional JRPG containing both Sci Fi and Fantasy Themes. Developed by From Software the title was released to Japan in January of 2006 and published by Ubisoft for a release in August 2006 in North America and September 2006 in Europe.
Gameplay
Enchanted Arms uses random battles and turned based combat to present enemies to the player. Players control all four party members. The battles take place on a 24x24 grid, each side containing a 12x12 grid. Characters can move a certain number of squares each turn depending on their stats. Attacks are represented through squares of the grid being highlighted red to show the player the range of the attack, similarly support spells highlight squares green. Moves are divided into three categories; direct attacks which require the player to be standing in a square adjacent to the enemy, ranged attacks which require the player to have an enemy within the highlighted area and support which aid teammates. During the battle players can build their EX gauge, which works similarly to a limit break in Final Fanta

Shop crystal.

sy, however if more than one character has their EX gauge full then combos can be achieved. When a Character is Knocked out they must be revived within 3 turns, when all characters are knocked out the player is presented with a game over screen.

Golems can also be used as party members. These are similar to pokemon in that the player can obtain Golem essence through his fights with sub bosses or in chests placed around the world then create a Golem by fusing it with materials. Golems are different to human characters as they cannot learn new skills, forcing the player to be strategic when it comes to selecting which Golem to use in a battle or whether to use one at all.

Story

The game opens following three friends; Toya, Atsuma and Makoto at the Enchanters University in Yokohama City. During a citywide festival natural disasters strike and the group are forced to rush back to the university to help any stranded students, during which they stumble into an underground laboratory and manage to awaken a Devil Golem, The Queen of Ice. The Queen subsequently attacks the party, knocking them out and utterly destroys the city of Yokohama. Atsuma then wakes up in London City and begins his quest to reunite with Touya and stop the Ice Queen. During his Journey he meets up with Karin, Raigar and Yuki.
